Customer Reviews
We have eaten at Fumo before and can highly recommend here for lunch or dinner. This time we had dinner and all the food was exceptional well cooked and served, with a real authentic Italian feel. With marble table tops and linen napkins it’s a really lovely upmarket experience, which is supported by great service.
We had a late lunch here today at Fumo for my husbands birthday. I wish we had never entered this restaurant. The service was extremely slow even though there were only 3 tables occupied. Our starters were ok, Cheesy Garlic Bread and Calamari, then it just went downhill. The pizza was awful, my mushroom risotto was cold and disgusting, lasagne was good but the worst was our youngest daughters Spaghetti carbonara. It arrived cold and dry. She couldn't eat it so we asked our waitress to get it warmed up with some sauce. After waiting for a long time she arrives with the dish. It looked lovely but our daughter said it tastes disgusting. My husband and I tried it and she was right. It seemed as though the sauce was just raw egg mixture poured on top of it. She left the dish. The waitress made no comment when my husband complained about the food and she saw the mushroom risotto and Spaghetti carbonara plates still full. My husband paid the bill in full as he didn't want the experience to ruin his birthday. But, it did. We expected better of this restaurant.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fumo Manchester, thanks in large part to Will and Ginevra, who went above and beyond to make our evening special. From the moment we were seated, both Will and Ginevra greeted us with professionalism, warm smiles and genuine friendliness that instantly made us feel welcome. Their attention to detail was exceptional — from making sure our drinks were always topped up to checking in at just the right moments without ever being intrusive. They both managed that perfect balance of professionalism and personality — friendly, attentive, and always smiling. They’re a real credit to Fumo and made our visit one to remember. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!
