The multi-award winning San Carlo restaurant group is excited to announce the launch of a brand new restaurant, Fumo, in Covent Garden, London.

The new 130 cover restaurant, which will be open seven days a week, offers all day dining and has the same chic and sleek design as the other restaurants, with Fumo featuring a solid marble feature bar.
The cuisine represents local specialities from the varying Italian regions and includes dishes such as Tagliolini Lobster, Cod Vicentina - Venetian style cod, Homemade Gnocchi Truffle (crispy gnocchi with cheese fondue with truffle) and Guazzetto di Cozze e Vongole (mussels and clams with tomato sauce, chilli and white wine) and Tuna Tartare made at your table with the best Sicillian tuna.
In the kitchen will be a brigade of 15 chefs from all over Italy, guided by San Carlo executive chefs Filippo Pagani and Franco Bellamusto, as well as Chef Consigliere Aldo Zilli.

ambience food
Top quality food, served with Italian panache, in a lovely, light and airy dining room, in the middle of Covent Garden.
The menu had me in a tizz.
Burrata with Parma ham and black truffle (£9.95) was another dish of uncomplicated elegance.
Risotto with lobster and black truffle (£15.95) was not a recommendation from the Maitre d' and my only disappointment.
Prawn and monkfish spiedino (£9.95) and Ribeye with chili, garlic and sweet potatoes were both excellent dishes, though not on a par with the tuna, ravioli and burrata.
Fumo Covent Garden review - West London Living
menu ambience food
The Distefano family’s multi award-winning restaurant group opened Fumo Covent Garden, their third London restaurant, this autumn.
The 130-cover restaurant boasts a sleek design with a solid marble bar, a cicchetti (Venetian small plates) menu using seasonal ingredients – mostly sourced direct from produce markets in Milan, and a fab Italian wine list to match.
Menu advisor Aldo Zilli proclaimed his £2 million restaurant ‘the most beautiful in London’.
Attentive, confident Italian staff let us know that the cicchetti dishes were medium-sized so we ordered five, which proved plenty: fillet of beef medallions (which arrived perfectly rare as requested; £13.95); queen scallops (£10.95); pumpkin-stuffed saffron risotto with peppers, crispy parmesan and black truffles (£11.95); spinach and ricotta ravioli (£8.95); and grilled aubergine with mint chilli, garlic and buffalo mozzarella (£8.95).
It was a play-it-safe menu – the aubergine salad with its piquant dressing was the most interesting; the risotto was slightly overpowered by the saffron; and the ravioli was a little bland.

Owners, the Distefano family pride themselves in providing an authentic Italian experience across all of their restaurants; everything from the design, the staff to the wine list - which is expertly matched to the food, has been conceived with the traditions of Italy in mind.
Commenting on the new opening Managing Director Marcello said: “We’re excited to bring Fumo, a modern concept in Italian dining, to St Martin’s Lane, our existing London restaurants Signor Sassi on Knightsbridge Green and both Cicchetti sites in Piccadilly and Covent Garden continue to flourish and we expect nothing less for Fumo.

Sleek small plates from the people behind Signor Sassi and San Carlo Cicchetti.
Plus a smattering of tourists – it is on St Martin’s Lane, after all – looking pretty pleased with processions of chichi Italian sharing plates from this latest outpost of the San Carlo empire (Signor Sassi, Cicchetti etc).
To my left, two dapper dans were on date night, sporting expensive, ostentatiously placed manbags.
The space is huge, tables tight, but it’s packed to bursting.
There are a couple of things to avoid (overcooked beef tagliata; too-sweet cannoli), but otherwise, this is somewhere that looks more expensive than it actually is.
