Fumo Chelsea — Restaurant in New York

Tucked into the stylish rhythm of Chelsea, the new Fumo location is a refined yet inviting destination for anyone who appreciates exceptional food in a beautifully designed space. The restaurant retains its signature aesthetic; rough and amorphous white brick walls, lush green plants, gold accent metal details and glowing white globe lights; all combining to create an atmosphere that’s both relaxed and effortlessly sophisticated. But let’s talk about the star of the show: the food. Fumo’s menu continues to deliver hits, starting with their iconic brick oven pizzas. I keep coming back for the Vodka Sauce Pizza, creamy and rich, especially with added grilled chicken. The Roni Pizza is a meat lover’s dream, and the Fumo Burger is stacked, juicy, and satisfying. And don’t overlook their pastas; every dish is thoughtfully prepared and deeply comforting. If you’re starting with appetizers, you can not miss the Spicy Calamari; perfect texture , perfectly seasoned, and with just the right kick. But the true standout for me was their Tuna Tartare on the special menu; served on a bed of cucumber, with avocado, and red pepper, with a gentle heat that elevates every bite. It’s refreshing, vibrant, and absolutely addictive. What makes Fumo Chelsea even more special is the warmth of the experience. The owners greet every guest like family; true to Italian hospitality and it shows in the energy of the space. And of course, the cocktails. Their happy hour is a must, especially for fans of the Fumo Aperol Spritz. They also serve a fantastic wine selection and several original cocktails; don’t leave without trying the Lorenzo’s Aperol Spritz, Lorenzo’s Gin & Atonic, or the romantic Lorenzo’s Love Spritz. Whether you’re a New Yorker or just passing through, make sure Fumo Chelsea or any of their other locations is on your list. Come for the food, stay for the vibe, and leave with a new favorite spot.

I had such a great experience at Fumo the other night, I have to share. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome—it honestly felt like visiting family. One of the owners, Predrag, is the best host I've ever had a priviledge to meet and he went far out of his way to make every single guest feel like and home. Everyone overall was warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there, which set the tone for the whole evening.

We started with the Burrata, and wow… it was so fresh and creamy, easily one of the best I’ve had. For my main dish, I went with the Rigatoni Fiorentina, newly added to the menu, and it was the star of the night—the pasta was clearly homemade, perfectly tender, and the sauce was rich and comforting without being too heavy. My friend ordered the margherita pizza, and the crust was next-level: crisp, chewy, and full of that wood-fired flavor you hope for but don’t always get.

The service really stood out. I must say this again. Our server checked in often enough that we never needed to ask for anything, but it never felt rushed or overbearing. Drinks were always refilled, and everything just flowed naturally.

We ended with the tiramisu, which was light, creamy, and the perfect sweet finish. By the time we left, we were already talking about what we wanted to order next time.

If you’re looking for an Italian spot with amazing food, friendly service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay all night, definitely check this place out. I’ll 100% be...

And let’s not forget their oven-baked pizzas. The vodka sauce pizza is a must-try, rich and delicious. The truffle fries are another winner, and the burger? Juicy, flavorful, and surprisingly well-priced. Happy hour at Fumo is something special. Their signature Fumo Spritz will instantly transport you to a breezy summer day on Lake Como.
