Really loved the vibe and the drinks. However, while the main courses (crab ravioli and clam squid ink pasta) were plated perfectly, they were extremely salty to the point that we could not finish them and it was really disappointing. Our server was helpful and knowledgeable but struggled to juggle all of their tables. It was busy so it was understandable, but still was hard to even get water throughout the night. I can’t say I would go back for anything other than drinks and appetizers.

San Fermo was a unique experience with fresh and delicious food. The restaurant is located in a house, and the atmosphere is very cozy. Everything was delicious. The pasta plates are on the smaller side, so make sure to order enough food given that they make you order everything up front, which is a bit odd. Service was very friendly.

The best dish we had tonight was the clam cavatelli. Sauce was extremely flavorful, just the right amount of spice. Pasta texture was also delicious.

It started from being seated to the delicious fast cocktails to the attention of the every single service staff member that at some point helped in delivering or clearing of the dishes. The fried eggplant dish, charred artichoke, caramelle, agnolotti, every dessert. I’d eat there again and again. I never wanted to leave. Great atmosphere, and service standards that I haven’t had since before the pandemic. I’d give San Fermo 10 stars if I could.

This place has been on my “Want to Go”Google list for a while, and turns out, it was on my husband’s as well! Everything was amazing! From the salads to the pasta to the house amaretto and rhubarb tort for dessert. It is a great balance of modern and classic Italian. It’s like your Nonna was trained at a Michelin starred restaurant and decided to open a place that was unpretentious but just as delicious and much more approachable.

Located in a cute little house in ballard but surprisingly larger when you walk in. Went as a group of 4 for mothers day with reservations. We ordered the eggplant with several pasta dishes. Parking can be difficult but there’s a lot near by.

The food was outstanding. We ordered the olives, artichoke, Caesar salad, branzino and lamb ragu. Everything was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The sauce with the artichokes was creamy and fishy which I love and the Caesar dressing was 10/10. The staff was also extremely friendly, we told our server we liked skin contact wines and she let us sample a few of them. It was a great anniversary dinner.

Fantastic, seasonal and carefully crafted dishes with balanced flavors. Antipasti we’re fresh and interesting, everything on the menu was a delight. Enjoy sharing plates to make the most of your dinner.
