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.

One of our most pleasurable dining experiences in a while. The small plate (similar to Tapas) selection was fantastic. My wife and I selected 5 items and a dessert which were all easily sharable. The service was fantastic. Our server took the time to explain the various items on the menu and answered our questions. The bartender came to our table to explain a drink variation my wife was interested in and created a signature drink on the spot. We felt very satisfied by the time we were done and was pleasantly surprised when we received the bill and saw how reasonable it was. We attended a comedy show at the Orange Peel which was so convenient to Ukiah. We don't live in Asheville, but we will surely return here the next time we are in town.
