“Came here with my girlfriend for an early valentines dinner.”

Came here with my girlfriend for an early valentines dinner. & wow did i absolutely love this place! Our server was absolutely amazing and he informed us all on the drinks and food! He was so sweet and his service was absolutely incredible. The drinks did not disappoint with the alcohol, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful. Big bonus, the owners are two women who are married to one another, and it definitely made us feel more comfortable being there as a lesbian couple. Thankyou for the amazing time! Will be back

First time here with my significant other. The food was delicious especially for dessert 🍨 our waiter/server was a young African American male, didn’t catch his name but he was very sweet and kind. We would come here again, wonderful experience . We drove here from East Side Chicago 😇

“We had the most amazing experience celebrating our son's 10th birthday at Sogno Wheaton .”

We had the most amazing experience celebrating our son's 10th birthday at Sogno Wheaton ! He had been talking for weeks about wanting the cheese pasta wheel experience — and he was so excited to finally feel “ready for a fancy dinner.” Our server Tiffany took such wonderful care of us from start to finish. Our son loved his kiddie cocktail (so grown up!) and was surprised with a lemon gelato birthday dessert that made his night. The star of the show was absolutely the cacio e pepe, tossed tableside in a massive parmesan wheel — every bite was perfection. My husband and I shared the tiramisu, which Tiffany said was made with love by her mother in law. It was probably the best I ever had, next to my husband's. If you’re looking for incredible food and above-and-beyond service, we can’t recommend Sogno enough.

“THE FOOD You're served bread as an appetizer and there is oil on the table.”

THE FOOD You're served bread as an appetizer and there is oil on the table. I don't know if butter is supposed to come with it but I asked for some- I think they should provide a more robust oil or butter at the least with it, otherwise it's a little dry. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe, which is tossed tableside in a giant wheel of cheese and topped with cracked black pepper. The portion is quite large but I finished every noodle. My friend ordered the same but topped with shrimp which was a nice addition. THE VIBES We chose this as the restaurant for our friend's surprise 40th birthday celebration. The restaurant was clean, well organized and most importantly- beautiful! The faux wisteria adorning the walls adds a whimsical Italian touch in the heart of Wheaton. The staff was nice and accommodating, particularly when we explained we had a reservation after dinner so we were on a tight schedule. They brought our food promptly, provided a candle for the cake and even took our pictures, all well within the time frame we had. I can't wait to be back!

“On Sat Aug 30, 2025 my son treated my wife and I and my mom to dinner on the roof top at Sogno.”

On Sat Aug 30, 2025 my son treated my wife and I and my mom to dinner on the roof top at Sogno. The roof top was wonderful with beautiful overhead flowers, a warm sunny breeze and views of Wheaton. Immediately our server Rose introduced herself and got us sparkling water with lemon slices. Within a few minutes warm bread was served to be dipped in olive oil, Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Rose helped us with our wine selection, Mastrojanni, a flavorful dry red wine. She described the specials and answered a few questions then gave us time to chat, drink wine and make our selections. My wife and son started with the Beet Salad and I had the pear and pistachio salad. Both were great! For the entrees, my wife and son chose the filets with asparagus and roasted potatoes. My mom and I had the Chicken Marsala and requested it be served on risotto instead of rice, for a small additional charge. The filets were perfectly cooked to the requested Medium. The Chicken Marsala was a large serving of two large chicken portions, wild mushrooms, mascarpone, onions and delicious risotto. For dessert, my son (who can’t have gluten) and wife had the flourless chocolate cake. My mom had the tiramisu and I had the ricotta pistachio cake. All 3 were excellent! Our server Rose was wonderful! Very warm and friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable of the food and wine. We all agreed that Rose seems to truly love her work and shares that love with her guests. Overall, a fantastic 5 thumbs up dining experience. 👍👍👍👍👍

On August 10th, I hosted my daughters’s bridal shower at Sogno . I worked with Tiffany to ensure the event was just like we wanted and it exceeded my expectations. Everything was great; food, drink and service. Tiffany was great and made sure all the little details I wanted were met. Food was fabulous. I would highly recommend this venue for any special event. Thank you Tiffany and staff.

“We returned to IL Sogno because our previous visits had been so positive and there’s a lot to be said for consistency.”

We returned to IL Sogno because our previous visits had been so positive and there’s a lot to be said for consistency. Friday night’s visit returned the same illustrious experience. The ambiance is beautiful and celebratory. The walls and ceiling on the roof are festooned with bougainvillea flowers and the open air views enhanced the mild summer night. We began with an Unshackled Cabernet (excellent-$17), and a non-alcoholic blueberry mojito. These are great choices and worth the price. A fried calamari appetizer was delicate and flavorful. Our friends ordered the special, a salmon risotto with olives, tomatoes and a cauliflower glaze - and a braised short rib vinzio. My wife ordered the spicy piggy (a large pork tenderloin) and I had the cacio E Peppe which is linguine bathed in a large Parmesan wheel creating an explosively flavorful buttery dish. I added shrimp and cracked pepper. We all shared and enjoyed every meal and every single bite. The only downer happened when I ordered a second glass of the Unshackled Cab and I complimented the server on the speed with which it was delivered. This server ( not our waiter ) responded with a very crude joke about his girlfriend not liking how fast he is. We were like, huh?? Anyway, Jason our waiter did a fantastic job ( would’ve been 5 stars if not for the crude joke). With Kilwin’s around the corner we decided to dessert there. This is the best restaurant in Wheaton in our opinion and that’s saying a lot given all the great options. If you haven’t tried Sogno you’ve got to make it happen. Bon appetit!

“What a gem in the heart of downtown Wheaton.”

What a gem in the heart of downtown Wheaton! Il Sogno isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. The moment I walked in, I was charmed by the cozy vibe, and heading upstairs added a fun little sense of adventure (yes, I felt slightly cooler taking those steps like I was in on a secret). Now, let’s talk about Rose—my bartender and hands-down one of the most charismatic, upbeat, and genuinely welcoming people I’ve ever met behind a bar. She instantly made the place feel like home. Honestly, if Rose ran for mayor of Wheaton, I’d vote twice. For dinner, I went with the braised short rib risotto, and wow. Talk about comfort in a bowl. It was rich, flavorful, and just the right portion to leave me satisfied but still dreaming about it later (pun absolutely intended). Every single staff member I encountered was kind, warm, and clearly loved what they were doing. It makes such a difference. If you're looking for great food, top-tier vibes, and service that makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time—Il Sogno is your spot.

“Absolute perfection.”

Absolute perfection. I have been dining here for 5 or so years and have yet to have one dish or dessert below exceptional. Outstanding doesn’t say enough!
