Ferro in Idyllwild has garnered a range of opinions from patrons. While some praise its homemade pasta, attentive service, and romantic ambiance—making it a favorite for special occasions—others express disappointment in the food’s flavor and overall value.

Despite these challenges, the restaurant's inviting outdoor spaces and diverse menu options, including highly regarded pizza and seafood dishes, keep many returning. Ultimately, Ferro presents a blend of exceptional meals and concerning service inconsistencies that potential diners should consider.
The food at this restaurant was delicious and the service was outstanding. Our server was attentive and quick. The only downside was that there were several dogs brought by other diners to the outdoor patio seating area. There were about 7 or 8 dogs, and some of them were quite noisy with their barking, which was a bit annoying. However, once the loud dog owners left, the experience was very enjoyable and of high quality. We will definitely be returning in the future!
The service at this restaurant was outstanding. The chocolate torte dessert stole the show during dinner. The cucumber salad was enjoyable, although the tomatoes were lacking in flavor as usual. It seems that many restaurants struggle to find quality tomatoes. In my experience, the best tomatoes can be found at Costco, specifically the Campari tomatoes. The pork chop I ordered was mediocre, and the broccolini could have been cooked a bit longer. However, the Belvedere martini was excellent, and the live musician provided top-notch entertainment.
The panzella salad is fabulous. We always get the fennel sausage pizza and it is also fabulous. The front deck is shady and comfortable with our dog in a stroller. The back garden is lovely, but we always opt for front deck or inside. Shade is not always secure in back (damn that rotation of the Earth). The servers are polite and helpful. The dessert menu is extensive. We've had the butterscotch pudding and the bread pudding. Both yummy.
Ferro is a charming restaurant located under the pine trees, offering a diverse and reasonably-priced menu. The kitchen does a great job, and the staff is friendly and professional. Bryan provided excellent service, fulfilling all of our wants and wishes with efficiency. We chose to dine here because we personally knew many of the world-class musicians performing that evening, and the music was outstanding. The overall experience was magical. It is recommended to check availability directly with the restaurant, and when making a reservation through Open Table, specify your seating preference. The rear patio is especially enjoyable when there is live music.
As always, we had a great experience at Ferro's. The service and the food is always on point. The ambiance is always beautiful as well.
