First time at this restaurant. Was recommended by a friend. Absolutely loved the food taste and quality. Restaurant owner and waiters were very friendly and provided good service. Enjoyed our dinner. Note that this is a BYO restaurant so remember to bring your own bottle of wine to enjoy with the food.

Always delicious food made even more appealing by the warm hospitable environment of this little suburban restaurant. A place where the personal touch and going the extra mile to meet customers needs is the norm. Anthony and his father John genuinely enjoy what they do and this is palpable in both the food and restaurant ambience.

First time in this unpretentious family run Italian restaurant. The chef owner has trained in some of the better Melbourne restaurants and we were warmly welcome by his dad. The food is simple but very tasty. The pasta is homemade,. I loved the marinaded salmons, the parppadelle with olives and sausage and the Tiramisu The serves are generous and the prices lower than most restaurants. As a bonus it is a BYO restaurant. A great local for us. We’ll be back ❤️

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!
