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.

A total gem from food quality, charming atmosphere to attentive service, this place aims to please...and hits the mark! Our group of 8, all friends and residents of Rancho Mirage, visited this Sunday evening and everyone enjoyed our cozy patio meal. The menu offers a broad spectrum of offerings. I chose the linguini with clams and mussels, while my husband had the pork chop with savory apple compote, polenta and brocholini. Both were delicious ending with clean plates!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Food was good. I had the pork chop with creamy polenta, very good. My wife had the pizza and said it wasn't bad. Im glad I went with the pork chop. The service was good, staff very friendly and kind. Very small intimate setting but it was a cute date night.

Good service, beautiful and cozy place — perfect for dinner! 🍷 The pizza was about 7/10, but it’s definitely worth coming here for the atmosphere and aesthetics.

Excellent service from the host, the waitstaff and our server! Ambiance of the back patio was excellent with heaters to break the chill of the evening. Even saw a chef come out to pick fresh rosemary! The amuse-bouche of breadsticks with herb butter and olives were delicious. We had a pepperoni & mushroom pizza and the Coniglio alla Cacciatore which were both excellent! The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the tiramisu which was one of the reasons for selecting this restaurant as it is my favorite dessert. Not sure if the picture shows it well, but the layers were uneven resulting in bites that did not consist of all three elements. Maybe I received a bad slice but this is a relatively simple dessert to construct and given the quality of service, premium ingredients and beautiful presentation this restaurant clearly prides itself in (and deserves) this piece fell a bit short of expectations. Each layer was delicious, but I could only get a few bites that combined all three. I would absolutely return, but just might try a different dolci.

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!

Beautiful quaint restaurant. Server was awesome and accommodating. Unfortunately, the pasta was VERY undercooked and the vegetables as well were hard. If you go here and order pasta, make sure to request them to cook it longer.

It’s very, very crowded. The patio in the front is small and dog friendly but it’s really chaotic since people are always checking in and lining up. I wasn’t a huge fan of my spaghetti or the broccolini. But the people were nice.

We weren’t particularly impressed with this place. We went for my partner’s birthday, and they actually called in advance to ask for his name—which made us think they had something small planned. But when we were there, nothing happened…they probably shouldn’t have called if there was no intention to acknowledge it. On the plus side, the service was great—our server was really kind and attentive. However, my salad had some noticeably wilted lettuce, which wasn’t ideal. My boyfriend enjoyed his pizza, so if you do go, that might be your best bet (he gave it an 9/10). They also give you a complimentary olives and breadstick appetizer which was cool. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this spot if you only have one dinner in Idyllwild.

Ordered takeout and was told it would be ready in 30 minutes. Ended up waiting almost an hour in the restaurant. The pizzas were cold (even though it’s only a 3-minute walk home), the fish was swimming in oil like canned sardines, and the seafood soup was inedible — it contained what seemed like 3-4 entire heads of garlic. Every spoonful brought up at least 3 large cloves (see photo). Paid $140 for two pizzas, seafood soup, fish dish, and two appetizers. Very disappointing — not worth the wait or the money.

A disastrously disappointing experience! We were really looking forward to our day off dinner in this amazing atmosphere, but not a single dish was worth ordering. The waiters were incredibly slow and kept forgetting everything! But they have one pros - they are dog friendly!
