To start Order a sharable panzarotti ($2.50), a mozzarella-and-tomato-sauce-filled pastry pocket, for the kids to munch on at the café tables at Tony’s Italian Deli (6708 N Northwest Hwy, 773-631-0055). While they eat, you can peruse the bevy of imported Italian cheeses, pasta, take-home meals and other goodies that line the aisles of this specialty grocery.

Play it safe with spaghetti and marinara, or encourage a little adventurous eating with a playful shape (bow ties are always fun) and a buttery besciamella.
