A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

venue Ranalli’s Up North

The Ranalli's menu covers a lot of ground, which can be a bad sign at some places, but it does Italian (pasta, chicken parmigiana), Mexican (tacos, burritos), pizza, and sandwiches pretty well. Try the Panzerotti, the house specialty. Similar to a calzone, it wraps veggies, cheese, and a special sauce in a doughy crust. Sound messy? It is, but the homey dining room-decorated with antiques, movie memorabilia, Christmas lights, and Cubs stuff-is relaxed, so you can get sloppy.
