I am looking for good, quality restaurants in Greensboro. I have been disappointed with several recently, and would love a good suggestion.
I would also like to invite any and all to visit Napoli at 309 State Street (www.napolideli.com) for authentic Italian food at a good price.

Unfortunately very few of us actually live in Greensboro, NC so I don't think we will, as a group be a lot of help. But if I'm ever there I'll definitely check out your deli!

All the restraunts in Greensboro have the same problem -- location. Location and parking. Who cares how good the food is if you can't find a place to park your jet within an hours walk of the place.

Panch Villa's for Mexican Food, Gate City Chop House for steaks, Lucky 32's, Cellar Anton's for Italian, Laddie and Dukes and lastly, the best in town... Green Valley Grill at the O Henry Hotel.

If you're looking for pretty high class dining, Ruth's Chris Steak House on Green Valley Rd is amazing. Everything is just incredible there. Definately try the cheesecake for dessert. It is a very expensive place though. Dinner for two will be close to a hundred dollars.
Not quite as expensive but very classy as well is Green Valley Grill on Green Valley Rd next to the ohenry hotel.
Outback towards the end of battleground across from lawndale shopping center is great as well.
My personal favorite restuarant in greensboro is Laddie and duke's on the corner of battleground and horse pen creek. While their steaks are only just above average, everything else on the menu that i have tried is just delicious. All their chicken dishes are perfect, great crab cakes, great crab dip, their spinach dip is wonderful, and their sandwich selection is huge and all of them are very very tasty. And Laddie's is not very expensive. Two people can have a great meal for 40 bucks.

oh and if youre looking for good italian food, positano's in the Target shopping center on lawndale is just spectacular, and very inexpensive, especially for the quality, service, and portions that you get.

It's been too many years since the time I spent in Greensboro . . . I no longer remember the names of the restaurants that really impressed me. Well, also, at that point in my life I didn't really eat in expensive restaurants much.
I used to love Elizabeth's Pizza, but, honestly, it wasn't that the food was that good as it being a very warm, friendly restaurant. Everybody felt like a regular there. What a pizza joint should be.
I absolutely loved Yum-Yum's, which OSC trashed in Shadow of the Giant. *shrug* Go figure. I don't like hot dogs at all, but I thought their homemade ice cream was fantastic.
A few years ago my wife and I were passing through and we ate at the Melting Pot (on Battleground). We have a Melting Pot hobby . . . we eat at one in each town we find them in. The one in Greensboro was one of the . . . mmm . . . less spectacular ones. Not terribly clean, etc.
I remember having really liked a little restaurant we ate at that was an outparcel in the shopping center with Kroger in it on Battleground (can you tell what part of town I used to live in?). It had a really pretty deck for outdoor dining. But I can't remember what the place was called, and I don't know if it's still there. It was great for a date, though.

Now for really good pizza, Golden on Lawndale has great new york style pizza. Double extra cheese is my favorite.
And Pieworks is good if value is not a concern. they are stupid expensive, but well worth it for a once in a while splurge for flavor. (i actually used to work there and must say, it was ALWAYS better when I made it )

So, has anyone tried her restaurant? We should do a review...
"The veal tasted like cabbage. Old rancid cabbage.
Presentation was excellent -- a complete blackout spared us even having to see what we were served as well as the grimy person who served it.
Dessert was a do-it-yourself affair. I ended up having the 'two-packets-of-SweetNLow-in-a-glass-of-water'"
