    Hubs and I knew we wanted to grab dinner before seeing his friend perform and we also knew we needed to stay close to The Joyce Theater across the street. So with zero reservations anywhere, we tried our luck at LouLou (the menu and vibe looked incredible), but no dice for walk-ins- same story at a couple of other spots. Then we spotted Fumo. Even from the outside, this place looked pumpin', so we took our chances. Sure enough, the manager worked some magic and slid us into a cozy corner nook. Gracias! The vibe is loud but not the chaotic, echo-in-the-room kind of loud. It's lively and social without being irritating. The high ceilings definitely help and give the room space. What softens the space, is the low-hanging bulb lighting fixtures with a soft amber glow turning the whole place nice and warm. Between the meal, the fun energy and the Amapiano music playing in the background, I was practically dancing in my seat. Or maybe it's just that hubs and I haven't been in the city since moving up to the boonies? Our server was smooth and focused. The cocktails, however read awesome on paper- but had no substance. The fried calamari starter was an absolute pile- in the best way. Each piece had a nicely seasoned dredge that gave it flavor even before the dip hit. My $27 Branzino was chunky and came with a generous helping of garlicky sautéed spinach. But the real star was the butter+lemon sauce. It wasn't just a squeeze of lemon and a pat of butter- the sauce was silky the kind that clings to the fish without drowning it. Hubs loved his chicken parm- but as a non-meat eater myself, I did notice the chicken looked pounded paper-thin- hubs enjoyed it though. Service is great- but the cocktails? Go for wine instead.

    I absolutely love Fumo but this location is by far my least favorite of the bunch and needs a lot of work. Obviously, I love their food which is amazing and always why I come here. Particularly the penne funghi is to die for. Tried the linguine vongole clam pasta for the first time and was pretty good as well! Just wish there was more sauce and the clams were the tiniest size I've seen which was disappointing and to make matters worse, a good 1/3 of them were empty. Besides that, the meal was delightful and still great value as it was delicious with huge portions! Love! However, service at this particular branch is nowhere near as good as other branches. I understand it's busy and it's always incredibly crowded with people and cramped seating and loud music/voices but this was like no other. When I arrived party of 2, they had nearly 5 tables empty and yet we couldn't sit at any of them because the had to wait for reservations to see if they arrived and we had to wait 15 min but they said they'd let us know. We were forced to sit at the bar which the giant metal can of alcohol bottles took up 1/2 my seating/dining area and no one bothered to move it or ask if that was okay because obviously it wasn't but the didn't care. We waited awhile for the food to come and during that time we asked if there really wasn't any table availability since tables clearly open and the denied again even though reservations never came. Literally 3 tables remains consistently empty throughout our entire dining experience confined to the cramped bar area. They even closed the door, separating the outdoor diners which was weird and it became insufferably hot inside, even on a cold windy day. Bathroom situation here is also terrible as it is downstairs with steep narrow stairs and me and other customers almost bumped into each other and staff carrying multitude of food dishes and dirty dishes up and down the stairs. Never have I ever had such an undelightful experience going to bathroom at a restaurant. Additionally, sink water pressure either had no water coming out or a giant spray of water making it impossible to wash hands without getting a whole shower. This location really needs work. Only reason why I'm not giving it five stars is because I love Fumo as a whole. Just skip this location.

    Pasta seems to be my theme for my NYC trip and for once a creamy pasta did not disappoint! Fumo has a beautiful atmosphere and the food was delicious. I was attentively served by Paola and appreciated every moment.

    Truly the best truffle fries I have ever had in my life. Loved their happy hour, the appetizers were great portion sizes despite being 6$. Drinks were fantastic as well. Even though it was packed, service was still great as well.

