Luminosa

Luminosa is located at the recently reopened Flatiron Hotel, originally built in 1926. It's an elegant space, with an L-shaped marble bar counter and a dining room that unfolds into several areas with an open kitchen, brass fixtures, black leather seating, and windows dressed with cafe curtains.Executive Chef Graham House and his team strive for zero-waste, butchering whole cows in-house, and sourcing from local farmers' markets. Theirs is a crowd-pleasing menu of wood-fired pizza (perhaps topped with lemon, smoked mozzarella and arugula), impressive pastas (bucatini with summer squash, ricotta salata, chili breadcrumb); and hearty main items like bone-in pork chop with cherry mostarda. Basil poundcake with grilled peaches and honey caramel seals the deal.
