The number 1 choice of the Beat Cop’s Guide readers, as well as your two humble authors, is Serelli’s.
A staple of Chicago’s far west side for generations, Serelli’s is the typical Italian grocery we talked anout in our Tony’s entry. In addition to being a neighbor grocery, Serelli’s also has the best beef in the city. The way I’ve always liked it best was to buy it by the pound and heat it up myself at home. It’s an instant party, even when your fellow partyers are a wife, three little kids, and a loud dog.
Serelli’s is the perfect blend of taste and ambiance. The beef is always cooked properly, and the gravy is just right, not overpowering or watery.
