20 Best Italian Restaurants near Weaverville

“Our New Year's Eve dinner at the Glass Onion was fabulous, as expected. We're new to the area and this was our second dinner at the restaurant. We started with tuna tartare, Caesar salad and the yummy complimentary rolls. I had the delicious lobster ravioli entree and my husband had the rib eye steak. Both were wonderful. We agreed that we will be regulars at Glass Onion!“

“awesome place! great food ! good service! go and be happy! :)“

“Hands down the best food I've had in the southeast in my 30 years living here. We will absolutely be back!“

“We have visited once for dinner and once for breakfast and I have a tough time putting down my utensils. Dinner with 4 had tartar and mussels and calamari apps and all were perfect. I had the Gemelli pasta dish (gluten sensitive) and enjoyed the flavors. For breakfast I had the Benedict Hash. My mouth wants to marry that sauce. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked, the sauce is bold with lemon and paprika and oh so delicious.“

“My wife and I have made it a holiday tradition to dine at The Original Vinnie’s Neighborhood Italian every time we visit Asheville. If you’re looking for a meal that feels genuinely authentic and welcoming, this is the one spot you absolutely have to visit.\n\nThe Food We started with the house-made fried mozzarella sticks, and I’m not exaggerating when I say they are by far the best I’ve ever had. For the main course, I had the sausage, peppers, and onions, while my wife went with the twice-baked lasagna. Both dishes were delicious, high-quality, and more than enough to satisfy a hearty appetite.\n\nThe Service We did have a small hiccup getting a table when we first arrived, but the manager was excellent. Once the issue was brought to their attention, they stepped in immediately to make sure we were seated and taken care of quickly.\n\nOne Quick Tip The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is the parking. It’s notoriously difficult to find a spot nearby, and since they do not take reservations, you’ll want to arrive well ahead of time to account for the hunt for a parking space and the likely wait for a table.\n\nIt’s a local favorite for a reason—totally worth the extra effort!“

“The food was served at perfect temperatures. The hostess was very personable. The Bargello old fashion was amazing. I felt like the table was a unattended for longer than average times but other than that it was a great meal and a great night trying out out Bargello.“

“Strada Italiano really impressed me. It has an inviting, upscale vibe that’s perfect for a night out. The vegan food was delicious—creative, flavorful, and satisfying. The ravioli especially was so good, easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. Their drink menu is excellent too, with options that pair perfectly with the meal. Highly recommend for a night out with amazing food and a cozy atmosphere!“

“My husband and I both ordered the Veal Marsala and it was delicious. Christine our waitress was super friendly and very attentive.“

“My girlfriend and I stopped into the Olive Garden in Asheville on Tunnel Road and we had their soup and salad and it was probably the best lunch I’ve ever had. It was really good and our waiters name was Rain. I know, a very unusual name. He said he liked his name, but when when he was a kid, the other kids would tease him saying rain rain go away come back another day but he had a great sense of humor about it, lifting our spirits, making our day a lot more fun and we will certainly be going back to Olive Garden again!“

“The Original Papa Nicks won our hearts decades ago. During their hiatus, we starved, craving their delicious fare! We could not be happier when we found out they had reopened and even more so when they expanded! 👏❤❤❤“

“This pizza is next level! They are not messin around!!! They are helping the community during the Hurricane Helene aftermath! Their salads and pasta are so fresh and flavorful. I’m from Charleston, SC, it’s a foodie town… pizza is not our strong suit(with some exceptions). We newly arrived in Asheville and our minds were literally blown away by this restaurant!!! All the LOVE!!!“
