San Fermo | 5341 Ballard Ave NW, Seattle
Old-school Italian meets old-school Seattle in some of the most charming eating spaces in the city. Walk up the front porch and through what used to be the living room of a 1800s style home into a bustling kitchen and intimate dining space,. San Fermo serves up homemade pastas, like a delightful spaghetti bolognese and carbonara, thoughtful starters and yummy drinks. On a warm evening enjoying dinner on the wrap around porch is a must.
