Cucina 24 (Asheville, NC)

Nine Mile (Asheville, NC)

Delicious and original! The staff was very friendly and made great recommendations when we couldn't make up our minds. :)

Modesto (Asheville, NC)

Yet another great success by Hector Diaz, owner of Chorizo and Salsa's.

Venti (Cumming, GA, GA)

This is a great Italian restaurant, and rumor has it that the chef was hired away from another Italian place that used to be one of our favorites. Great food, great service, and so much more authentic than the typical chains!
