" San Fermo is one of my favorite places! The dishes are crafted with love, and you can taste the quality right from the first bite. They have a splendid variety of pasta which is always fresh. I also appreciate their commitment to local ingredients. My only complaint is about the service charge that's automatically added to the bill, but the service has always been decent. I recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Italian fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at San Fermo based on all the rave reviews I had heard. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to my expectations. While the atmosphere was lovely and cozy, the food was decent but not memorable. My carbonara was over-salted, and my friend's shrimp dish lacked flavor. Service was okay, but for the price, I expected more consistency in the dishes. I might give it another chance, but I am definitely on the fence. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at San Fermo was a fantastic experience! The cozy atmosphere was enhanced by warm lighting and friendly staff. We ordered their seasonal pasta and crafted cocktails, all of which were delicious. The girella was particularly noteworthy, and I could taste the quality of their ingredients. However, be prepared to pay a premium, as prices are high and the added service charge can catch you off guard. That said, it's worth the treat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my anniversary at San Fermo, and it was a memorable night. The atmosphere was intimate and romantic, which was just what we were looking for. All the dishes were flavorful, especially the pasta. We also enjoyed a nice bottle of red wine recommended by our server. The only downside was the 23% service charge, which felt a bit steep on top of the bill. Still, very much worth it for the quality of food! " (*Curated Review*)

" San Fermo is a must-visit for anyone craving genuine Italian food! The staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. The handmade pasta was divine, bursting with flavors, and we loved the cozy atmosphere surrounded by soft lighting. I found the service prompt, and we appreciated the staff's wine recommendations. Be mindful of the added service charge, though, as it can add quite a bit to your bill. " (*Curated Review*)

" San Fermo exceeded my expectations! The interior is charming, making it a perfect spot for a date night. The pasta was fresh and flavorful, especially the bolognese. However, the service felt a bit slow, especially considering the restaurant wasn't that busy. Still, I would happily return for the food! Just be ready for the service charge. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at San Fermo! The ambiance is perfect for a cozy night out. The food was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We opted for their seasonal offerings, and we were pleasantly surprised. The only downside was the somewhat steep prices but worth the culinary experience. I can't wait to try more of their unique pasta dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
