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.

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
