"Glass Onion is a cozy little spot in Weaverville. My husband and I made reservations for dinner on the last night of our Asheville trip after reading about this restaurant in a local food blog. The interior of the restaurant is intimate without feeling crowded, and had a definite old school vibe. Our server was wonderful and attentive, with great recommendations throughout our meal. We started with a bottle of Chianti, which was a nice accompaniment to our dinner. We sampled three appetizers, and liked the Warm Eggplant Caponata the most. This resembled a rustic ratatouille, and paired nicely with the crusty bread we were served after placing our order. The Bosc Pear Slow Roasted Beet Salad was good but not our favorite. We also tried the Grilled Peach Salad special, and were surprised that only the radicchio was grilled, not the peaches themselves. Our server told us that her favorite entree was the Housemade Fettuccini with Italian Sausage Ragu Fresh Ricotta, so we had naturally had to try it. This was a perfect recommendation the sauce was warm and comforting, and the handmade noodles were cooked to perfection. We cleaned the plate! My husband also ordered the Local Sunburst Trout, which he says was cooked well but a little plain. We also tried their Tiramisu for dessert, which was a nice way to end our meal. While the food was probably closer to three stars for us on this visit, our server 's friendliness and attentiveness made our experience all the more enjoyable. I think we would give the Glass Onion another chance the next time we 're in the area and just stick to their pasta offerings."
