The best solo dining expérience I could have asked for. Ellen and Abby were so sweet, kept me company, and the spaghetti was insanely good. A Negroni to drink and a bartenders favorite - Ferrari to send it off. Thanks lovely ladies!!!!!!!

Visited at lunch on a Saturday - lunch menu in operation, so less options than an evening but still a lovely varied mix. Also good that the full vegan menu is available at this time too (I'm vegetarian) Service was really quick, I didn't feel rushed by any stretch of the imagination, it's just probably the nature of service fresh pasta - I dined alone so this was fine. Dilly potatoes - these were fantastic, strong dill flavour from both fresh dill and dill pickle seasoning; they almost had a salt and vinegar sourness to them, crispy, cooked to perfection and a great portion size for sharing (I took leftovers home) Rosey & Spicy - a really good portion size, pasta was Al dente, sauce was definitely spicy (although not hideously so) with flecks of chilli throughout, it was also topped with brown butter which added to the richness of the creamy sauce. Campari spritz - delicious, definitely tasted the booze in this, made with fresh lemon juice. The pasta felt more American style in that it was absolutely lathered in sauce, but I love that style. Other dishes may not have been this way. All in around $75 for one vegetarian pasta, potato side / starter and a spritz. More on the pricy side for lunch, but the quality spoke for itself. If visiting with friends is recommend ordering a couple of dishes and sharing, as the portions definitely allow for it.

Incredible meal. 10/10. Highly recommend the caesar salad, Garlic Bread, Pepe Malfadine, Lobster Spaghetti, and their Pavlova for dessert. Wonderful service and atmosphere as well. Thank you!

Sorry for the pun but the dreamland Café is a dream. The food is superb and a service is friendly and not pretentious. We went for my daughter's 13th birthday party as a family and had a wonderful time and ate some great fresh well cooked food. Highly recommend but it's really hard to get a reservation. A little on the pricey side, but still felt it was great value.

Was so excited to try it out after all the good stuff I've heard. The service was great but the food was very underwhelming. We got two pasta dishes and both were very watery and laking flavours, not salted at all. Cute spot but nothing special.
Bob
Never disappointed. Pleasantly surprised by flavour complexities. Have to try the brussels sprouts appetizer; excellent dish especially for those that don't fancy the taste of typical sprouts.

Looking forward to going here for a while. Took a few weeks advance booking to get a table at a 415pm time slot. Server was very friendly & attentive. Food was to be honest bland & uneventful. Would not return for that type of quality at that price. Sat outside & traffic volume was awful due to street proximity. Have other local restaurants I enjoy way more, so will avoid a repeat here. Server was the only reason the was some positivity to this meal.

Very tight space. Food was quite salty- not bad but there is better Italian food in the city.

Great experience, as always! They're amazing with kids. We brought our daughter a couple times now and she loves it there!
We've been going to Dreamland for years and have never had a bad experience. The food is always phenomenal and has an elevated home cooked feel, the interior is sophisticated and stunning, the staff is always so kind and helpful, and I literally have nothing bad to say about this place. It's truly my favourite restaurant.

Top notch all around. Great service, strong menu options which force your hand and genuine nice time which is all you can ask for

We had the loveliest dinner at Dreamland Cafe! They had just refreshed their menu so we were excited to try it! My daughter tried the ‘Rosey & Spicy”, I had the Lobster Spaghetti with a side of garlic bread and my cousin had the Mac & Cheese Pasta (and added bacon). Everything was so fresh, beautifully presented and creamy! The portions of shrimp & lobster were generous and cooked perfectly. The food was beautiful, the service was great and the atmosphere was great. Can’t wait to be back!
