Ranelli's has built its name in Five Points South as an Italian deli institution, the kind of place that collects regulars over decades rather than months. The Richman sandwich is the order people ask for by name, with meatball subs and cheese bread rounding out the dishes that keep coming up in what locals say about the place.
The patio adds to the draw, a low-key setting for a sandwich in a neighborhood built for exactly that kind of stop.
