The room

One hearth,
one seating at a time

Lume began as a Sunday supper for twelve in a warehouse on Main. The oak fire we cooked over then is the same fire we cook over now, moved brick by brick into a room with plaster walls, brass sconces and no music loud enough to make you lean in.

The kitchen is open. The pass is at eye level. If you sit at the bar you will watch every plate leave, and the cooks will tell you what is on it.

“The pasta is rolled at eight, the fire is lit at ten, and the first plate leaves the pass at five fifteen. Everything between those three times is just paying attention.”

From the kitchen

The cellar

Poured by the glass,
even the good ones

Two hundred labels, most of them Italian, most of them from growers who farm their own fruit. Nothing on the list is there because a distributor asked nicely. Ask for the sommelier and say what you usually drink.
