- PPaulAsheville / Western North Carolina •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoExcellent first experience at Luminosa. David was attentive and knew the menu inside and out. Only hiccup--and we didn't really care that much--was that the first course came out well before our first round of drinks arrived. But those bone marrow tots were piping hot and delicious, and we'd rather have tots hot and ready than lingering on the line... Lemon pizza second course was quite good--plenty for 4 to share. Entrees were really well prepared: the half chicken was as good as advertised by David, the coppa steaks were **outstanding**, and the skirt was perfectly cooked. We also had gnocchi, fusilli, polenta, kohlrabi and spinach--all plentiful to share and well executed. Everything was hot when it hit the table, which is vital for a great meal. The staff was on point, and there was good support on service. Desserts have to be next level to really stand out during a great meal, but the honeycomb concoction with the semi-freddo was inventive and delicious. This particular meal was one of just a handful I can recall here in Asheville where the $130/person/all-in was *really* worth it. But it was, and we'll be back.More infoLuminosaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Asheville•4.8

- JJanSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThis restaurant never disappoints. I hesitate to write a glowing review for fear we’ll never get a table again. It’s always been packed lately. But that would not be fair to the owners and the staff, especially the chef who consistently turns out dishes like the ones we ate this evening, delectable scallops and a thick pork chop, both juicy and tender. I’d like to try the other salads, but might never because the blue cheese salad is just that good.More infoGlass Onion - Weaverville, NCPrice: Expensive• Italian• Asheville•4.9
- AandrewVIPGreensboro / Winston Salem / Highpoint •16 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoA gem downtown- staff wonderful [couple ahead of us had no reservation but they made quick accommodations to seat them] - food was 5-star. Oysters superb- and bread appetizer with salsa verde wonderful- the gnocchi was also enough to share. Entrees were also large portioned- seafood pasta, cioppino, was the best I've had- A must if in town, a habit for locals.More infoModesto TrattoriaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Asheville•4.7
- SStephanieWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on 20 Sept 2024This was a girls weekend for us and we enjoyed the setting and location of District 42. We didn’t realize it was at a hotel and never once felt like we were in a hotel. Set in the middle of the city it was fun to have our first evening there!More infoDistrict 42Price: Moderate• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service• Asheville•4.1
