The food itself was by far a 10/10. I would recommend the trout dip and the Asheville pizza, featuring local hot honey!

I would recommend the Olive of My Eye and Lemon Drop martini.

We had a reservation to dine outside so we could enjoy the sunset but unfortunately the forecast for thunderstorms canceled our plans. It ended up not raining but all good. We had an enjoyable dinner. The pizza was very good. The prosciutto was quite salty but the flavors balanced each other nicely. The roasted cauliflower was delicious as it had a lemon sauce with raisins and a cool cucumber like lite green sauce. We took pics outside with the beautiful mountain scenery. It was a very nice dinner. We were celebrating one my friend's birthdays too. She was given a friend cannoli dessert. We took it to go since we were full as a tick! It was a fun night filled with great food and laughter.

This place is on an intermediate side street on the hill (the map marker I looked at made this hard…read moreto tell) and is a small location inside with more exterior seating, which will work for many but not all days in Asheville. It's a small pizza and side dish menu, but it looked to be of enough quality to be worth spending an evening in Asheville on. I took a recommendation on a cabbage salad with black garlic and walnuts. It was quite mouthwatering and was a novel flavor combination for me. Now I need to go and buy some black garlic. For a pizza I went with an arrabiata, which was basically a cheese pizza with calabrian chili and a little extra cheese. It was quite indulgent, and also garlicky, with a nice charred crust that flopped in the hand and was a bit damp towards the center (generally a marker of quality). I enjoyed it enough that I didn't wish I was somewhere else, which in Asheville is saying something, and I liked the innovation on the menu. And surprisingly, I can't recall having been to any other high-end Neapolitan-ish pizzas in Asheville, so maybe this is the one that will stick.

The salad was big - mostly chopped lettuce (love that it was chopped already) topped with some cheese, olives, green peppers and tomato slices. I don't eat my salads soaked in dressing so there was enough dressing for me but it felt like the dressing cup wasn't very full if you do like a wet salad. Breadsticks were good and airy. Lots of cheese on top. I preferred the pizza over the breadsticks over the 2 visits I had 3 types of slices. For speciality slices they top a slice of cheese with the toppings then bake it so the toppings aren't baked down into the cheese. Still good. When I lived here years ago, we used this spot as a quick bite when we were out brewery hopping or pre gaming for a show. Huge inside with plenty of seating and some games. Staff is friendly and service is quick!

The salad was a nice sized and covered in mozzarella cheese, honestly it could have had a little less cheese on it but each their own. The breadsticks, i thought were garli but its juat dough served with marinara sauce. The slice lacked flavor al together. Service, i waited at the counter for about 5 minutes before someone was off the phone and took my order. Food came pretty quickly, the guy behind the counter one of the guys was wearing a tank top, honestly that should not be allowed for health reasons. Maybe after a few beers things would taste different but like i said before each their own.

I made note as those are the places I want to dine while in Asheville. Pizza is ordered at the counter and brought to your table. They have inside and outside seating although I am not sure if the patio was open while I was there. Personal sized pizzas were all gluten free so to get regular crust I had to order by the slice. Next time I will just order a large. Ordering by the slice is a nice option as you can try a few different types of pizza. I got to try the Hawaiian and the White. Both were delicious. Beverages were just cans or bottled water as water wasn't potable when I was there. I'm sure there are more options now as Asheville water is now drinkable. If you are looking for great pizza in Downtown Asheville, check out Manicomio.

Almost every beer on the menu is a split batch fermented with two different yeast strains to showcase the resulting differences. It's a great concept, even if you're not into brewing. In terms of the food, it seems like the really leaned into providing something good, well-balanced, and sometimes takes advantage of the yeast and beer being cultivated on site. I had a house salad and some dilly beans for lunch. The house salad was fresh and extremely well balanced. I'm glad they had something vegetable centric available. The dilly beans were good, but quite a bit for a single human. They're probably the type of thing you would want to split among friends. I actually showed up for an event in the evening where they served pizza using dough fermented with one of their yeast strains. That was truly excellent. Nicely balanced, not over the top, with a deeply flavorful crust. If you're in Asheville, I would consider this a must visit destination.

We arrived during the rush of Saturday night dinner but found a parking space and then lucked out…read morewhen a big family was leaving their large table. Mrs. K. and I took the two seats at the end and I walked up to the bar to order drinks and dinner. A pint of the "American Style Lager" for me and their "Spicy!" ginger beer that Mrs. K. said was good but not all that spicy. Less than ten minutes later, my chicken wings arrived. They sell them as "a pound" which was good because these were very small wings. Small, but tasty in a sweet/spicy sauce and I ate nearly all of them while slowly sipping that very crushable beer. When it was done, back into the Sprinter van and off to figure out where we're parking for the night. I had tried to make a reservation on their RV parking app but they're booked two or three weeks out! Note: The restrooms are upstairs and they have an elevator.

I almost ruined my friends' wedding weekend because I decided that walking half a mile to dinner…read moreimmediately after a tornado warning was somehow a better idea than calling an Uber. So we walked into Luminosa underdressed, absolutely soaking wet, and looking like we had just been rescued from a shipwreck. This is a really nice restaurant, so at this point I was pretty convinced either we weren't getting seated or my friends were going to spend the rest of their marriage talking about the dinner I ruined. I explained the situation to the staff and they could not have handled it better. No judgment, no making us feel out of place, nothing but an insane level of hospitality from the second we walked in. They even sent out a few dishes on the house. Our server Riley was phenomenal. Riley knew the menu inside and out, gave us all the information we needed without overexplaining everything, and never steered us wrong once. We basically put our dinner in Riley's hands, and that was probably the biggest reason the meal turned out as well as it did. And the food was fucking incredible. Not "we're drunk on a wedding weekend and everything tastes good" incredible. Every single one of us said it was one of the best meals we've ever had. And I don't say that because my culinary experience is limited to Applebee's and the Cheesecake Factory. I went to probably half the restaurants on the Michelin Guide while I was in Asheville, live in Atlanta where I've eaten at plenty of Michelin-recognized restaurants, and have been fortunate enough to eat at Michelin restaurants outside the US. Luminosa was still one of the best meals I've had anywhere. I walked in thinking I had completely screwed up dinner and walked out looking like a genius for picking the restaurant. I will be taking full credit for that and giving none to the tornado or Riley.

Really good meal…read more For starters we had the carpaccio and the bread service. Loved the garlic knots in there! For the main, we had the chef cut (Denver steak), charred cabbage and pasta. I can't remember what type of pasta it was but I really enjoyed the flavors, however that and the steak came out cold. The cabbage was absolutely the highlight. I still dream of this dish - I can't believe how delicious it was! For dessert we had the panna cotta and pistachio gelato. The panna cotta was FANTASTIC, I could eat 2 by myself. The pistachio gelato was interesting... the texture was great but it was incredibly savory which I wasn't expecting. The service was phenomenal. I do think that instead of bringing everything out at once, the dishes should come out when they're done so that the temperature doesn't change as it's waiting for other dishes. Would come back!
