Strada is a favorite of ours. We’ve been for anniversary brunch, birthday dinners and holiday work dinners. My favorite is a simple date night at the bar. Always enjoy the pasta dishes. Have to get the arancini. The short rib bolognese is my favorite. I’m now on a gluten free diet and it’s great knowing there are so many options listed on the menu. Their gluten free pizza is amazing! I like the cocktail menu as well This is a busy place. There are lots of different seating options. Each one offering a different feel, but the food ties it all together. Always had good service. This is one of our Asheville go-to’s. Also very popular for visitors.

Did I eat the food? Yes. Was I in love with it? No. I got the gluten free pizza, and it was middle of the road. Honestly I think I’ve had better frozen pizza. They had the option to put Parmesan and garlic butter on the crust of the other pizzas, but didn’t think to allow it on the gluten free one (they even asked the person who ordered the vegan cheese). Honestly, it may have saved it for me. The atmosphere was fun tho. Also the service and the drinks were very good! the non-gluten free folks seemed to like their food too

When "All Day Darling" claimed to be closed and couldn't offer me any food for dinner, Nine Mile saved the day! Server provided me lots of advice on items with the right portion size I wanted, as well as gluten free choices. And let me tell you, they actually have a very huge amount of gluten free offerings, I was very impressed. I got the jerk spice rubbed grilled chicken with rice and some jerk sauce on the side and it was incredible. The chicken was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The jerk sauce had just the right amount of heat with big, bold flavors blended in. Where All Day Darling failed to satisfy, Nine Mile took over and executed the job with top customer service focus!

Quirky taco shop in a great location with lots of indoor / outdoor seating and plenty of parking. Two outdoor bathrooms. Kid and pet friendly (pets outside). Right on the river. Artsy vibe. They offer a variety of tacos, some cool combinations. Options for gluten free, vegetarian and vegan as well. You may need to check if what you want comes on a corn tortilla or a flour tortilla. The food is pretty good. In all honesty, I've had much better. If say on average the tacos are a 6-8 out of 10. Often, I prefer authentic Mexican tacos, they just know how to do meat SO well, it's always tender and flavorful. But for Americanized tacos these are decent. A bit pricey, be prepared to spend $4-6 per taco. And while the filling is fair, it's not substantial for several of the choices imo. Even after spending $12 on 2 tacos, you're likely to be hungry. I do think this place is worth a try for so many reasons, but personally it's just not in my top favorites for tacos.

Service was great! Food is basic pub fare, pretty good. They have a gluten free menu, no fries because of a shared fryer.

We love this pizza place! I always do the build your own pizzas, and every combination I've tried has been delicious. Great for those on a special diet too – their website is really detailed on all allergen info for all toppings and they are very careful about handling gluten-free pizzas. I usually order ahead on their app to save time.
