The best food in the Asheville/Weaverville area! The complimentary bread they give starts your experience off perfectly because it just melts in your mouth. We got the arancini and calamari appetizers- both were cooked amazingly. We split the pear & beet salad which was so unique and the flavors meshed super well. For our main, we got the gnocchi & duck sausage as well as the pork chop- I’m not sure which was better as they both were delicious. Every dessert sounded to die for but we settled with sharing two. The coconut cake and the peanut butter pie were perfection!

Super cute Italian restaurant tucked into downtown Weaverville. The space feels cozy and intimate, and even on a busy Friday night we were able to enjoy easy conversation without shouting which seems to be a rarity these days.
Our party of four started with the wedge salad and the “table gnocchi,” which was a standout. The gnocchi was divine—pillowy soft, creamy yet somehow still light, with succulent sausage that paired beautifully with the gentle bitterness of the broccoli rabe.
For our mains, my husband and I shared the trout and the short rib stroganoff. Both dishes were excellent, with generous portions and thoughtful flavor combinations that made it hard to choose a favorite.
We ended with the crème brûlée and the tiramisu—classic, comforting, and absolutely delicious. A perfect ending to a truly satisfying dinner. Highly recommend for a relaxing and delicious evening out in Weaverville!

Took my wife here for her birthday this past weekend. We are part time residents in Weaverville and had yet to eat here. We were immediately greeted by both the hostess and incredible smells of what greatness was to come.
The garlic knots were absolutely incredible and its was only the beginning.
I ordered the Ribeye, my favorite cut, and my wife the half chicken. We also ordered drinks, a sidecar and whiskey sour.
First came the drinks. I could not believe how well made both drinks were. Sadly I guess I’m just used to my drink being meh and watered down. These were anything but.
Then came the food. Just writing this review I’m finding my mouth water and the strong urge to drive over there right now.
My Ribeye was wonderful, in fact, it might just be the best I’ve ever had. Cooked to perfection it practically cut itself as soon as my knife touched it. The beans and potatoes were the perfect complements.
My wife, who has a silver medal in picky eating, wasn’t expecting the sensory experience she was about to endure. After 30 years together I can’t remember the last time she actually would not stop talking about how great her meal was and the disappointment on her face when she was done that there wasn’t anymore left.
Just when we were about to cry uncle, our waitress expertly slipped in the dessert menu and we conceded that there was still the tiniest amount of room left to indulge. After all, my wife is contractually obligated to consume the cream brûlée. It’s in the rules and who am I to break them.

What a charming spot! We had a romantic birthday dinner date here and enjoyed everything we ordered. The menu is a good size with a variety of options, including several interesting specials as well a mix of small and large plates. We enjoyed our cocktails, I’d love to see more cocktail options in the future. The peanut butter pie for dessert was delicious! We will be back for another date night.

My wife and I live in Weaverville and dine here often. Last Friday night we met friends for dinner and it was exceptional!. The Blacken Tuna was unbelievable. Wish that was on the menu all the time. The staff is top notch. Thank you Glass Onion

We made the mistake of discounting the negative reviews of Glass Onion. They are, unfortunately, accurate where the food is concerned. The food looked very appetizing and the owners have clearly worked hard to develop an interesting menu and cozy ambience, but none of that can cover up for the fact that the food just didn’t taste very good. From the complimentary rolls to the calamari, to a salad and then the gnocchi.. it was all bland. Seriously bland. And we’re not picky eaters. Will also say the calamari comes with a marinara on the side, but as opposed to a thicker sauce which is how I’ve always had it, it was more like a thin soup. Maybe that’s more traditional, I don’t know, but it too didn’t have much flavor and was generally unappetizing.
One upside is that the service was excellent — efficient and very nice. But it’s a real pity about the food. And at $30-50/meal, there are much better options nearby.

The Glass Onion restaurant in Weaverville was definitely a hit! My husband and I ate there on Saturday night. He had the trout and I had the beef ribs stroganoff. Both were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was warm and the entire staff greeted us kindly. We will definitely be back when in the area!

The best way to describe the food overall is bland. We began with the calamari, which was breaded and fried to perfection; however, the “Pomodoro” sauce lacked flavor and had a very watery consistency, resembling tomato juice with some crushed tomatoes rather than a proper Pomodoro seasoned sauce.
I ordered the Seafood Creole, which was similarly underseasoned and required salt and pepper at the table. The addition of garlic and crushed red pepper flakes would have greatly improved the dish. Unfortunately, the shrimp and scallops were tough and chewy; properly prepared seafood should be fork-tender. The dish was also not served with a crusty bread, which was disappointing, as it would have been ideal for enjoying the remaining broth.
My husband ordered the grilled ribeye with green beans and smashed potatoes. The ribeye was chewy and completely unseasoned. The smashed potatoes had a slight crisp but lacked seasoning, and the green beans were undercooked and also unseasoned. The dish as a whole required basic seasoning and should have been prepared that way before reaching the table.
It just seems like the restaurant is playing it safe by not seasoning the food.
Finally, we shared the house-favorite dessert, the Southern-style coconut cake. The cake itself was delightful, though the portion size felt quite small.
Unfortunately, the service mirrored the food experience. Feedback was shared with our server regarding the dishes, but it was disregarded.
Will we return? Possibly. We believe in giving a restaurant a second chance.

Forget about the second chance. No one from the restaurant bothered to answer the review. Must have enough business not to care.

My wife and I recently visited the Asheville area. We tried the Glass Onion. The food was impeccable and the staff was great! The restaurant had a great vibe. Small enough to really feel intimate but big enough to feel like you had your own space. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals. We will be back!

Excellent gem open on Monday night, which is a
huge plus with so many restaurants closed. The atmosphere, food and service were top notch. Nice and varied wine menu, good specials and I can say the wedge salad with shrimp was wonderful. The garlic rolls at the start of the meal were amazing, and desserts made in house. Don’t miss this wonderful place!
