   They have music Thursday through Sunday, so it’s not as quiet on those days, but the music was lovely and you could still talk. Staff is very nice, but service could be a little more attentive.

   Very quiet, welcoming italian restaurant. Went for dinner and the best ragu ever, which pairs well with their greppicante red wine! Would come back again during lunch and try their samdwiches because their pizza dough and bread on salad were really good.

   Our group of five came here on New Year’s Eve for brunch. We didn’t know what to expect, and could not have been more blown out of the water. There was live music, the enjoyable kind. The food was incredible, and the quality of the ingredients really showed. The overall experience felt like we really were in Italy and we have clocked this as our new favorite place. Loved it. PS. Our waiter told us that they have half-price wine bottles on Monday and Tuesday. Such an incredible value.

   Our server was very rude and abrasive, luckily the beautiful cheese board made up for the terrible service.

   Lunch was superb, as the Contadina Schiacciate is a favorite, with artichokes and other vegetables pressed with melted rubiola cheese in between flaky focaccia. The seasonal salad offered even more artichokes and intensely flavored tomatoes. The patio is delightful, complete with lovely Italian tableware. Service was prompt, but nobody seemed rushed, most diners enjoying the terrific food and convivial atmosphere.

   The space is only OK for indoor dining but charming in their outdoor patio. The sandwiches are outstanding and the lasagna is very good. However, the salads and appetizers seemed a bit pricey. I would have liked more of a selection of pastas. Overall, very good quality food with helpful and charming service but an expensive evening for what should be a casual choice . The tab for one sandwich, 1 salad, 2 glasses of wine and 1 dessert was $160 including tip.

   My party and I all had a great time at Sogno Toscano. The service was excellent. We had a very kind waitress who was friendly and attentive. Everything came out quickly, but they allowed us to take our time and talk. They have a nice outdoor courtyard that was cozy, and it may have been the wine but we warmed up quickly even though it was cold when we got there. We had two great wines and an amazing salumi board. There were lots of different meats and cheeses that were all fresh and flavorful. The lasagna was also great. Very soft but not runny with a good ragú. The pizza was just ok. I prefer the Neapolitan style, but we all had one slice and it made for a nice appetizer. I would not order one as my main dish. I will definitely be going back for dinner but also to pick up some great Italian wines and prosciutto di San Danielle!
