Born out of a shared appreciation for everything Italian that ferments, Fermento is the new Italian eatery and wine bar in Darlinghurst.
After a wealth of chef experience with a number of Sydney hotspots such as Merivale’s Ivy and the Northern Beaches’ Manly Greenhouse, Diego Mazza combined forces with his friend Giorgio Colosimo to open their very first restaurant.
Sydney Social 101 recently dined at Fermento and absolutely fell in love! Fermento is centrally located in the heart of Darlinghurst and features cosy, minimalist interiors. The vibe is fun, friendly and super relaxed! The menu is full of variety but the star of the show is their pizza! All of the pizza dough is made in house through the fermentation process enhancing the structure and flavour of the dough. The pizza dough is made in the Roman style meaning the dough is light and airy.
To start we enjoyed the melt in your mouth Eggplant Parmy Rolls with buffalo, napoli sauce, parmigiano, basil sauce, and balsamic reduction. For mains we shared the GNOCCHI AL GORGONZOLA- gorgonzola & roasted walnuts sauce; and the VEGETARIANA Pizza with tomato base, Fior di latte mozzarella, grilled Eggplant, grilled zucchini
roasted capsicum and fresh basil.
For dessert we REALLY enjoyed the Nutella Pinsa which was every chocoholics dream!
Other highlights on the menu include: ham & truffle pizza with fior di latte mozzarella, smoked leg of ham, mushrooms and tartufata $26, home-made prawn ravioli with lemon butter sauce, thyme and roasted pine nuts $28, preceeded by the hero antipasto dish; FERMENTO LASAGNA- Homemade lasagna with bolognese sauce, Parmigiano DOP and Fior di latte mozzarella.
The drinks menu is extensive with a wide range of cocktails, spirits and wines to enjoy! We enjoyed a bottle of the 2018 Scalzi SHIRAZ BAROSSA VALLEY and could have definitely finished off a second bottle it was that good!
