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.

    We did not like the food at this restaurant. There were four of us and we all ordered entrees instead of pizza. Two of us had the roasted chicken which was good. Two of us had other entrees that were both pretty bad. Service was friendly and efficient. Kitchen was fast with the meals coming out in a timely manner. However non of that Matters of the food is bad

    I love this place. I sat on the front porch and it was nicely heated. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe which was good but had SO much garlic. I don’t think this dish usually has garlic. I also randomly added rib eye steak as it was an add on. I like that this place is dog friendly. Unfortunately there was a screaming child next to my table. I honestly think it’s too fancy for kids.

    Went to FERRO for a date night dinner and essentially ended up leaving after an hour of only getting 3 drinks total and 0 of the food we ordered. Our server looked absolutely lost the entire time we saw her which was about 30 minutes, including the time she came by with the wrong order of food (and then proceeded to ask every other table nearby if it was theirs, with a resounding no from all tables), until she then disappeared. After waiting another 20ish minutes we waived another server to come by and let her know what we were waiting on and she confirmed that our order was never put in and instead the server punched in some random items. We asked for the check for our drinks and left. I understand people have off nights and to the other servers credit she did try to help the best she could but I’d call it quite a messy night.
