Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Ferro in Idyllwild is a culinary gem celebrated for its "authentic Italian cuisine" and "unequaled hospitality." Guests rave about the wild boar lasagna, wood-fired pizzas, and unique craft cocktails. The charming ambiance, especially on the back patio with live music, makes it a perfect spot for special occasions. Reservations are essential for this delightful dining experience.

    Table was ready when we arrived, before dinner drinks were amazing, had a pizza for appetizers, I had spaghetti and meatballs and husband had lasagna for dinner and a nice bottle of wine. Everything was delicious. This is our go to place when we are in Idyllwild, California.

    What a gem! Their food is delicious. We had the wild boar lasagna and the Caccio e Pepe and both were fabulous! Our service was excellent and attentive as well. This is my favorite spot to come to when in idyllwild!

    Staff were very accomodating and service was excellent. Very glad to get in on short notice. Half chicken dinner very dussapointing.however. Overcooked in a big way, dry and over-salted. Wanted to "just try something different", and bad idea. Will stick to the Portk Chpp in the future as a regular for the pork chop as best EVER around. All others in party very much enjoyed their meal -lasagna- as always excellent as well. All will return of course, just not for chicken!

    Cute Italian spot. A little pricey, like everything in Idyllwild. We got a pizza and pasta which were both good. We sat outside on the back patio which is very cute. It was a bit chilly even with the heaters on.
