10Best Says

Don't be surprised if you happen to be dining next to Chicago Blackhawk legends or players like Bobby Hull, Duncan Keith or Jonathan Toews since they've all been to Tufano's where the Stanley Cup has also made an appearance. Located off-the-beaten path in a very residential neighborhood, those in the know love the casual dining establishment because it's somewhat hidden and consistent. The menu has a mix of pasta dishes and fish entrees. Try the homemade ravioli, the stuffed shells, or the seafood salad, most of which are served in large portions. Plus, the great prices cast a glowing halo on your entire visit.
