“I had really only heard of Bargello while looking at other restaurants in town and seeing it in the search results. As a local, I’ve been to the spectacular bar inside the Arras, but never somehow never noticed a restaurant. Hm.. Anyway, we ate at Bargello the other night as a treat for my MIL’s birthday and it was wonderful. The atmosphere was elevated but comfortable, elegant without being pretentious. The service was exactly what one should expect in a restaurant like this - friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being over the top. I often lament the poor service in Asheville, especially in places charging high-dollar, but this was exactly right. Blaze, our server, was fantastic throughout. The food was excellent. Whatever chorizo sauce they let the mussels swim in was sensational, the veggie fritters were delightful, and the red snapper was cooked perfectly. The wine selection is extensive and interesting. Order the orange cake for dessert. Trust me. I’m very impressed by this gem that is somehow hidden directly in the middle of downtown.”
