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.

    Our second time eating at Luminosa and it was just as good this round. Be sure to get an order of the tater tots, they’re phenomenal. We opted for pizza over pasta this trip and it was great. Perfect cook on the crust and mortadella and broccoli made for a different take on a pie versus more traditional toppings. Can’t wait till our next trip up the mountain to grab dinner here.

    10/10 everything was perfect. The atmosphere, the staff, and the location were a nice bonus to accompany how incredible the food was. The pasta was my favorite (Caramelle) ! Congrats to Graham and his team!
