Asheville, NC 28801
Awarded both a Michelin Green Star and Bib Gourmand, Luminosa brings a hyperlocal lens to Italian cuisine; where Appalachian ingredients meet Italian technique. Located inside The Flat Iron Hotel in downtown Asheville, the restaurant celebrates the region’s farmers, foragers, and makers through an ever-evolving, seasonally driven menu. The wood-burning oven serves as Luminosa’s heart, infusing handmade pastas, rustic pizzas, and locally sourced vegetables with a touch of fire. Praised by Travel + Leisure for delivering “bold flavors, strong ties to the local community, and a menu that lives up to its Appalachian claims,” Luminosa is both a culinary destination and a reflection of Asheville’s creative spirit. The warm, wood-forward space evokes a modern tavern, complemented by a beverage program that highlights local brewery collaborations, craft cocktails, and a thoughtful wine list grounded in place.
