James Beards Awards 2008: Tufano's

Tufano's Vernon Park Tap
1073 Vernon Park Place, Chicago, IL
Owner: Joseph DiBuono
One of the few remnants of Chicago's Little Italy, Tufano's Vernon Park Tap has been owned and operated by the same family since it opened as a bar in the early 1930s. The small table in the bar's kitchen has since expanded to include two dining rooms that are regularly packed with businessmen, police officers, families, and pre-game sports fans. The restaurant's chalkboard menu offers diners Italian-American classics like lemon chicken, eggplant Parmesan, and fettuccini Alfredo at prices that make just about everyone a regular.

Any relation to Dennis?

This place sucks. The lemon chicken is burnt chicken with lemon juice. Eating burnt food is bad for you.
