Harrisonburg Eats Worthy of Your Love This Valentine’s Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at JMU chapter.

Food is the #1 way to any college student’s heart. Whether you’re looking to jumpstart a spark with your date, or simply seeking to treat yo’self this Valentine’s Day, Harrisonburg has some great options for you and your tastebuds to truly fall in love.

Bella Luna’s Wood-Fired Pizza

What cuisine is more reliably romantic than Italian? Bella Luna’s menu offers a rustic and tasty selection of homemade pizzas and pastas. Bella’s tends to get packed though, so make sure you get your reservations in before the big date.

Pro-Tip: After hitting Bella Luna’s up, run across the road to their other five-star counterpart, Bella Gelato & Pastries Shop, for some dank dessert.

CubanBurger is the leather-jacket-wearing, dreamy-eyed, hunk-of-a-restaurant that will give you a date with a menu so heart-crushingly tasty, there’s an equal chance you’ll leave more in love with the food than anything else in your life.

You can’t go wrong, even if your date is vegetarian, because they’ve got something to satisfy everyone. With suave mood lighting and tasty appetizers, like the ah-mazing fried yucca and plantains, you can trust knowing the foodie in you will definitely be getting lucky (as far as dinner goes, wink, wink).

Ah, The Little Grill. My heart already flutters at the thought of their daily breakfast and lunch menu, which is phenomenal all year round. In addition to their usual hours and vegan/vegetarian friendly options, they’re putting on a special V-Day event this year providing you (and your someone special) to experience a one-of-a-kind four course dinner. Uhhh, sign me up.
