フィードバックを提供するI had visited the infamous San Carlo Fumo restaurant in Birmingham. Fumo introduces italian tapas style dishes that are delicious in relation to their main restaurant San Carlo. Located in the centre of Birmingham and only a few minutes from San Carlo, this makes Fumo easily accessible for anybody to find! At first glance, I recall that the interior was W o w. Really elegant and modern, with an overview of the bar area within the dining area. We ordered a few dishes as this was during lunch time. (And cocktails come'on it was a birthday celebration lunch! :p) So this is what we ate: Lobster Risotto: Despite it being a small dish, we hoped that there would be lobster meat in this, however it was really nice rich in lobster flavour. Mixed seafood Calamari: Squid King Prawn Scallops. I loooove Calamari and this was certainly delicious! This was the first time I had tried deep fried Scallops and it's definitely something I would order again. Mixed Seafood Spaghetti: Contains Mussels Prawns Clams Squid and Cherry Tomatoes. This portion size was just right especially for lunch as pasta can be really filling. The creamy sauce that had garlic, butter and a kick of chilli made this dish really flavorsome. Bruschetta with wild mushrooms: Your ordinary Bruschetta dish, plated on a bed of Rocket leaf salad, with wild mushrooms topped with Parmesan cheese. Tasted Lovely, wouldn't say extra ordinary though. Calamari: Deep fried squid. Yep, we loved the mixed calamari soo much that we had ordered another portion of just Squid Calamari. Love the presentation of this. Rice Balls with Meat Ragu: Bet you would've thought that these were meatballs right? Definitely looks it! Take a bite into this and you would find that it has a risotto filling with meat ragu inside. Soo yummy! I loved it. Cocktails: I cannot remember at all what were the names of these! But I do remember that it tasted alot stronger than i had imagined. Nevertheless, tasted really fresh and different! Fumo really does like to showcase their uniqueness in presentation. How cute is that little glass :o). Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed Lunch at San Carlo Fumo, the service was great as was the food. With no doubt, we will be back to have dinner one day.

I can't argue the service, decor and the food, but I can't also justify 5 stars. Nothing special about service, food or even decor. Not the wow you might want, but certainly not a total disappointment. Perhaps our standards are just too high, but then again I've been to better. As a stand alone Italian everything we ordered from seabass to scallops were tasty. Perhaps maybe a little too over priced and so you just expect something to jump off your plate at the prices you pay.
I had a birthday lunch at this restaurant during the week. We didn't make a reservation but were welcomed in, and there were plenty of tables available. The service was fantastic and the food was excellent!
Had good service here, the decor was nice and the food was good. Can't justify giving this place 5 stars as the food didn't really lice upto the prices. The tiramisu was not that great so was a little bit disappointed. The arancini however was very tasty as was the pasta. Overall a decent place to come for a nice Italian meal.
This restaurant definitely deserves 5 stars! I booked a table online, which was very easy. We arrived early, and they were able to seat us without any issues. The restaurant had a nice ambiance that got better as the evening went on. The service was exceptional and really made the experience enjoyable for me and my friend. The food was amazing, I usually don't leave an Italian restaurant feeling so satisfied. The dishes were fresh and the flavors were spot on. It was great value for the quality of food (and wine). I will definitely be coming back.
