Enjoy live music under the pines almost every night in the expansive concert area or quieter al fresco dining on the front deck. In the winter, cozy up to the beautiful fireplace in the elegant lounge/bar.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Ferro in Idyllwild is a charming Italian spot known for its "amazing" boar lasagna and pizzas. Nestled under pines, it offers a diverse menu and a "magical" atmosphere, especially on the back patio with live music. Friendly staff and "great service" make it a "must-go place" for memorable dining experiences.

    I cant recommend Ferro more highly! This is one of the two greatest places to have a fine meal in Idyllwild! The food is superb, the menu choices are excellent and the service is wonderful and friendly. We had a nice romantic dinner in front of the fireplace with Christmas decorations adding to the evening's charm. We ate inside the bar area because of the winter chill, but the heated patio is the best most of the year. Wonderful pizza oven bar in the rear patio is warm and inviting. And it's right in the central part of the village. And less expensive than a fine meal in Palm Springs If you are going to spend a few nights in the mountains with your Honey (or besty or family) you have to make it here one of your nights - or for lunch. And tell them Carl and Gary sent you! Enjoy!

    We had a perfectly delightful experience at Ferro. The food, as always, was incredibly good (salmon, linguini, tiramisu, and the legendary homemade bread). Our server was very attentive and anticipated our needs. The owners really know how to run a high-end restaurant. We will certainly return.

    Always love a visit to Ferro when we're up in Idyllwild! We took our three adult kids out for a special dinner to celebrate a birthday and enjoyed ourselves as always. I had the Salume Pizza, and everyone else had a pasta dish - all were excellent! Nice selection of wine and cocktails, and the Budino dessert is not to be missed. Love this place!
