    Best meal we have had in a long time! We had crab cake Caesar, pizza, and chocolate souffle and we ate every crumb. Portions were huuuuge! Everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious and hearty. The menu was more extensive than the one online. All the pizzas sounded great. Prices were extremely reasonable, service was friendly and helpful and no pressure to order wine/drinks, despite an extensive selection. The decor and ambience reminded us of a contemporary restaurant we visited in Rome. We waddled out with a food buzz.

    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.
