Il Sogno

We love I’ll Sogno - best authentic Italian fare in the east of Melbourne! It’s a real family affair with chef, Anthony G and host, dad John, leading the way. As a BYO venue, it also keeps the focus on the superb quality of the menu offerings!

Absolutely excellent evening as always - food great, service great.

John needs to work on his jokes 😂 Staff efficient and friendly. Looked like they enjoyed their job.

Amazing service and food was good. Highly recommend to others

A really pleasant night out at a local restaurant with wonderful Italian food and excellent service. What more can you ask for?

Just a great local restaurant. Interesting and good menu and Anthony is a great chef. BYO is a real plus.

Great food, a relaxed comfortable atmosphere and friendly competent service.

Crowded and noisy due to the festive period but still a good dining experience.

Excellent food and fantastic service with a smile 😁. Recommended

A wonderful experience! Local, intimate and the food was superb. Will definitely be back.

Great to go back after a long time with my family to celebrate my 55th birthday and great to see John again! 🎉❤️

Venue,food and staff excellent. Nearby work on tramlines was a minor nuisance.

Great food and service. Noise level made hearing difficult for those of us with hear loss. Sound reverberates off hard flat surfaces.

We were all very happy with our meals The professional service from John and his team support Anthony’s outstanding food for a great night out

Great food and fabulous service. Definitely worth a visit. Will be back

2 nd visit to this restaurant. Service is very good and very efficient . Table was nicely setup and spot on time ! 😊

Amazing food, like eating from an Italian family kitchen Bellisima

Excellent meal and ambience. We had a most enjoyable night. Wait staff also very attentive but not too intrusive.

Staff were very polite and informative about dishes and food was delicious.

Amazing food and exceptional service - we will be back soon!

Great experience. Always happy to revisit. The food was excellent, and the young staff very pleasant and efficient.

Very enjoyable dining experience. Great ambience and authentic Italian food.

I cannot rate Il Sogno highly enough. What a hidden gem. Hopefully the people that hand out hats will take the time to visit this place, because they deserve one at least. The lamb is exquisite, the house made pasta is superb and the service is excellent, whilst maintaining a friendly and low key approach. The menu shows restraint, yet offers something for everyone. I couldn't fault the experience.

Great local restaurant, the service & Italian food are excellent.

Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Staff were great. Could not fault

Very nice food , Maddie the waitress done a great job, not only I shook her hand when I left but I gave a hug and a kiss, I took my wife and 2 friends. And Maddie said it's was a pleasure being your waitress tonight it was nice the way she looked after us. The food was excellent, but also we look at good service and Maddie did just that , so overall was a great night highly recommend. Mark

I enjoyed my visit to Il Sogno. The atmosphere was very friendly & the food very good. I had an excellent risotto & my companion some delicious pasta. I will definitely visit again - it is a jewel in an area that does Italian food the way it should be. Elaine.

The service was especially impressive and the room was reasonably quiet despite being a full house. The choice was excellent and Italian food is so yummy.
