I ordered the Lamb Ragù pasta, and every bite was packed with rich, slow-cooked flavor. To start, my brother and I shared a pizza and the lobster appetizer, and both were incredible. My brother ordered the truffle pasta, and after stealing a few bites, I can honestly say it was just as unforgettable. The atmosphere was on another level. Even on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was buzzing with energy, full of happy people, great conversations, and an authentic Italian vibe that made you want to stay for hours. The service from Jose was outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had an amazing experience. If you're looking for incredible Italian food, outstanding service, and one of the best dinner spots in the East Village, OLIO E PIÙ belongs at the top of your list. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the city.

We started off with a selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic mixed drinks which were all rated good by the drinkers. We ordered a mix of appetizers - the caramelized onion & cheese torta was a table favorite, as was the salad which had a perfectly balanced tangy dressing. We also enjoyed the smashed cucumbers. Next we got a selection of pastas, the guanciale was a favorite and we also enjoyed the rabbit and crab pasta. Entrees were the steak, a good sized portion, grilled chicken on the bone and an excellent pork Milanese with anchovy sauce on the side. We ended our meal with a lemon torta, basque cheesecake and an espresso dark chocolate cake - which was more like a sorbet but nevertheless delicious. Our server gave us great suggestions, including going for a family style meal and did not rush us making this a memorable meal.

The salad could've used a splash of more dressing, but was otherwise very fresh and well seasoned. We ordered the eggplant pasta, truffle sausage pasta, and the salmon. All were excellent. We subbed fresh pappardelle on the eggplant dish which was nice and chewy and seasoned simply (garlic, olive oil, salt= perfection). The truffle was not too overpowering, added a nice touch of flavor.

If you answered "yes" to all three, then Fumo is a place to seriously consider. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The service is fast and attentive. The menu has lots of excellent choices. The portions are generous. The prices are very reasonable. There you go ! Fumo is for you, (at least the Chelsea location) is for you. Any drawbacks ? youi ask.....well, yes, there is one, and it should be cosnidered. The restaurant is so so so popular that the noise level can be a bit ..... shall we say "daunting." Fumo is a great place but if you want a soft, quiet place to have a serious conversation, maybe save it for another time....
