Best Romantic Restaurants in Flat Rock

We stumbled on to this little intimate Italian restaurant in Hendersonville quite by accident. Originally hoped to get into another restaurant nearby but it was booked. So we "settled" for Verri's. Wow, were we lucky. The food was extraordinary. My wife predicted it would be good when the side salads (we ordered Caesar salad) and bread were served. She ordered ravioli with cheese and walnuts and I had chicken piccata. Her pasta was rich and creamy; my entree served over penne pasta was just right with lemon and capers. One modest warning: there's not much parking. We ate early because we were heading into Asheville for an event, but I imagine this could be a challenge later in the evening.

This was one of their Dicken’s Dinners. It was a fixed priced, four course dinner with a gentleman dressed in period clothes reading an abridged version of the Christmas Carol. It was an enchanting evening that put us in the Christmas spirit We have eaten here many times and it always warrants a five star rating in all categories, This evening’s experience was at least 5 stars as well.

Absolutely outstanding. Service was great. Food was prepared and presented beautifully. A great experience all around. I highly recommend. Cocktails were great. Wine list was on the smaller side but the staff understood the wines and made sure we had the proper selections to optimally enjoy our entrees. Desserts are out of this world. We had a medium size group and were the last patrons on a Tuesday night. Staff was kind and professional right up to the end. This place has no equal in Western North Carolina, truly a hidden gem in Hendersonville and well worth the trip.

It was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The server was attentive without hovering. The food was fantastic with large portions.
