    Our second time at Fumo. Conveniently located across the street from The Duke of York theatre we decided on a late night dinner after an excellent performance of Shirley Valentine. We shared five dishes: chargrilled avocado, Sicilian Arancini, Calamari, King scallops and Truffle ravioli. Just perfect and excellent. Accompanied by a bottle of Gavi Di Gavi. Very good attentive service. Prices are very reasonable.

    Lovely restaurant great food bit confusing the ordering as wasn’t aware it was tapas! We were a group of 5 so we were overcrowded where seated so it wasn’t easy with all the dishes on table. Good service I’d give it another try if I’m in London again..

    It was a really nice looking restaurant (the entrance has a strange odour btw) the food is made to share but it is expensive according to the size of them (really small) it was tasty tho. The position of the tables are a bit uncomfortable due to they are so close to each other and you can’t talk to you partner as it also gets so noisy in there. The staff was lovely and the food arrives quickly. But so expensive

    A mixed dish, as it were... avocados not really ripe, same with tomatoes, which basically ruined all our salad dishes. But also the most delicious seabass fillet I have ever tasted! And the calamari rather undercooked...delightful waiters, friendly and helpful. I would go back and order different dishes.

    The food was amazing, service was really good, very attentive and happy to help. I actually asked my girlfriend to marry me and upon her saying yes got a glass of champagne and a little dessert saying congratulations. Will be our special engagement place every year now. Really enjoyed our time there.

    We were at a table next to the display window which had fish in ice on display making our experience rather chilly for being indoors. For those not familiar with the format it is a good idea to make your order in two/three stages - course by course as otherwise the starters and mains (sharing plates throughout) may arrive at the same time. If the starter is cold and the main hot this means you have to eat them in reverse order! That said the food is excellent and very varied.

    The food was amazing, as always! I’ve been there a couple of times but this time was the first one for lunch. I have to say that the atmosphere is not the same AT ALL. It was quite empty, a bit too quiet and the waiters were a bit lost and slow when there were only 5 tables occupied for the whole restaurant… would recommend to go for dinner and not lunch.

    Cosy and nice restaurant. As we sat down we were informed that the idea is to share the plates, and that we should order 4-5 plates for 2 persons. Good food, the melanzane was amazing.

    Fumo is a bright, vibrant restaurant with a great food concept - Italian cicchetti which is tapas style small plates to share. Problem is the plates are very small and very expensive for what you get. The meat and seafood is particularly poor value, over £20 for a piece of meat which would barely class as a portion, and presented without any garnish or accompaniment. The food itself was of average quality, and the presentation was poor. Another example was the Bruschetta - 1 slice of dry toast with a few cherry tomatoes tossed on top.. no seasoning, no oil, no garlic, in fact none of the basic ingredients which would allow it to be called a bruschetta. The service was also poor - the restaurant was very busy when we were there but we had to wait nearly an hour to order any food or drink and only did then after asking 2 different people to take our order. All in all it wasn't a great experience and there are plenty of way better Italian restaurants in the area.

    Long wait getting food and asked 3 times for the bill ( about 25 mins ) Food not correct ( wife does not like bell peppers so ordered a dish that did not mention them and it came up covered in them) for all they know she could have an allergy, the dish was sent back and an apology was sent out and service removed

    Service was slow and inconsistent. Was our second visit here. First time was great, this time very disappointing. Wait staff blamed kitchen, and plates were bland or off character at times.
