Benvenuti a Cafe Lumina

We're on North Main in the heart of the Ashland Plaza, steps from Lithia Park, with ample space inside and outside by the creek.

The cooking comes from le ricette della nonna — homemade Italian food made with 100% organic ingredients and zero seed oils. The menu changes with the seasons, so there's usually something new alongside the regulars.

Order at the counter, find a seat, and stay a while over an espresso, a Lithia Spritz, or a glass of Italian wine. We don't take reservations, but we can generally fit groups of six or more, and we host private events too.

“Food, location, and restaurant vibes inside and outside on the river are all fantastic! We had the veggie frittata and grilled polenta, which were both delicious. My espresso was wonderful…”

“I loved the Bohemian feel to this mostly Italian restaurant. Fresh gnocchi every lunchtime! There's outside seating that overlooks the river… Relaxing music played.”
