Luminosa

Luminosa is an upper-upscale restaurant blending hyperlocal Appalachian influences with Italian cuisine. Their oft-changing menu, led by Executive Chef Graham House and Chef de Cuisine Sean McMullen, features handmade pizzas, house-made pastas, and locally sourced vegetables, all enhanced by a wood-burning oven. The beverage program includes local taps from Asheville's sprawling brewery scene and a variety of cocktails and wines. The cozy, wood-centric interior evokes an old-country richness, decked with hand portraits of famous Ashevillians of the past. With loving service by the Indigo Road Hospitality Group, and a paired rooftop bar with 360 degrees of downtown-to-Blue-Ridge skylines, Luminosa is no place to miss.
