    Amazing food, although we did dine outside and I felt that it would have been better to be on the inside due to the weather.

    Hi, I thought service was really great, server was on top of it and course our meal nicely. We had the Caesar salad and it was really good. Then we got pizza 50/50 (pepperoni & mushroom/broccolini & smoke mozzarella) I thought pizza was great as well, simple flavors done really well. Our pastas were salty, I got the carbonara and I know that this dish is usually salty because of the guanciale but the flavor was not there. We also got the lemon chicken with capers, I thought this pasta could of been better with less capers it was overwhelming of capers. I love that for dessert they got me a happy birthday card and dessert on the house which is really nice thank you for that. I really enjoyed my experience here it is really nice. Hope to see you again

    This extraordinary Italian cuisine restaurant, that saved the atmosphere of a real Italian place, with all the best test of the food that you would have in Italy if you are visiting this country. But we are talking about a restaurant that is located in Iddlywild county, LA. So, me and my husband feel today, that we were in Italy when we had dinner. The food is very fresh and tasty in this restaurant, The service is very friendly and it is easy to make a reservation. We were very satisfied with food and service.

    Delightful meal. The Carpaccio was delicious. The salad was good. The eggplant and lasagna were nicely done. Since it was cold outside, we opted for sitting in the lounge - it was wonderful by the fire, great ambiance. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The espresso martini was well executed.

    Incredible food. Outstanding service! Cannot recommend this highly enough. The salmon was out of this world. Authentic carbonara-not an Americanized, cream - laden pile of pasta. Homemade pasta was light, airy, perfectly cooked. Bravi, tutti!

    Food was very good. When asked for extra Parmesan it was like Kraft in a cup. Not fresh grated. Sat on back patio only customers in back service was okay staff very friendly. No overhead heater under awning but they did provide lap blankets. Lighting very dark. Recommend using front porch seating for dinning this time of year as overhead heaters provide better warmth. Overall great place to eat in Idyllwild .
