"Dating to 1994, Pranzo is the kind of cheap, red-sauced Italian refectory that used to fill the city. It sells pizza and steam table dishes that allow you to eat well for $10 or less, and it provides a comfortable dining room decorated with mirrors and posters of its culinary offerings. Served with spaghetti and a free garlic knot, the breaded and fried chicken cutlets stacked up and smothered in cheese are formidably good, the marinara as deeply red and pungent as you might have hoped. Stuffed shells and baked ziti are other steam table highlights, along with Thursdays-only rigatoni with sausage and mushrooms. A couple of slices of Pranzo supreme pizza (sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, and onions) will do just as well for lunch or dinner." - Robert Sietsema
