They have a separate vegan menu (ask!) - four pasta dishes and 2 apps. The food was fairly priced, drinks were good, and it was tasty! We’ll be back!

Always the best service and food, it's been super consistent every time I go. I love how intimate and cozy the space is.

Extremely poor customer service. We arrived a few minutes after 4 pm to a completely empty restaurant and was told they could seat us, then they backtracked and said they actually didn’t have any tables. Again, it was 4 pm and the restaurant was empty. No smile, no apology, no accountability for the mistake of saying we could be sat.

The restaurant is super cute inside and the servers are all super sweet. Their chicken Alfredo is extremely good, best I’ve had.

Overall good but disappointing service. They made us wait 25 minutes past our reservation time because the previous party was not leaving the table after paying. Only after I kept prompting the staff, did they finally tell the other party that they need the table.

The pasta was served room temperature, but otherwise tasted very good. I do like the restaurant and wish I had a better experience!

I heard alot about this place so I decided to give it a try.
The portion is small but tasty. The tiramisu is different...not your typical and not my favorite.
The beer options are mostly hoppy ipa. The garlic bread is 4 bites maybe 6, but it's only 1.50.
It is a nice place to try but for the money ? I don't feel that the dollar goes far at this location, you will most likely leave hungry.
It may look like you have a full bowl of food but the dish is shallow and deceiving.

Great meal and service at Dreamland Cafe. Had the Brussels to start and Mac and cheese as a main. Both dishes were delicious and filling. Did not get dessert, so unable to comment. Good atmosphere overall. Would recommend to others.

Had a really nice dinner at this small, popular, dim lit cafe on the main strip in Little Italy. I opted for a delicious spicy rose sauce penne. We ordered one order of garlic bread to share. We were surprised at how small it was. Plus there is no complimentary basket of bread with the meal. Besides that we shared a decadent Pumpkin Spice Crème Brûlée dessert and had some Cappuccino. Again I was surprised at the tiny cups. Although cute it felt like we could have had a larger cup like other restaurants. Good experience overall though. Service was excellent.

The gnocchi was good, but the Cacio E Pepe was undercooked.

Because we're Canadian we're too shy to send it back and tell them this. About halfway through our meal a server came to check on us, but at that point there is no sending the food back. We were shocked that a pasta restaurant didn't get this right.

The coconut cookie ice cream sandwich is worth buying on its own. 10/10 dessert.

Our experience at Dreamland was amazing! Everyone at my table ordered something different, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The vibes were immaculate and I can't wait to go back again. The only thing I'm sad about was that I was too full for dessert, which is a shame because the dessert menu looked AMAZING. Can't wait to go back!

A beautiful day eating on the patio (although it's a very busy street). The menu is smallish but we all found wonderful dishes and shared around the table. The service was attentive as always. A real favourite spot for us.
