Amicizia - Asheville

Many vegan options and all delicious! The chef bent over backwards to grill my eggplant instead of frying it. He also swapped out gluten free options for pasta for us. They were so accommodating! We will be back and I highly recommend them.

Excellent service from some very friendly, professional waitstaff. Waitstaff all very well versed is menu, options, and wine. Kitchen staff have it really going on!! Some amazing menu choices, all served in massive portions for price! Eggplant parm with a steak size piece of eggplant. Calzone the size of large platter. Excellent quality ingredients, diverse menu options. Many many vegetarian or vegan options. Great size place, very clean. I would maybe hope in future maybe some outdoor dining option added. But little hidden gem in west avl!!

They hand make the pasta here. If you don't mind paying just a little more than the chain places you can have real dishes. I orderd ravioli came with breadsticks and sauce. Order a coke. I had to order salad did not come with it. It was huge. The size of my main dish. All that plus a 25% tip was 19 and some change.

Wonderful experience and big props to the kitchen! Everything came out super fast. Veggies tasted like they had just been picked out of a garden. Pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked. Our server, Vinny, was on his game and sincerely personable. The environment of the restaurant was comfortable and cozy. Prices were fair. Tiramisu was to die for. Will definitely be back, possibly tomorrow.

A pleasant Italian food island in a sea of AVL beer and tacos. Forget Olive Garden; forget Vinnie's. Remember Amicizia. It's located in the old Barbecue Inn building on Patton Avenue near Haywood Rd intersection. Plenty of parking, a new outdoor patio, and best of all delicious food. We had pasta dishes and eggplant parmigiana. Oh boy! Service was good and friendly. Prices are a tad higher than median entrees in AVL, but we thought it was worth it for the home cooking. Con: located on a median-divided road, if you accidentally drive pass it, you'll need to turn around and make a U.