    Easily booked same day reservations for 7pm on Sunday evening. There was a good crowd there. Lots of couples, which makes sense because they definitely set the mood for romantic vibes only (don't bring kids under 12). Mine is 13 and 6ft tall so she gets a pass. Our server started strong by offering water as soon as we sat down. However, he didnt quite get our order right. The spicy calamari is smothered in a spicy sauce. We simply asked for the that with the sauce on the side. Then we ordered a margherita pizza and the spaghetti shrimp fra diavolo he told us that costs the regular price of $28. I had to ask him why he was telling my daughter that and that's when he told us about the Sunday night pasta special of $12 for all but two of the pastas which included the dish we asked for. I was not about to miss out on a steal of a deal and asked for more time. I ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese instead. He brought the pizza out, but I had to order the calamari again since he never put the order in the first time . Food review! The pizza was a bit lackluster, but had a good seasoned crust. The kid liked it although she didn't finish it. 4/5 The calamari was fried well but was also boring even though the spicy marinara on the side helped some, its a basic betty who needs some fried peppers or zucchini to liven the party! 3/5 The perfectly al dente $12 rigatoni bolognese saved the day in terms of flavor, I still was not blowed away! It definitely needed fresh Parmesan and red pepper flakes, which I had to ask for. Pardon me at an Italian restaurant, I should never! 4/5 I would be remiss not to mention the one scoop each of vanilla ice cream and their mango sorbet. Both were very fresh and satisfying and tasted homemade. 5/5 The bill came out to $62 for me and mini me. Not bad! Overall 3.5 out of 5 dahling! For the price, atmosphere, and location I will return to find a dish that I could write home to dear mama about and if they're good the next time maybe I will bring mama with me!

    Spaghetti Vongole

    Came for the lunch special...stayed for the vibe! I ordered the spaghetti vongole and it was incredible! Service was pleasant and speedy. The music was the perfect volume and perfect selection; think old school r&b (Monica and Guniwine)...I was body rolling and chewing throughout my meal. I will absolutely be back...soon!

    Always an exceptional experience at FUMO. Impeccable service, the food is fire, and the music curates the perfect vibe. The food is just dang good. Quality always. The rice balls were delicious and better than mozzz sticks. Steak frites superiority sooo good

    Margherita Pizza

    There hasn't been a Fumo I met that wasnt good. This has become my favorite restaurant establishment. The delicious Italian food, the great service, subtle atmosphere and reasonably priced. Also shoutout to the banging playlist- they playing 90s/early 2000s RnB hits. The food did not disappoint. Went with the margherita pizza and steak & fries. Perfectly cooked and speedy service. Their brick oven pizza is so light and leaves limited guilt. On Sunday they also have an amazing 12 dollar pasta special. The only headache was looking for someone to get my bill. Happy Fumo is expanding to various neighborhoods.

    What a great Italian spot in Chelsea!! Thankfully we got here on a day it wasn't too crowded and got the perfect corner booth seats. We started off with the fried mozz which was fried to perfection, the outside being so crispy and the cheese in the inside having the perfect texture and cheese pulls lol. For the mains we got pesto (vegan) & the rigatoni with chopped sausage. Both were great with plenty of flavor, not to mention the good portion sizes.

    Such a great lunch deal here! $12 for pasta Monday through Friday 12-4pm I believe. I stopped by one Friday for lunch and tried the vegan pesto pasta. So fresh and delicious! Topped it off with some parmesan cheese too. Complimentary bread & olive oil is great too! Staff was great! Very friendly and attentive. The portion size was generous. I had a little leftover to take along with me. A great spot for groups and a date night. I'll be back soon Fumo!

    Baked Ziti
    Kathy B.

    I was walking around Chelsea when I saw a sign for $12 pasta night (on Sundays and Mondays after 4pm) and I had to try it. The food was so delicious. The first night I tried the baked ziti and it was so good. It also was enormous so I took half home. The price was so Gigi's that I indulged in a glass of red wine. The service was amazing. The waiters were attentive, accommodating, and friendly.The food arrived quickly and was hot right out of the oven (or off the stove). The room is small and cost and reminded me of the small restaurants that I tried in Italy. The atmosphere was exciting with most of the tables filled but the sound of conversations was not overwhelming. The tables were close together but not so close that you felt like you were sitting in the lap of the person next to you. I went back the next night and had the penne vodka. So good!

    Branzino
    Franny A.

    What a pleasurable experience! The most NY Italian menu that's more than a pizza/ pasta bar. Such a well thought out menu & execution. Ate: Baked clams 3 Cauliflower bread Arugula salad Branzino with spinach Penn with mushrooms Total: $106 with cash discount The baked clams were incredible and the idea of cauliflower bread was great & well executed. Salad was very good as was branzino and the mushroom penne was so rich & flavorfu. Unpretentious and a fair price point. This Chelsea girl loved it.

