16 Hottest Restaurants in Asheville Right Now, June 2024
"“Hot Buns & Tasty Meats” was the slogan on Zella’s Deli window that lured downtown Asheville pedestrians into the Northeast-inspired sandwich shop opened in April 2022. Mikey’s Meatball, Johnny’s Italian, Reubens, corn beef on rye, and egg sandwiches on a kaiser roll built a following. Two years in, Zella’s moved to a more expansive space in Swannanoa, expanded the sandwich board, and added Sunday brunch and dinner service, Thursday through Sunday, from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Find comfort Italian specialties like pork saltimbocca, chicken parm, spaghetti and meatballs, and fettuccini Alfredo, plus Italian Fish Fry Friday, Prime Rib Saturday and Family Lasagna Sunday." - Kay West
