  We celebrated my wife’s birthday there last night. Our waitress, Elise, offered to box our meals; however they were not in our bad when we made it home. We contacted the restaurant to see what could be done, the very moment we arrived home. Two phone calls, an email, and a Facebook message were ignored. We called the next day when they opened for dinner to see what could be done. We are from out of town and we’re relying on that food as part of our sustainability on our trip. We attempted to explain this to manager Kyle, but he was extremely rude. We were then offered a $25 gift card, instead of having the food remade. Our pastas amounted to at least $60, so we still wouldn’t be able to repurchase the meals we didn’t receive in our to go bag. We would never recommend this restaurant! We gave the restaurant the opportunity to make it right by replacing the food. You specifically said that you’re the one who put the food in the bag — then you also would have noticed we had only eaten a few bites of our food. We had just left your bar and a restaurant before that. That food was going to be eaten when we arrived back home, after Elise suggested we go to Day Bar when we left there.

  I had really only heard of Bargello while looking at other restaurants in town and seeing it in the search results. As a local, I’ve been to the spectacular bar inside the Arras, but never somehow never noticed a restaurant. Hm.. Anyway, we ate at Bargello the other night as a treat for my MIL’s birthday and it was wonderful. The atmosphere was elevated but comfortable, elegant without being pretentious. The service was exactly what one should expect in a restaurant like this - friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being over the top. I often lament the poor service in Asheville, especially in places charging high-dollar, but this was exactly right. Blaze, our server, was fantastic throughout. The food was excellent. Whatever chorizo sauce they let the mussels swim in was sensational, the veggie fritters were delightful, and the red snapper was cooked perfectly. The wine selection is extensive and interesting. Order the orange cake for dessert. Trust me. I’m very impressed by this gem that is somehow hidden directly in the middle of downtown.

  We enjoyed our dinner at Bargello. My wife's dish of snapper with a pepper sauce was the hit - a great dish. Muscles for an appetizer were good, but could have used more salt, garlic or both. Overall, a great experience.

  We had a great experience here. The food was amazing - homemade pasta was so good, braised short rib so tender, and drinks were delicious. We also had the garden fritters and they were unique and very tasty. The service was excellent.

  Look, it’s been two months since I visited Bargello from out of town, but I literally dreamed about their ravioli last night, so that deserves a review. If my subconscious reminiscences are anything to go by, the food was top notch. The service was also excellent, and I say this as a solo diner who has been overlooked elsewhere. My server was attentive, kind, and very knowledgeable. She pointed me in the right direction for both food and wine. I’ll be back on my next visit.
