   Our server was very rude and abrasive, luckily the beautiful cheese board made up for the terrible service.

   Lunch was superb, as the Contadina Schiacciate is a favorite, with artichokes and other vegetables pressed with melted rubiola cheese in between flaky focaccia. The seasonal salad offered even more artichokes and intensely flavored tomatoes. The patio is delightful, complete with lovely Italian tableware. Service was prompt, but nobody seemed rushed, most diners enjoying the terrific food and convivial atmosphere.

   The space is only OK for indoor dining but charming in their outdoor patio. The sandwiches are outstanding and the lasagna is very good. However, the salads and appetizers seemed a bit pricey. I would have liked more of a selection of pastas. Overall, very good quality food with helpful and charming service but an expensive evening for what should be a casual choice . The tab for one sandwich, 1 salad, 2 glasses of wine and 1 dessert was $160 including tip.

   My party and I all had a great time at Sogno Toscano. The service was excellent. We had a very kind waitress who was friendly and attentive. Everything came out quickly, but they allowed us to take our time and talk. They have a nice outdoor courtyard that was cozy, and it may have been the wine but we warmed up quickly even though it was cold when we got there. We had two great wines and an amazing salumi board. There were lots of different meats and cheeses that were all fresh and flavorful. The lasagna was also great. Very soft but not runny with a good ragú. The pizza was just ok. I prefer the Neapolitan style, but we all had one slice and it made for a nice appetizer. I would not order one as my main dish. I will definitely be going back for dinner but also to pick up some great Italian wines and prosciutto di San Danielle!

   The sandwiches although pricy are very good. Soups were good, but at $17 each , highly priced. Beet Salad with only red beets and crumbled goat cheese for $28 and Fig salad with 1 fig ,7 walnuts and a few pomegranate seeds with arugula was a miss at $26. Service was slow and wait staff come to the table a left empty plates (busboy came later to take them) .It was hard not to notice that wait staff were busy with each other visiting and laughing instead of looking after guest needs. Pizza with under cooked and doughy although sauce and cheese were good.

   We just discovered this charming patio, which could be in the Italian countryside. It’s a lovely retreat from the hustle and bustle. The food was delicious. We loved every moment and have gone back a number of times.

    Restaurant was too noisy. Loud talking from adjacent table caused us to move to other tables not once but twice. Management should have intervened. Food and wine were excellent. Prices are high but quality is worth it. Ordered two orders of lasagna but only one was delivered and waiter and manager were confused when we asked four our second order.
