Where modern-Appalachian meets Italian-inspiration, Luminosa is bringing a hyperlocal lens to Italian cuisine, utilizing regional purveyors and local team member expertise to shape and curate the ever-evolving, seasonally driven offerings. Nestled within The Flat Iron Hotel, a historic boutique hotel in Asheville, North Carolina, Luminosa's carefully designed space radiates a welcoming tavern ambiance. Our culinary heart is a wood-burning oven, infusing a "touch of fire" into handmade pizzas, house-made pastas, and locally sourced vegetables. In homage to Asheville's renowned brewery scene, Luminosa's beverage program features local brews, including an exclusive collaboration, alongside a diverse selection of cocktails and wines.

    Have been to brunch twice and Thanksgiving dinner tonight. Service so warm and accommodating. Turducken pasta was superb and a fun play on words. Pork chops fabulous and trout well prepared and enormous. We got side of a vegetable gratin that was so smooth and velvety. I will get more pasta next time! Tiramisu yummy.. mocktails were yummy too.

    I think it's easy to say that Luminosa is without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Asheville (if not the best), both in terms of food and service. Graham House is completely on top of his game - every bite is simply perfect.

    Amazing - everyone from reservations, front of house to the wait staff was fantastic. The food and wine was perfect. The waiter’s (Dimitri) suggestions were perfect. Mortadello pizza, bokchoy, gnocchi and rigatoni were all awesome. If I had to give one piece of constructive criticism, my husband’s risotto was little bland. Still, five stars across the board!

    Our birthday celebration meal was so perfect! Our food was delicious- Margherita pizza with the thinnest crispy crust, the green weeds salad we shared, and the little Carmelo pasta was a real treat with the added balsamic addition. All of the pasta, made in house, was al dente with perfect amounts of sauce. But the staff at Luminosa was, as always, exemplary in their attentiveness, knowledge of the menu items, and kindness. They make this wonderfully historic space worth coming often, which I have! We even got a tour of the newly opened red ribbon space - thank you Ace, Sara Charles and Amy.
