News and Events

Located just a few minutes' drive from a wealth of gourmet culinary dining expereinces, Fox Run Preserve is fortuitously settled in an ideal location for epicurean tastes. It might surprise you that Hendersonville, with its quaint downtown nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, offers such an exciting panoply of world and regional cuisine. Of course, even among diverse choices, the locals still have their favorites, and Mezzaluna, located in historic downtown Hendersonville, ranks among the top of the list.

Mezzaluna Pizza Company, apart from having delicious food, is marked by its contrasting environment with a historic building that acts as a unique backdrop to a fun-filled and laid-back atmosphere. The restaurant has embraced this intersection between classic and modern tastes with artistic details displayed throughout the dining area, most notably the custom interpretive mosaic of Van Gogh's "Starry Night." Mezzaluna's open kitchen adds energy to its warm ambiance as patrons can watch their orders being prepared.

While atmosphere and culinary expertise are important to any restaurant, it's the specialty menu items that really make Mezzaluna worth a visit. Echoing the balance of innovation and classics in decor, their menu offers a temptingly wide selection of comfort food. For starters, try the wood oven roasted oyster topped off with a parmesan regianno cream sauce and a crumb crust. For the main course, try what has made Mezzaluna a local favorite: the restaurant offers some unique and tasty combinations for brick oven pizza, including one topped with roasted potato, goat cheese and arugula and another with sausage, mushrooms, and spinach. Of course, restaurant-goers are also encouraged to build their own from an assortment of fresh toppings. If pasta sounds enticing, make sure not to pass up Mezzaluna's fettuccine; with asparagus, pine nuts, and crisp pancetta in a parmesean cream sauce, it is well worth an evening out. Creative full course entrees include prosciuto-wrapped salmon and wood oven roasted chicken. To wash it all down, select one of more than fifty beers served on tap.

And for those who want superb food but also want a quiet night, Mezzaluna also offers carryout. To order, call (828) 687-6575. The restaurant is located at 226 N. Main Street. Click here for directions from Fox Run Preserve to Mezzaluna.
