Crusco occupies a converted warehouse on Depot Street in Asheville's River Arts District, an area better known for galleries and studios than fine dining. The space has been updated into a warm, refined room while keeping traces of its industrial past.
The kitchen builds its menu around the seasons and relationships with local growers and producers, favoring simple dishes and restrained execution meant to let quality ingredients lead. The bar runs modern takes on classic cocktails alongside a rotating, food-friendly wine list and a few non-alcoholic options.
Crusco was named an Eater Best New Restaurant and has also been covered by The Infatuation. Diners consistently point to the locally sourced ingredients, and the restaurant has drawn a following as something of a neighborhood favorite in the River Arts District.
