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.

    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.

    This was our first visit and we loved it! The gnocchi were sublime! Our waiter was attentive and even asked the chef a question we had about the food prep! Will definitely eat here again next time we are in Asheville!
