Crusco is committed to thoughtful cooking and honest hospitality. Our menu is guided by the seasons, driven by ingredients that inspire, and shaped by relationships with local growers and producers. The food is simple and the execution restrained, allowing quality inputs and strong technique to lead the way.

The bar offers modern variations on classic cocktails, a rotating list of food-friendly wines from around the world, and a small selection of non-alcoholic options.

Located on Depot Street in Asheville's River Arts District, the former warehouse space has been updated to create a warm, refined dining experience, while retaining elements of its industrial past that keep it rooted in place.

 FAQs

  • We are happy to accommodate most dietary restrictions and allergies with advance notice. Please inform us when making your reservation so we can prepare accordingly.

    Due to the nature of our menu, allium sensitivities (garlic, onions, leeks, etc.) are particularly difficult to accommodate and may result in very limited options.

    While we make every effort to honor requests, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment.

  • We are unable to accommodate parties larger than six in the dining room. Our covered patio, which is heated in the winter, is available for larger groups and events. Please call 828-505-7060 for parties of 5 - 8 people.

    For groups of 9 or more on the covered patio

    We love hosting larger gatherings and offer two options for groups dining on our covered/heated patio. Each is designed to balance comfort, hospitality, and the flow of our small dining room.

    Option 1: Family-Style Dinner with Flexible Seating

    For groups of 9–14 guests, we offer a four-course, family-style dinner with individual entrée selections for $68 per person, plus a 23% service charge (3% for our kitchen team).
    This price does not include beverages or sales tax.

    Menu Format
    FIRST COURSE:     hors d’oeuvres
    SECOND COURSE: shared appetizers
    THIRD COURSE: individual choice from three entrées
    FOURTH COURSE: dessert

    This option is available during specific time windows—5:00–5:30 PM arrivals or 7:30–8:00 PM arrivals—allowing us to accommodate other reservations before or after your group.
    If you choose the early time, the first course will begin promptly at 5:30 PM.

    Cancellations within 24 hours of the reservation will incur a $68 per person cancellation fee. A brief agreement will be sent to confirm the details.

    Option 2: Exclusive Patio Buyout

    If you’d like the patio to yourselves for the evening, we offer a private dining experience with a $2,000 food and beverage minimum (before sales tax and a 23% service charge, which includes 3% for the kitchen team).

    Dinner is served as a five-course menu for the table at $84 per person, with beverages charged separately.

    Menu Format
    FIRST COURSE:     hors d’oeuvres
    SECOND COURSE: shared appetizers
    THIRD COURSE: shared pasta
    FOURTH COURSE: individual choice from three entrées
    FIFTH COURSE: dessert

    Everything you enjoy—food, wine, and beverages—contributes to the minimum (excluding gift cards, take-out, or retail items). If the total does not reach the minimum, the difference is applied as a room fee.

    This option requires a short contract and credit card authorization to confirm the reservation.

    Dietary Restrictions & Allergies

    Because most of the meal is served family-style, please share any food allergies or dietary restrictions with us at least three days prior to your reservation. Guests with dietary needs will receive substitutions for dishes that don’t innately meet their needs, while the rest of the table enjoys the menu as-is. We’re always happy to accommodate thoughtfully.

  • A corkage fee of $30 per bottle applies to wines brought in from outside our list.
