West Midtown's dining scene just got more interesting with Füm, a new Italian restaurant that's bringing some serious credentials to the neighborhood. This comes from Miami's Grassfed Culture Hospitality Group, the same team behind Michelin-starred Los Félix, so expectations are high.
The open kitchen setup lets you watch the pastaio (pasta maker) pull fresh noodles, which is always a good sign. The wine program is thoughtfully curated, focusing on biodynamic and organic Italian producers plus grower Champagne. They're keeping it regional and intentional, which feels more authentic than trying to be everything to everyone.
The standout dish seems to be the pappardelle, though those Atlanta Fried Mushrooms (crispy oyster mushrooms on pecorino sauce with chive oil) are getting attention too. The whole vibe feels airy and relaxed, with olive trees on the patio and a DJ spinning lo-fi records. It's the kind of place that takes the food seriously but doesn't take itself too seriously.
