5 Best Italian Restaurants in Greensboro, North Carolina that Will Make You Feel Like You’re in Rome

Greensboro, North Carolina — a city stitched together by red brick and green canopies, where the scent of magnolias drifts through neighborhoods old and new, and where every block hums with the laughter of families, the quiet pride of students, and the stories of newcomers and old-timers alike. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: stately Victorians, mid-century storefronts, and the ever-present spires of churches and schools that anchor the city’s soul. Greensboro is a crossroads — of history and hope, of Southern roots and global dreams, of barbecue smoke and the sweet promise of something simmering on the stove.

Vietnamese sandwich and bubble tea restaurant opens in Lake Norman retail center

Co-owners Tracy Quach and Luynh Nguyen have brought the authentic flavors and ingredients of their native Vietnam to Lake Norman with their new bánh mì and bubble tea restaurant, Vietopia . The establishment opened Oct. 1 in the former R&B Tea space in the Winslow Bay Commons (SuperTarget) shopping center at N.C. 150 and Bluefield Road in Mooresville. “When we took over the shop, we wanted to create something special that you could not find around here,” Quach told CharlotteFive at the restaurant Wednesday. Bulgogi Beef ($9.50) is the most popular menu item, Quach said. The bánh mì item includes beef with a secret sauce, pickled Daikon, carrot, cucumber and cilantro. “Very fresh,” Quach said. “Everything homemade.” Other bánh mìs include the Vietnamese Cold Cuts ($9), pork, liver pate and Vietnamese ham; the Mooresville ($9.75), pork, ham and pate; the Vegetarian ($8), tofu and vegan ham; the Shredded Chicken ($9) and the Roasted Pork ($9.50). The Vietnamese baguette with each bánh mì “has a hollow inside, not too dense, a little crispy on the outside, and best when you eat it warm,” Quach said. Fresh spring rolls (pork, shrimp, beef and tofu selections) are $6.50 for two rolls and $9.50

12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.

10 North Carolina Italian Restaurants Where Your Money Goes Further

I love a fancy dinner as much as anyone. Still, my favorite Italian meals tend to come from family-run rooms with red sauce, garlic knots, and a takeout box for later. In one North Carolina pizzeria, a single slice gets compared to the size of a medium pie. I had to read that twice.
