Cucina24 - Asheville

The location is in a unique area and the food is excellent. The pasta is very fresh! Slightly confused by the pizza oven in the restaurant but they have a sister restaurant serving Italian Street food and Pizza nearby. Their tiramisu has an ice cream twist which was a delight.

We decided to visit Asheville 's 4 best Italian restaurants Luminosa, Cucina24, Contrada, and Strada in a single week and see which we liked the best. Cucina was our second destination of the week and had the very best service by far. The food was pretty good we thought the pastas were better at Luminosa but we really liked our salad and the focaccia is out of this world, made in a traditional style that would stand up to any Ligurian focacceria. Ultimately though, the good food is just an added bonus to the excellent service, which has us looking forward to our next visit already. Highly recommend.

Some locals recommended this spot as a good date night and “high end” restaurant. The menu changes daily, but the focaccia bread was amazing the perfect amount to split their tagliatelle wood roasted trout for dinner. Our drinks were delicious and Dave our bartender gave us very attentive service. We did not have a reservation, so we sat at the bar which was a great show watching them prepare all their cocktails. My espresso martini as my night cap really left a wonderful experience for myself and hubby.

I dined at Cucina 24 tonight for my birthday and everything from the staff to the food were wonderful! The host was kind, welcoming, and accomdating. I arrived for my reservation early but they were great and was able to get me sat immediately. My server, Nicala, was very attentive, knowledgeable and kind. She even surprised me with a dessert for my birthday! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxing. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town!!
