About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • 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.

    The service was impeccable! As good as some top end restaurants in NYC! Could not believe how good they all were. The food was good. a bit too much garlic for a garlic lover. The food was an interesting combination. presented well. tasty.

    Fabulous meal and amazing service! We had a wonderful meal at Luminosa. Everything was so tasty- from the cocktails to olives, lemon pizza, flavorful and tender pork and delicious rigatoni and sides. Our server was attentive, helpful and friendly- even offering tips on how to recreate one of the dishes at home. Our daughter asked if we could eat there again the next night. A true Asheville gem-highly recommended!

    I live downtown at the Grove arcade in Asheville and are you frequent this restaurant. This is because not only in my opinion is the food a five star, the staff is also a five star.

    I tried this restaurant for the first time for Easter Sunday Brunch on 4-20. A great variety on the menu, pricing is fair, and excellent service from the staff. Francisco was a very pleasant waiter. The only 4 was for the cut of side bacon. Too thin for a $6 side, but this is minor. Overall, this is a great restaurant, with a rooftop bar and coffee shop, well worth the views while you wait for your table on the 9th floor. I will return for dinner! Check out the Flat Iron Hotel as well, it's new to downtown Asheville.

    We went for Easter brunch and sat outside, the weather was beautiful and so was the ambiance! The food was AMAZING. The cinnamon roll is the best I’ve ever had
