About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • 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.

    Luminosa is my go to restaurant when I want to celebrate someone special. The food is delicious and the service is the best! I’ve gone with friends to celebrate a birthday on separate occasions and they always make her feel special which was the whole point of going out! In addition to creative cocktails and flavorful food, they presented her with fresh flowers and a card thoughtfully signed by the staff. Fantastic restaurant with meaningful little touches!

    So great to be able to turn one of my NYC foodie friends onto my favorite local restaurant! And, as always, Luminosa didn't disappoint. From flawless service to an excellent bar program, to stunning food, absolutely everything impressed - as it always does. Kudos to y'all for setting such a high bar and managing to consistently top it!

    We had a phenomenal dinner at Luminosa! Our server Rob was awesome and did a fabulous job helping us select dishes to share so we could get all the tastes! We had the weed salad, beef carpaccio, bone marrow tater tots, KC strip steak and 2 pastas along with the charred baby zucchini…all were incredible! We elected to take home some of the best tiramisu ever! Can’t wait to come back!

    Food and service excellent. Waitstaff knowledgeable and friendly and helpful. Food fun to experience. Only criticism - seated small tables with a large, noisy group in small space. Sort of spoiled the evening for what we hoped would be a special evening.

    This is our first time to Luminosa! The service is great! The meals we ordered are very good except the duck breast entree which is very chewy and we had to spit out every single piece we ate at the end. Whoever cooked this duck breast hopefully could improve the skill and make this dish delicious for the future customers!!
