About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Romantic
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.

    Our server, Dmitri, was personable, knowledgeable and helpful. The food was innovative and delicious. My personal preference would have been for more of an Italian ambience (music, e.g.) but it's clear Luminosa is seeking to appeal to a young, hip clientele. My wife and I had a delightful dinner experience and would readily recommend this eatery to others.

    Staff was very attentive and friendly. It was our first time and the waiter took the time to explain the restaurant and menu. Received table at time of reservation. Food was very good and arrived quickly after ordering. We ordered multiple pasta dishes and shared with our dinner group.