The crust was very thin, even for a NYC slice, and was alright, being a bit doughy at the top. I found the sauce too sweet for my liking, which almost reminded me of the rather terrible Little Italy chain. There was plenty of cheese, and it had a good pull, even if it looked a bit overcooked on top. I'm presuming the average ratings here and on other sites are because of their location and the fact that a lot of tourists who go here can't tell the difference between Joe's and a dollar slice. Perfectly decent slice on the level, if not worse than many slices in the city, as I disliked the sauce, while the rest was fine.

The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

The white wine sangria was tasty, but I regret to say my partner nor I totally loved the pizza - it was quite greasy, which made it very wet and heavy to eat.

    Best gluten-free pizza I have ever had. [Full Stop]…read more I've had a lot of GF pizza. I've tried to come here in the past -- but it didn't work out. I ordered via Uber Eats this time, and MAN -- I was blown away. I honestly thought that they had screwed up and sent me a gluten version. I checked the order and receipt. It was so good -- the crust so chewy with bite -- but light and airy and tight -- the cheese and toppings all great and fresh and delicious. It tasted like an awesome piece of NYC pizza. I was so happy. I did some Claude sleuthing -- and think I'm onto their magic with the crust -- and am excitedly going to experiment in my home kitchen in the coming weeks (Neapolitan oven, be damned!).

Located at 309 West 50th Street in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, the casual eatery has an extensive list of pizzas.

To top that off, Caporuscio recently debuted a brand new pizza tasting menu that features a curated lineup of never-before-seen pizza napoletana, and seven varieties of pizza fritta (fried pizza). Lastly, the entire pizza menu is now available gluten-free. With vast offerings, they are ambitious, and every dish is outstanding.

We started with two fabulous drinks: An Espresso Martini and their signature Limoncello Margarita. We shared the Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad and it was fabulous.

You will taste flavors that you've probably never experienced before with a pizza. Also, the different textures of the arugula, creaminess of the cheese, and the perfect crust will make it a memorable selection. For dessert, we shared the Buttermilk Panna Cotta.

RIGHT BY THE DOOR. Do people not realize that putting a bar near a door on a freezing cold night benefits no one? Good thing I did not order alcohol or I would have froze to death. Seriously, none of the pies stood out in grand memory. All I can think of is, well, nothing. Nothing positive anyway. The names of the pies are funny, and the staff is friendly, but besides that, the quality of the food for lack of a better word, dare I say it, sucks. Hoping to salvage the meal, I ordered their Chicken Parmesan. It was the Hail Mary pass that unfortunately did not connect. The cutlets are overcooked and dry, and the red sauce cooked with it has minimal tomato flavor. At least the spaghetti is cooked to a nice al dente and mellow garlic butter flavor, but like the sauce cooked in, it is also minimal. Part of the problem I feel is they are trying to go for a vibe that has a New York and modern feel. It does not work. Stay true to one or the other. Or at least look at other business models. I will use another pizzeria in Bushwick that exemplifies it perfectly. It is a hipster pizzeria in a hipster neighborhood. Through balance, it creates an ambiance both welcoming and warm without losing any of its Bushwick character. It does this by not beating you over the head with hipster vibes, just enough to let you know that you are in Bushwick. The band Franz Ferdinand was playing as I was wrapping up. Rather than take the pizza out, I suggest you throw it out. Overall pizza rating: 1.7/5

The first thing you notice is the main bar wall, with its exposed centuries-old brick that has survived every bit of chaos this city could throw at it. It's subtly backlit from with a warm, amber glow that highlights every single historic groove and imperfection, making the whole room look like it's breathing. I have to say the centerpiece of the entire narrow room is the bar itself, and let me tell you, it is an absolute stunner of a contrast. Instead of the usual dark, sticky tavern wood, they've dropped in a long, continuous slab of pristine, elegantly smooth white stone. It glows under the soft lighting like a block of polished marble. There are no strobe lights and no obnoxious, skull-rattling bass in this joint. Instead, the room is wrapped in a blanket of incredibly chill music that matches the pulse of the room perfectly. It's just loud enough to drown out the noise in your own head, but quiet enough that you don't have to scream over the smooth white counter to be heard. People aren't here to be seen on TikTok; they're here to disappear for an hour or three. You slide into a chair, order a proper Old Fashioned from a bartender who doesn't rush the pour, and watch the ice melt against the amber-lit brick. It's the ultimate underground exhale--a perfect, narrow slice of peace in a city that never shuts up. Cheers!
