Want to step back in time and have a good meal? Try this place out. The owners are wonderful and show you amazing hospitality. Everything made from scratch and don't forget to order a Cannoli for dessert. Very very good

It's been a favorite of mine for probably 20-years now. At least the past 15. For several years, I lived at 24th Pl. and Princeton. A block away. It can be a challenge to find parking. Though I don't eat them, there seems always to be frog legs on the daily special menu and I have some friends who go there just for that. Decent food at a decent price. Nothing award-winning, but worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood and don't want Chinese.

Its just good home cooked Italian food. This is the stuff you would get if you had an Italian grandma cooking on Sundays for you.

Greek-owned/operated restaurant offering some Italian food, as I'm recalling. "Home cooked" if someone's definition means cooking in a commerical kitchen by hired help, mostly of Mexican heritage. Don't get me wrong, I like the place. But a Tufano's it isn't. A good place to stop before/after a Sox game.

Ignotz's has been my go-to place down there, though I don't get down there much. They got Check Please'd recently, but hopefully long enough ago that it's not a mob scene there any more.

I think you've posted to the wrong discussion.

Not sure what you meant by "Some" Italian food, but......

Its all Italian on the menu , and its not a commercial kitchen. As you know they got some really great homemade specials every single day. The kitchen is small. Are you thinking of the same place I am, and not the Bertuccis near Hickory Hills?

BTW Bertucci's is a much better atmosphere than Tufano's. Also the owner and her son do much of the cooking from scratch.

The place is a hidden gem. You are actually in a real old school Italian Neighborhood in the city. Tufano's looks way more modern than Bertucci's.

P.S. If you like true crime, many mobsters have spent time inside Bertucci's. Especially back in the day.

Well, Tufano's is also in an old Italian neighborhood.

I have no idea who the owner of Bertucci's is but I agree that it's hard to characterize it as anything other than an Italian restaurant.

At least from what I remember when I went there.

I think he thought the discussion was around the 24th and Oakley area, not 24th in Chinatown.
