Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Fumo delights with "fantastic quality" Italian cicchetti and "exceptional" service, making it an ideal pre-theatre venue next to the Coliseum. The vibrant atmosphere complements the "great value" tapas-style dishes and "excellent cocktail/wine list." While service can vary, the "ambience and food" remain consistently charming.

Great option for a pre-theatre meal, especially when it’s in the Coliseum which is right next door. Love the small plate idea as you can try more of their delicious food

Excellent service and food. Good menu choices. Served fresh and hot as soon as cooked. Lovely ambience and extremely fried fly and professional staff. The only drawback, hence the overall four starting, was the wine prices. For a pre theatre lunch we wanted a house wine at a reasonable price. Accepting rising costs, the cheapest wine was£39.50 a bottle. The food lends itself perfectly to enjoy with wine but the wine ( which we had so as not to spoil the occasion) was simply too expensive. We highly recommend the restaurant but would have to add a caveat regarding the wine prices. Thank you.

Great before theatre show location. Excellent cocktail/wine list. The bruschetta was delicious. Tomatoes were yummy. Caprese salad was very good. Lasagne and Spaghetti Carbonara were hot, fresh and generous portions. Everything is made fresh so brought to your table immediately. Dark Chocolate Bombe for dessert was perfect.

Lovely service albeit a bit slow. The small plate concept was not clear when we booked. Food was tasty but the concept of sharing plates doesn't work so well for pasta dishes..or for the wallet. Drinks are pricey too - and the tiny bottles of Coke for the price charged are just silly. Overall enjoyed the food, just not the value for money.
