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.

    This is the best of the best when it comes to customer satisfaction. An incredible service for our 6th anniversary! They even went as far as to give us free flowers by our own choice and a sweet card, the manager also went out of her way to pick up a custom local piece of art and gift it to us. We are so grateful for Luminosa and the amazing staff.

    Fantastic experience. Celebrating wife's birthday with a Sunday brunch. Ronny greeted us with a warm welcome and Happy Birthday. Then Felix provided amazing and attentive service. Food and drinks were delicious. Tasty cinnamon roll, breakfast pizza, and steak and eggs accompanied by perfect mimosas. Birthday card signed by staff was a nice touch. Highly recommend.

    As locals, Luminosa is in our regular rotation and for good reason. Since the day they opened I’ve found them to be hitting on all cylinders each and every visit. This is not by luck or accident, this is simply a very well run operation! Enjoy!!!

    This is excellent, thoughtful food at prices to match. The high points are the creative use of greens and legumes. Some food a bit over-salted, to the extent of hiding, not highlighting, flavor. Cocktails were provocative variants on standards. We'd go back, if we lived here.

    For me I felt the entrees was overpriced and the portion sizes were too small. But on the positive, the Hive Mind cocktail, which I learned was an original creation of their own bartender, was out of this world amazing! Also, as someone who frequents upscale Asheville restaurants on a biweekly basis, they have the most knowledgeable and friendly server I've seen yet, Fransisco. I think I will go back but instead of getting an appetizer, entree, and a side I think I will order a pizza and cocktail.

    We had rigatoni and chicken. Both delicious. Then hazelnut chocolate cake with orange marmalade made in house with Chantilly cream. Great! I’d go again and try the gnocchi, cacio & pepe and also the pizzas. The rice pudding dessert also sounded interesting. Wonderful service.
