The owner

"If we don't light the candles ourselves, it's not Lume."

Lume opened on East Atlantic to do one thing well: a short Italian menu, pulled from the kitchens we grew up in, and served the way our grandmother would have served it — slower, warmer, with real candles on every table. Thank you for coming. If we didn't get it right, tell us before you leave. We'll fix it.
