We made a reservation for dinner on a Thursday night while visiting the city. We were craving good pasta which is hard to come by where we live & San Fermo was on a best pasta list article so we tried it out. It did not disappoint!! The pasta dishes we ordered were phenomenal, as well as the Caesar salad. Would recommend!!! Our server was awesome (Helen) too, Johnny on the spot! The only downsides were that our food took quite a while and the seating was pretty tight. There is a 23% service charge that is applied to the total, I believe it was gratuity. The prices were reasonable but the portions weren’t very big at all. Still it was enough!
