This was our first visit to Idyllwild and a local store owner recommended Ferro which was a short walk away. Facility: cozy, relaxing, beautiful - there is a small bar and dining on the front porch, upstairs or down in the small main building, or on a large backyard patio that also has a "bar" with a wood-burning oven for making pizza. I understand that they do live music in the evenings; the stage is in the back patio area. Food: authentic Italian. I had lived in Milan for a year and this was like going back. Pizza with Italian cheeses and brocollini baked in a wood-burning oven was the best I have had in years. We had a panini with ribeye steak and caramelized onions that was awesome. And topped it all off with strawberries with balsamic vinegar and vanila gelato (trust me, one of the most popular desserts in Italy). Service: warm and friendly, genuine, no pretense at all here.
What a delightful was to spend a lazy summer afternoon - fabulous food, beautiful weather, and cool music.

We recently went camping in Idyllwild and after checking out of our site Sunday we drove into town for lunch. I friend familiar with the area recommended Ferro. We were not disappointed. The food was good, service was good, atmosphere was nice. The restaurant has several seating areas, front patio, back patio with live music (i think) inside and an upstairs dining room. We were hot and tired from packing up, it was a very hot weekend, so we ate inside upstairs and enjoyed some A/C. We would go back again.

Dinner on the quiet front porch. Rear patio was booked. Meal began with gratis yummy bread sticks, herb butter and some olives. There is a charge for bread with dinner.
Husband enjoyed individual margarita pizza.
I had whole pan-roasted Branzino Con Limone with fresh herbs, lemon and vegetables. They kindly boned the fish before serving. The meal was quite good
Had interesting gelato selection but freezer was broken! Dessert menu sounded very tempting but we resisted

Every summer we drop our kids off at Idyllwild Arts for summer camp and one of the highlights for the whole family is to go to dinner on the outside patio. Listening to the live jazz while enjoying a beautiful and thoughtfully prepared meal just makes the whole experience something to remember. The service from the thoughtful staff and the food that goes head to head with anything in San Francisco is something you have to experience.

We have been there many times and the restaurant is always yummy. The outdoor spaces are our favorite and they are very accommodating when dining with kids. The wood fire pizzas are a "go to" with our family... but we really haven't had a menu item that we didn't like.
