We went because we had a good food giftcard, unfortunately we couldn't use it due to a swap in restaurant management. The restaurant is quaint and a bit dated but has a special charm. The food is really beautiful, particularly the ragu papardelle. Beware that we could only get coke or mineral water, that's about the extent of the drink list. There's a bottle shop a few steps a way and you can byo.

This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants, but the food was a little off the usual quality that I have come to expect, just a few corners that were "cut". Perhaps it's January and people are still in holiday mode.

The staff were friendly and pleasant, however, it has changed owners since our last visit, and the chief is not as good. My cannelloni was more like a crepe, and the pork and sage filling looked and tasted more like a bolognese. My partner's meal was sitting quite an oily sauce. Not sure we will be going back!!

It was our second visit in a week. Pre Xmas is a busy time for diners and restaurants. The restaurant was full but the service was still spot on. Our meals were excellent… again! Il Sogno is BYO and that’s a plus as well.

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.
