San Carlo Fumo, the eagerly awaited new restaurant, cocktail bar and late lounge from the multi-award-winning, family-owned San Carlo Group is here!
It has been open for business since December and is proving a hit on the Manchester foodie scene with its pasta and pizza as well as expertly crafted, seasonal speciality seafood and meat small plate Italian and Mediterranean dishes.
The spectacular 5,500sq ft venue occupies part of the ground and first floors at One St Peter’s Square, linked by a grand sweeping staircase, and also features an alfresco dining terrace. It also has a nod to the popular and critical success of the group’s Cicchetti restaurants on King Street West in Manchester and Piccadilly and Covent Garden, London.
A spectacular feature bar headed by Alessandro Distefano (son of Carlo and brother of Marcello) offers an extensive range of wines, champagne, Prosecco and artisan beer and an original cocktail menu curated by Manchester’s drinks wizard Jamie Jones.
Unique cocktail creations include a Lavanda Martini – beautifully smooth Beluga vodka, cold infused with lavender olive oil and dry vermouth and sealed on site in a caviar tin, available to enjoy at the bar or take home and The Miss Bombo – an Italian nod to the Manchester bee, features Portobello Road gin, honey, sage, fresh lemon juice and egg white topped with a dash of Fever Tree ginger beer
As with all San Carlo Group restaurants, attention to detail at Fumo is of utmost importance, all dishes are made on the premises using only the finest seasonal ingredients, with much flown direct from produce markets in Milan and Sicily.
San Carlo Fumo is the fifth Manchester restaurant and bar from San Carlo Group, others include the hugely popular San Carlo, which celebrated it’s 10th anniversary in December; San Carlo Cicchetti on Manchester’s King Street West and bottega and Farmacia del Dolce at Selfridges.
Commenting on the opening, Marcello Distefano, Managing Director of San Carlo said:
“We’re understandably excited to bring a new concept restaurant and bar to Manchester. The people of, and visitors to, the city already enjoy our food and style of dining and with Fumo’s late lounge, they can now join us for a special cocktail or glass of wine long after eating.”
Renowned for an always buzzing atmosphere, outstanding food, impeccable service and a star-studded clientele; from celebrities and sports stars to business leaders and high profile politicians, San Carlo Group was founded as a family business by Carlo Distefano in 1992.
