Our Story
We cook the way Italian families have always cooked — slowly, with few ingredients and no shortcuts. The pasta is rolled by hand each morning, the ragù simmers all day, and the menu follows the season rather than the calendar.
What is modern is the room, the plating and the pacing: warm, unhurried, and made for the evenings that matter.
Signature Dishes
Pasta
Fresh handmade pasta, black truffle, Parmigiano Reggiano and brown butter.
Antipasti
Creamy burrata, seasonal tomatoes, basil oil and aged balsamic.
Primi
Carnaroli rice, wild mushrooms, Parmigiano and herbs.
Secondi
Mediterranean sea bass, roasted vegetables and lemon butter.
Dolci
Mascarpone, espresso, cocoa and dark chocolate.
The Experience
Forty-eight seats, an open pasta counter and a cellar you can walk through. Come for an hour; most guests stay for three.
Meet the Chef
Executive Chef & Partner
“If a dish needs more than five ingredients to be beautiful, I have made a mistake somewhere.”
Alessandro grew up in a family trattoria outside Bologna, learning pasta from his grandmother before training in Milan and Copenhagen. He returned to Italian cooking for one reason: restraint.
At LUMERA he keeps the tradition intact and lets the season decide the rest — hand-rolled pasta every morning, produce from growers he knows by name, and plating that stays out of the food's way.

“The truffle tagliatelle is the best plate of pasta I have eaten outside of Italy. Everything about the evening felt considered — the light, the pacing, the wine list.”
Élodie Marchand
Anniversary dinner
“We booked for my mother's seventieth and they treated our table like family. Service was warm and quietly precise, never stiff.”
Daniel Okafor
Family celebration
“A room that makes you want to stay for a third glass. The sommelier found us a Nebbiolo we're still talking about weeks later.”
Sofia Lindqvist
Date night
“Branzino cooked perfectly, burrata that tasted like it arrived that morning, and a tiramisù worth the walk home.”
Marcus Reid
Dinner for two
