On the Road, Again!

It’s been more than a year since the Near Normal Travelers have been out and about. We’ve been to a few restaurants near us, but not experienced anything new. However, now that we’ve all had our COVID-19 vaccinations we’re beginning to venture out, again. We still wear masks except when we’re eating, we use gallons of hand sanitizer, and we keep six feet of distance from other folks.

Burleson, Texas (Bounding to Burleson) is still one of our ‘go to’ towns to find good food. Surprisingly, we still locate restaurants we haven’t visited within the city limits. On this rainy Friday we sampled the cuisine at Villa Dianna Italian Restaurant (2475 E Renfro St, Burleson, TX 76028, 817-426-6664). Housed in an attractive building, this Italian restaurant has been in business since 2005, but in 2015 they had a fire that burned the building, but this disaster didn’t stop the owners. They rebuilt and have been serving customers ever since. During the pandemic they served take-out only; the dining room hasn’t been re-opened for long and is set up for the safety of the customers.
