“I didn’t expect to find this level of Italian food in Idyllwild. The flavors, authenticity, and atmosphere were so amazing. The chef coming out to check on us was extremely touching. Shoutout to Laura for also being so kind and warm. I came here with my elderly mother all the way from Orange County, but we would gladly go again. I had to ask my son how to write this review for me, because I wanted to give a genuine review without ChatGPT. That's how good this restaurant was to me. Thank you for the amazing food and experience, Ferro.”

“This is one of the very best shops in Idyllwild. I love the mug I bought there so much I don’t use any of my others. Such a great shop for buying gifts in general and the tea and pastries are yummy. I also love sitting outside their place with my hot tea and people watching.”

“Fantastic service, amazing food, and a great vibe.

They were incredibly accommodating, squeezing us in on a busy Friday night right near closing time without making us feel rushed at all.

The food and drinks were absolute perfection, and you can truly taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. The marinara sauce was superb, and the Caesar salad is honestly one of the best I have ever had. The pizza was beyond delicious and cooked to absolute perfection. To top it all off, the drinks were out of this world—highly recommend the Tiramisu Martini and the Paloma!

The live music added so much to the wonderful ambiance, making the whole dining experience even better.

A special shout-out to Kevin, who was super friendly, welcoming, and incredibly attentive throughout our meal.

We will definitely be back!”

“We love to celebrate our anniversary at Peaks and last night was awesome as usual. The reserved table was ready and our server, Sofia, was spot on the entire evening. Rafael was assisting Sofia perfectly and Diego was running the entire restaurant smoothly. The food, drinks, ambiance, and company was terrific. Thank you to Diego, Sofia, and Rafael!! See you next time!!!”

“Can't recommend this place enough. Whether you are just passing through town or hiker trash this is the place to go for a good feed and incredible service in Idyllwild! I hope to come back when I can!”

“Amazing food and great atmosphere! We love coming here.”

“I wasn't expecting the food to be that good since it was up at the top of a mountain. Figured it would be kind of like the food at Knotts Berry Farm or Disneyland as far as quality was concerned. It turned out to be way better than I expected. It's not Morton's or Ruth's Chris...but it's really good! My wife had a steak and salad and I had the strawberry date salad with grilled chicken as the protein. I asked for several subs and add-ons and they were very accommodating. The service was great as well. Very attentive and overall it was a great experience!”

“This is the second time I have been here, and it did not disappoint. Wonderful atmosphere, food, and service. I absolutely loved it. Leanne shows exceptional passion with the creativity and presentation of the menu items. Such a great experience for us and our visiting family.”
