I cant comment on food as we stopped off for Christmas shopping cocktails .lol Wonderful barman named Roman looked after us . Very polite, beautiful smile. Even made us a cocktail that wasn't on the list .
Always have a great experience when visiting Fumo. It’s tucked away at the top of Selfridges Birmingham & the wait is never long.
If you haven’t been before, it’s worth noting that portion sizes are more tapas style, but 3/4 dishes to share between two is enough.
Food arrives at random as and when it’s ready and the service is fantastic!
Coming from a working class background it was suprising to see portion sizes here smaller and the prices higher than I'm usually accustomed to.
For example we ordered a Mixed grill for around £18 and it was one cut for each meat.
The quality of food was obviously very good indeed.
It was a new experience to have the food orders come as and when they are prepared, not as starters then mains etc.
The staff were very friendly and helpful but there were a few moments where they had forgotten to carry out your request.
Also they never seemed to be in a rush.
The dessert was out of this world... Millefoglie is the one 😍!!!
Been here a few times, Gorgeous restaurant with amazing decor always popped in for a quick brunch after retail therapy. Food was ok pretty small portion, pistachio was amazing! Abit noisy inside the restaurant as it’s located in the middle of the store and music can be loud.
Always busy. Staff are helpful. Food is delicious and are small. Equisite dining experience. I have come here a few timed and would highly recommend. The bruschetta is my favourite.
Visited with my wife on Wed last week (13 Mar). The restaurant is nicely set out with a good ambiance. We only had drinks as it was mid-afternoon, a bottle of Prosecco. Service was a bit slow, staff were not attentive and we had to ask for everything rather than it being intuitive. It was not busy and at one point there were more staff than customers. I would return for the location but there are better places in Birmingham.
Cocktails were perfect 🥰 but fried Kingprawns... the portion was too small 😂 (three prawns for dish?!)
But the mood, the drink was👍... I might visit this place again !
The food was DELICIOUS. The staff were so amazing, and so helpful. Expensive but a great place to go with your partner in the evening. Small plates of food so get a couple. Make sure you try the PASTA and the truffle chips, so good.
Regular visitors and never disappointed…
Giovanni is such a fantastic host and ambassador for the brand. Just can’t thank him enough … Steve & Cal
Holy maloney!! What a great place! After moving to Birmingham from London I have been so disappointed by the restaurant scene here. But this place is world class . I'm surprised the chefs havnt been given Michelin star! The ambience is luxurious and chic, and the waiters are so professional. They were constantly available and knew everything about the food on the menu. What a fantastic experience! AND THE FOOD. This is gastronomy. Unique presentations and served in good time one after the other. We ordered around 6 to 7 items between two of us and everything tasted amazing! It's been so long since I've felt this way. This made my day.
On the top floor of Selfridge's with a view over the Bullring, but doesn't feel like you are eating in a department store. Extensive selection of small plates that are great to share. Allergens are not shown on the menu but waiting staff were knowledgeable about gluten free options.
When you say that you’re eating some really amazing food in the middle of a Department Store doesn’t really do this place justice. The food is fantastic and the staff were really something, polite, extremely well presented and so helpful. Make sure you order various dishes to really enjoy and soak up the real experience , it’s not a 1 dish per person gig lol. If you’re in the Bullring or surrounding area you must visit at least once- you won’t regret it
Came here in the summer and left due to no service. This time around we sat at the bar, there was a great vibe and the drinks were exceptional. Had bruschetta and avo salad to keep us going until dinner and it was delicious (bruschetta not very crisp though and loads of tomatoes!) bar staff were very friendly.
A great pit stop from shopping. Highly recommend!
Ate here for late lunch on a Saturday, the atmosphere as always was buzzy. Started with a glass of champagne at the bar and then sat down to a selection of Italian tapas dishes and finished with cocktails for dessert. Friendly service and reasonable prices.
Really exceeded my expectations. Lively little Italian restaurant with affordable prices and great food. The servers were really nice and accommodating and I would definitely go back again.

Dishes are absolutely delicious and tingle every aspect of the taste buds.
I had the grilled steak and potatoes, my daughter had spaghetti and prawns
The portion sizes are quite small though
