Italian restaurant · Asheville

"The stunning renovation of the iconic but long-neglected 98-year-old Flat Iron Building into the dazzling Flat Iron Hotel in the heart of downtown Asheville required a statement restaurant, and Luminosa confidently cleared the bar. Led by local culinary luminary Graham House as executive chef and his chef de cuisine Sean McMullen, the pair make the most of their dream-come-true kitchen equipped with a wood-burning oven and live fire grill. Nearly every item on the rustic Italian menu is touched by one or both – grilled, charred, smoked, or buried in embers. Case in point: the grilled little gem salad, fire-roasted half chicken, trout with smoked roe crème fraiche, and charred baby carrots. Standouts are the lemon pizza and housemade fresh pastas." - Kay West
