    The service and food were excellent. I ordered the pork chop, which was outstanding. I also shared my wife’s lentil soup, and salami and funghi pizza , which were also delicious. Ferro is a must do when visiting Idyllwild.

    The Bolognese is terrific and the wait staff is quite attentive. Nice atmosphere after a day of hiking-recommend sterring toward pizzas and pasta. Wine selection is quite varied.

    Wonderful experience, great food and great service. It got rather cold suddenly, and we were celebrating my birthday. They were nice enough to seat us right in front of the the fireplace. Nice!!!! My wife and I had a great time and we will definitely be back!

    Lovely atmosphere by the fireplace on a cool night. My husband couldn't stop raving about the lasagna. It was chocked full of delicious meat and great sauce. I had seafood risotto that was also delicious and did not disappoint. The have a lovely patio in the back that we weren't able to enjoy this time. It was a little too chilli for us. I would recommend this place to anyone.
