Bella Luna

Reviewed favorably in fall (2018). Went back with friends last night (cold, in January). In addition to my party of 6, they had tables with 12 and 14. That's a challenge for any restaurant, especially so for one that is fairly small. But they handled the crowd well. Our server took wine orders from entire table, most different, remembered them all. Food is still solid- family Italian style. New item- Seafood Fra Diavolo, available in app or entree size. Choice of shrimp or mussels. I took shrimp. Tomato sauce is pleasantly spicy. Other more detailed food descriptions accessible on greensboro.com website. Search either Bella Luna or John Batchelor for full review. Saw no indication that I was recognized, although copy of review is posted in window. I like this place!

Shrimp and Grits

If you are a fan of this popular dish, check Cafe Pasta (336-272-1308). Their rendition is one of my favorites, and they put it on special often. This past weekend (1/25-26) the price was $10.95. That is a great value!
