The patio is dreamy like a little vacation spot. The food is yummy. The wait staff is fantastically kind and gracious. Today the live accordion music was sublime!

Hot latte on wine glass was unexpected besides that everything was decent, certainly not bad but not great either. I mean for food because we did not drink

All dishes prepared with fresh ingredients and homemade pasta. Wine selection perfect for good offerings. Staff super friendly and check in appropriately as not too disturb the great experience. Second visit and always a must if you love italian food. Highly recommended!

Lunch with my family in the outside patio was lovely. Seven of us enjoyed a variety of great dishes. Service was wonderful with a very friendly and attentive waiter.

A taste of Italy in Santa Monica. We tried the artichoke salad, the red pepper pomodoro soup. Had the contadina, bologna and pastrami sandwiches. Not a fan of focaccia but the sandwiches were served on the thinnest, crispiest most delicious focaccia i ever tasted. Everything was delicious and very light. And the espresso coffee was a perfect ending to a perfect Sunday afternoon lunch on their outdoor patio. Highly recommend.

Delicious food. Beautiful outdoor seating. Great service. I had the Monday night pasta special with a glass of Super Tuscan. Delish!

Our serve was the worst server I've had. Didn't come around to check on u. Never asked us for more drink orders after the first round. I was mistaken on a dish since it looked different than the last time we were there so she just took it and never came back to check on the order. With the bull, one of us asked if the tip was included and she said no so we were going to add more to the bill. We asked if we could split the bill but she said only 4 credit cards is the max so we were fine with that. We tried to pay the bill in denominations of $110 and mistaken out the rest of the bill on one credit card and then she got upset. Told us it was the machine and basically our fault why the second credit card got the rest of the bill. Just overall the worst experience Iive ever had and have never left a bad review of a restaurant in my life. I

My first time dining at this restaurant and the experience could not have been better. Service was friendly and efficient. The ambience on the patio was relaxed and very pleasant. My friend and I shared a salad and pasta. Portions were more than ample and everything was delicious. In fact, my friend ended up taking home almost half the salad for lunch the next day. We were celebrating a birthday but decided not to have dessert. To our surprise, when the waiter brought our coffee/tea after dinner, it was 'on the house' for her birthday. I definitely will return for both dining in and take-out. My only suggestion would be to expand the menu and offer a fish or chicken option, either as an entree or pasta. Overall, an excellent experience and evening. Thank you, Sogno Toscana!

Family dinner on a Saturday night, with live music. Packed and very noisy, but a good atmosphere and great food as usual.

Beautiful restaurant. Breakfast salmon toast very disappointing. Service non-existent! Had to ask for plates to be cleared and had to go to counter to order 2nd coffee while waitress was sitting at another table enjoying hers!

came here with a few friends and sat in the couch area outside. took around 15 minutes for the waitress to come and take our order and it took a bit to get our food. i was pretty underwhelmed with the farro bowl with tuna. some of the farro wasn’t cooked and so it was just dry rice essentially. my friend got pizza that she said lacked flavor. And we got an aperol spritz but the waitress didn’t mention that they don’t carry aperol and so a different drink was used to make it and it was extremely bitter.

One of my very favorite restaurants. The food is consistently great. The service and environment is top quality whether for brunch, lunch or dinner. A wonderful experience

Wow… this place completely stole my heart. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was perfection — warm, inviting, and just the right balance of chic and cozy. I love that they have organic options and every single detail felt so thoughtfully done.

I brought my pitty girl with me, and the fact that it’s dog-friendly made the whole experience even more special. She was so relaxed, and it felt like they genuinely welcomed her instead of just “allowing” dogs, huge plus in my book.

Our waitress was amazing…patient, kind, and took the time to answer all of my questions without ever making me feel rushed. That level of care made the meal even more enjoyable. And the food… immaculate. I still can’t stop thinking about the Truffle Burrata — hands down one of the best things I’ve tasted in ages. Creamy, rich, and just melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

Between the incredible service, the thoughtful menu, and the dreamy ambience, this place is an absolute gem in Santa Monica. I left already excited for my next visit. Highly, highly recommend!
