2. Pastabilities

I went there several weeks ago, had Pesto Lime Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Mashed Potatoes. It was incredible. Despite being crowded, the wait time was short, service was very friendly and helpful, and prices were very reasonable.

This place is consistently extremely good! Both the food and the wait staff are great and create a warm and inviting place for a meal.

This is one of the great neighborhood restaurants in Greensboro. The owner, Cindy Essa, formerly was with Cafe Pasta and brought all of her talents to Pastabilities. Wait staff is extremely friendly and helpful, many with multiple years of experience. Features medium priced wines and plenty of beer options. The bartender, Martin, makes the best martini in Greensboro. Chef has just added to terrific specials -- Southwestern Chicken and Stir-Fry Chicken in a peanut butter sauce, unbelievable. My mouth is watering as I write. Julius Caesar Shrimp and Huey, Louie, and Andouille are old time favorites along with the Chicken Cacciatore and Veal Parmesan. Homemade desserts from Cindy's mom, Margaret, are the perfect finish to the evening -- peanut butter pie, apricot cake and tiramisu are excellent. The pricing makes this the best bargain in Greensboro. Most entrees in the $9-$11 range. You can have a great evening for two for $30. Or if you just want to sit at the Canopy Bar and enjoy conversation with friends, Martin will keep you entertained.
