What people say, in short

Tufano's Vernon Park Tap receives repeated Italian-food recommendations. Two commenters praise its affordability, with one also noting large portions. Another loves its old Chicago atmosphere, and a separate diner describes a family tradition of going there for decades. A commenter places it near UIC and calls the food decent. The older comment is unsure about cash-only payment, so it should not be treated as a current payment-policy fact.
