A brave restaurant with an Italian theme will go into a Greenville Avenue location that could politely be called iffy. Called Gallo Nero Italian Bistro, it will open at 1905 Greenville Ave., in the space that was most recently Chombo's, and before that La Bodegas, and before that, Bohemian Cafe, and before, and before.

Gallo Nero is a sibling to Roma's Italian, a restaurant in Lancaster, which also has a spinoff quartet of Roma's in Louisiana. The Lancaster restaurant is popular with the locals, who rave over the baked pasta dishes and the house-made complimentary garlic bread, served warm.
