Spent our anniversary dinner here and it was fantastic! Thank you for making us feel special and special thank you to Josie A for the tiramisu rec. Top 2 favorite tiramisu we’ve had and we’ve spent some time in Italy trying them out! 100/10 would recommend.

Dinner was amazing. Came for our anniversary and they made it extra special for us. We really appreciated the friendly service from Josie A. The tiramisu was insanely good. Wine list was also great.

Living in Ballard I’ve been wanting to check this place out for a while and it did not dissappoint!! From the ambiance, service, and food I’d rate it a 10/10. Our server was knowedlgable and attentive but not overbearing, the restaurant is so cute and intimate. We did have a reservation which I definitely recommend. We ordered & shared the Caesar Salad, Focaccia, Spaghetti Bolognese, Tiramisu, and Lavender Honey Gelato. I would order everything again and again. Can’t wait to go back to try more!

Great experience would love to go there again. Great menu options not a huge menu but very good variety of dishes
Kaylee
Amazing food with a mostly rotating menu using seasonal ingredients from their farm. Great experience all around, perfect for a date night!

Great service & great appetizers. The entrees were lacking majorly. My husband got the halibut & it was very dry. I got the Ossobuco & it was also extremely dry. We unfortunately couldn’t finish our entrees. Willing to give the restaurant another try due to our appetizer experience, but very disappointed in the entrees.

outstanding as usual! Best pasta in town without a doubt. Love the way the menu is always changing.

First to be seated. Main courses were late. Tried to make up for it woth extra bread and salad. Needed a steak knife to cut the osso buco. And no one wished my 83 yo mother happy birthday. PLUS AUTOMATIC 23% GRATUITY. Never again.

The food is always delicious! The menu changes and ever dish we have ordered is so good! Our service was attentive.

Everything we had was delicious...No Exceptional! The Carbonara and Spaghetti Bolenese stood out as the best we've ever eaten in our 70 plus years, and we have traveled a lot. And Julian was delightful. We'll be back!
Went here last week and had a pretty bad experience. 1. A friend got there ahead of us and mistakenly grabbed a table for 2 instead of a table for 3. So waitress had to move us to their covered patio (no tables inside). Luckily said patio was quite nice! Warm, and waitress adjusted it for us when it was too warm. 2. We had to wait 30+ minutes for our food and were there overall like 2 hours. The table next to us got their food, ate it all, got dessert, ate that, and left in the time between us ordering and getting entrees. During that time the waitress checked on us once. 3. We got the entres and they were.. fine. Nothing amazing. My wife got the seafood one as it was the only pasta with a white sauce - but of course it was more of a seafood pasta than a white sauce pasta while I got something with olives and our friend got the Bolognese. The waitress did say the menu was seasonal and the Bolognese was the only consistent item on the menu.
The focaccia appetizer was delicious, but I was sad we ate it all well before the entrees got there so I couldn't wipe up the plate with bread.
And then of course we paid like $220. So just all around a disappointment. Would not recommend coming here unless you're excited about the seasonal / fresh menu.

I have dined here multiple times in the past and recommended it to people. I will never recommend it again. I wanted to take my family to my favorite place in town since they were visiting from out of state. Although they were late to the reservation due to not knowing the area ( we did let the staff know), the waitress came up to take our order and, instead of introducing herself, decided to reprimand our guest for being late and rushed us to order since " they had a lot of reservations that night." Mind you, the place was virtually empty while we were there; even after we left, the place remained empty. We decided not to have entrees there as our appetite was ruined by the atmosphere. We ordered minimal drinks and appetizers and then headed to Ballard Cut for dinner. This experience ruined what used to be my favorite restaurant in Ballard.

San Fermo is consistently a great experience. Both food and service are excellent. The food is delicious, creative and beautifully presented. San Fermo does not disappoint.
Julie
Wonderful dining experience. Cozy ambiance, delicious food and service was excellent. A little pricey, but on par with Seattle restaurants. Perfect place for date night or to celebrate a special occasion.

Started with olives and the sea wolf bread! The butter is DIVINE! Then shared two mains, squid ink dish and halibut! The halibut was perfectly crusted!
