Went here for my 10 year anniversary. This was the best dining experience I've had in a long time. The customer service was beyond expectations. I wish I had gotten the name of our waitress, a blond woman. She is a gem. I hope this restaurant understands what an asset they have with her. The food was also very good as was the atmosphere. Can't wait to come back. Thank you.

Food, drinks, service, atmosphere—everything was amazing! A must-visit in Idyllwild. I had heard great things about their pizza, and since they were conveniently open late and located right next to where I was staying (Silver Pines Village), I decided to give it a try. This place went above and beyond my expectations! Would love to come back again!

An amazing night. Wine and pizza, you can’t go wrong. Through the first week of September live music on the weekends. Band last night was great. Love the intimate setting! Only dropped a star because it was a bit too salty for me. So if you are salt sensitive, you may want to say something to your server.

This was a lovely little restaurant that’s tucked into the downtown area of Idyllwild, CA. They had a nice Italian menu with a ton of different options to choose from for any person. We decided to order off their happy hour menu which was very reasonably priced and had a nice variety. While I did enjoy the location and food, there was some opportunity with some of the dishes for some deepening with their flavor profiles. Also I didn’t love where we sat on the patio because our view felt minimal and closed in. All in all this is still a great restaurant and I definitely recommend that you try it out if you are in the area.

A new favorite in Idyllwild! I made reservations for us earlier in the day for dinner & when we showed up we asked if it was possible to sit outside. We were seated in our own little gazebo/canopy tent. I was really craving pasta so l ordered the spaghetti e polpette and my fiancé got the pollo arrosto. His meal was so big, I didn't expect it to be an entire chicken. The flavors on it were so good and he was so happy with it. For my spaghetti, the meatballs were good and melted in your mouth. The only complaint I have is my noodles tasted a bit overcooked but I still enjoyed it. For dessert I really wanted to try their tiramisu, it was so yummy! I'm honestly a sucker for a good dessert. Throughout our entire meal we were constantly checked on, waters refilled and asked if we were enjoying our food. Everyone was so kind and provided excellent service. We will definitely be back!

Awesome little Italian restaurant. Great food, great service. It's fancy but not pretentious. More like a casual fine dining. Absolutely love the back patio. They were doing live music when we came. Will definitely be back. Pizzas were my favorite part but everything we ordered was good.

We came to Idywild to visit this restaurant again. It did not disappoint and we were happy to see the quality hasn’t changed since we were here 10 years ago. We had the Italian sausage pizza, Caesar salad, spring spaghetti, and zuppe de pesce. Dessert was the Carmel bread pudding, it did not come out hot. The weakest was the zuppe and the best was the pizza. I also liked the sparkling rose a lot! We enjoyed the atmosphere and loved sitting out on the back patio. It was Memorial Day weekend and it wasn’t crazy busy, but hopping. Book a reservation even if you want to sit at the bar. There were a lot of dogs and kids and everyone seemed happy. Thank you for a lovely evening. See you again!
