We have visited Il Sogno several times and the quality still continues to amaze us. It is a sensibly limited menu so what they do is excellent. Service is friendly, aware and not fawning. The physical presence is not glamorous but comfortable and understated. Prices are about the same as comparable venues. More expensive than pubs but you get what you pay for. We will return, with friends and will spread the word. Great chefs and good management.

Food reasonable, service poor. Place was packed, seems to have a strong local following. Suspect we got bumped from our booked quiet corner table for a regular.

Lovely meal, lots of options/choices. Owner very welcoming! Some lovely background music would elevate the ambiance. The young waiter could do with some hospitality education: did not understand the process of clearing dishes whilst one person was still eating, attention was not paid to which meal/cutlery was for each of us. A very lovely local dinner was served. Thank you! We will return!
