About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Innovative
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, David, treated us like royalty! So knowledgeable about the menu offerings, wine and cocktails. Personable, patient and fun, he helped us with our selections which included the bread service, the bone marrow tater tots, the lemon ricotta pizza, the rigatoni, the gnocchi, and the lions mane mushrooms.

    Our first experience at Luminosa was exceptional, we started with delicious cocktails at the rooftop bar then greeted by welcoming staff. The restaurant was a beautiful renovated building in downtown Asheville, our server David was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive, the dishes were all beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, our favorite was the radish salad and the trout, absolutely will return

    Everything about our meal was wonderful, from the service and vibe to the artistry behind every dish! My husband and I shared the Bone Marrow Tater Tots, the Weed Salad, the Triangotini, the Wood Fired Lion’s Mane Mushroom, and the Baby Leeks. Everything was absolutely perfect. Truly an amazing culinary experience!

    Went there the first time with friends from out of town. When people come to visit you always want to share a special place with them and Luminosa didn't disappoint. The hostess was very warm and friendly. The waiter was friendly and very informative about the food and wine. I couldn't think of anything I would have changed about the evening. My family will absolutely be back.
