The Bistro was very delicious! We had an early dinner before our Candlelight tour of Biltmore House. The Burrata was a great appetizer, with pesto and focaccia. My husband and I both got the Filet Mignon and it was one of the best we’ve ever had! Followed by the flourless chocolate cake to share. Definitely recommend this spot on the Biltmore Estate!

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.
