San Fermo offers a charming atmosphere, with attentive staff providing thoughtful service. The restaurant serves a range of dishes, including buratta, cavatelli with duck confit, risotto, and bolognese pasta. Customers often enjoy dishes like the summer peas, crab risotto, and whole grilled trout, which are praised for their flavor and good portion sizes. While some portions may be on the smaller side, guests appreciate the expertly-paced and well-sized servings, especially when ordering an appetizer, entree, and dessert together. The open kitchen allows guests to see the chefs at work, adding to the lively and engaging environment. Although the service can be slow during busy times, the accommodating staff enhances the experience. The ambiance, especially when dining on the patio or front porch, makes San Fermo a favorite spot for many diners. While some dishes, such as the truffle pasta, may not always meet expectations, the overall experience—particularly during special occasions like birthdays—is highly appreciated.
