" The atmosphere at San Fermo is delightful! We celebrated my birthday there, and it couldn't have been a better choice. The food was fantastic; the homemade pasta is the spotlight of the menu! Each dish was crafted beautifully and had a unique flavor profile. The only downside was that we feel the service could’ve been a bit more attentive given how relaxed the atmosphere is. I’d still recommend it to anyone craving Italian! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for San Fermo, having read so many positive things, but my experience was quite mixed. The atmosphere is really lovely, and the staff were polite. However, the food was hit or miss. The risotto was great, but the pasta dish we ordered came out overcooked, which was disappointing. I may give it another try in the future, but my confidence has been shaken. " (*Curated Review*)

" The overall experience at San Fermo was underwhelming based on all the hype I had read about. While the ambiance was nice and the staff friendly, the food didn’t make a lasting impression on me. I tried the cavatappi which was a bit overcooked and tasted bland. The prices are a little too high for what you get. I might not be back again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had a great dinner at San Fermo! The atmosphere is lovely and perfect for an intimate dinner. The food was delicious, especially the handmade pasta. I went with a friend, and we had a great time trying different dishes. However, I felt like the service was a bit slow and inattentive at times. Still, I look forward to returning for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" San Fermo is an absolute delight! It perfectly captures the essence of Italian dining with its exquisite handmade pasta. The service is fast and friendly, and the warm atmosphere makes it perfect for gatherings. We recommend trying several dishes to get a taste of their variety, as the portion sizes are a bit on the smaller side for the price. I will definitely be coming back to this hidden gem!

" 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*)
