• Food was decent. Staff was friendly. Cash only. It kinda just tasted like homemade food though, so it didn't really feel worth going out to eat for me.

• Supposedly started because Al Capone attended Vernon's Tap and asked for food. The food was so good, he suggested they make a restaurant.

• In 2008 Tufano's Vernon Park Tap was named one of "America's Classic Restaurants" by the James Beard Foundation, but nobody's putting on airs here.

• When pressed, the owners will admit that Tufano’s founder served as Capone’s personal chef. Is the eggplant parmigiana still made the way Capone liked it? Who knows? But it’s dangerously good.
