Here’s a bit of the Bold Life story about Asheville restauranteur Reza Setayesh’s new pizza joint in Fairview called Piazza:
Setayesh is once again looking to hit a home run with Piazza, his new casual yet high quality Italian eatery in Fairview. The restaurant opened December 2nd, occupying a bit of space in the Eastwood Village that has already seen the demise of other restaurants. Manager Gabriel Dickinson says that since Setayesh lives in Fairview, he has had the opportunity to gauge what area residents need versus what they don’t.
“He saw where the previous places failed,” says Dickinson, “and felt like what this area needed was basically a friendly environment with good food. Out here, people are looking for a neighborhood restaurant.”
Piazza, says Dickinson, serves “simple, good food.” Menu options are hearty and familiar — but fit for foodies. Appetizers are served family style and include steamed mussels and classic salads like Greek and Caesar. Italian subs and wraps are all under $7 — save the Kobe burger on a homemade roll that won’t exactly break the bank at $8.99.
