Fumo Covent Garden is a contemporary Italian restaurant at 37 St Martin’s Lane, close to Leicester Square and the theatres of London’s West End. Its spacious dining room provides a polished setting for lunch, dinner and a meal before a performance.
The menu is built around medium sized Italian dishes intended for sharing. Antipasti can be followed by freshly prepared pasta and pizza, while seafood, meat and vegetable dishes draw flavours and seasonal ingredients from across Italy.
This flexible format lets a table choose several contrasting plates instead of following a conventional starter and main course sequence. A dedicated lunch and pre theatre menu offers a selected combination for diners working to a set schedule.
Wine, cocktails and a full bar support longer evening visits, and gluten free or vegetarian choices are available. Fumo also has a private dining room for small gatherings, giving the restaurant another role beyond its regular West End service.
Address: 37 St Martin’s Lane, London WC2N 4ER, England
