Fumo Harlem

I’ve only eaten here a few times but wanted to extend my thanks with a review. I have a lot of unfortunate stomach issues but one of my favorite meals is chicken Marsala, and at least from what I’ve tried in Harlem, Fumo’s is my favorite. They are very accommodating of intolerance and allergies, and do their best to make things work from the times I’ve ordered. Despite making it with my dietary restrictions, you can tell the chef is gifted in their work, it’s times like these I wish I could tell them directly, so I hope they see this and do!! The dish was still very flavorful, the chicken was cooked just right for chicken breast, tender and soaks up the Marsala gravy very well. They give you a GOOD amount of spinach, which I find rare for restaurants to do.. to me, vegetables are important! I’ve ordered it once a long time ago, and today ordering it again reminded me how satisfied I was. It’s a lot of food for me, so I am able to stretch it over two days. The price is very fair, about $26 for 2 pieces of chicken and spinach with lots of perfectly cooked mushrooms. It’s a win-win. This keeps me wanting to try other items on the menu for next time. The only other thing I wish was different with Fumo was a separate fryer, the fries aren’t gluten free ): I had the gluten free pizza twice when I first moved to Harlem in 2023… respectively a miss, due to the crust. I recommend every restaurant use caputo crust or make their own (rising) crust. Their crust is thin and hard unfortunately. The vegan pizza is tasty, despite that. The only reason I wouldn’t get it again is because of the crust. Would recommend Fumo Harlem 👍🏽

I’ve been coming here since 2017 and it’s been consistently amazing. Perfect menu of pasta, pizza, and salads. They also make a killer gluten free rigatoni! Lots of dairy free options too. Get the Fumo Spritz!

Honestly, it is one of the best places to eat in Hamilton Heights! I used to get takeout from here for years when I lived nearby, and recently went back with a friend, and it is still awesome! The food is stunning, modern Italian, and the gluten-free options addictively good. We sat outside, people watched, enjoyed our food in the beautiful weather, we're given plenty of time and no rush, (though during busier times we might not a have been afforded the luxury). The pasta funghi (hope I spelled that right) is a must for any mushroom lovers.
