Cranelli's Italian Restaurant

Connor’s Visit (September 2025): “On our visit, the garlic knots kicked things off and were a hit. They were quickly followed by Italian Poppers, which kept the momentum going straight into the arancini — golden risotto balls filled with ham, gruyere, and mozzarella over raspberry jam… For mains, the half Chicken Parm was excellent (I left with marinara on my shirt like a badge of honor), and the Bolognese also earned high marks. Entrees come in half or full sizes… the panna cotta with blueberry compote absolutely stole the show. Plan ahead — if you go during the 6:00–7:00 rush, expect a wait.” (DougCo Drop, September 10, 2025)
