    It was a fun evening out in the Gaslamp district. Everything at the resturant was pleasant. The food, service and ambiance were excellent, the music entertaining. We each had a salad (beet salad and Caprese a salad) and then split a main of Chicken piccata which was plenty of food. Red wine was great as well as a martini. All in all it a very nice restaurant

    The ambiance is very nice and lovely, there was live piano music. We had meatballs, lobster arancini, and garlic knots for appetizers. We had pizza and braised short ribs for dinner. The food was delicious and the service was great! We will definitely come back here again!!

    I am so grateful for the entire staff and the owner who made my anniversary so special. I would come here everyday if I could. The food is authentic and the flavors are amazing. The live music is such a treat and Tommy Gannon killed it. Our waitress Amber was so kind and respectful. This restaurant holds a special place in my heart. And that’s because they really cared when it meant most.

    We had a lovely meal last night in gas lamp district at Ill Sogno restaurant. The live music with Roman Palacios was outstanding. The scampi diabolo pasta dish was delicious and the sauce was unique and very flavorful as were the crab cakes. Only one drawback the pasta was cut in smaller pieces ( like for children) which made eating them a bit awkward. Tip> All long pasta should be never be cut in the kitchen. Of course we will return for another wonderful evening of live music.
