If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine Sogno is a must. The atmosphere is amazing warm and welcoming and making you feel like you're at home. The food is delicious and the service is wonderful.

Chicken Parm
Caroline D.

Elegant beautiful atmosphere. Tastefully decorated for the holidays. The bread was piping hot and accompanied with a pesto dip oil. The chicken parm was delicious and the special ...rigatoni bolognese made your mouth water. We both tasted with a peril spritzers . The service was perfect, professional and attentive.

I wanted to get to this review as quick as possible while the exceptional experience procured was fresh in my mind! However, as time can do, it got away from me and here I am. We went up to St. Augustine for the weekend of Valentine's Day. I had planned the whole trip down to a tee, but somehow I forgot the most essential part! Before I knew it, it was a few days away from VDay and I had NO restaurant reservations. Prior to the trip, I had made a list of spots in St. Aug that piqued my interest the most and I wanted to try. Sogno was on that list and still had seating available, so I jumped on it! The interior was quite lovely. Posh, but was still inviting. A look that in my mind would be tricky to create. There were ornate chandeliers yet wainscoting adorned the partitions. Pieces of fine art hang on the walls, yet there's a charming antique sideboard used as a wait station. We were seated right in front of a piano. It had a gentleman playing it most of the night creating a swanky yet traditional romantic ambience. I did not catch our waiters' name, but let me just tell you, his service was some of the very best! He was suggestive but not overbearing. Attentive, but in a subtle, classy way. Genuinely felt like fine dining service. My boyfriend and I were both very impressed and extremely pleased. I ordered the Caprese salad right away. It had tomatoes and fresh burrata on a bed of arugula that was drizzled in truffle oil. DE-LISH! I think its terribly notable when a chef can take such a simple dish you've had a bunch of times and re-create it in a way that has you saying "WOW" to every bite. That seems to be their bread and butter here at Sogno. Speaking of bread and butter - Sogno's is STELLAR. The bread tasted so fresh and came out piping hot. It was a rustic loaf. Ultra crispy crust on the outside, and unbelievable softness on the inside. The butter that came with it had a hint of garlic which I absolutely adored. Choosing my entrée was a tough decision! After much debate, I ended up picking the Rigatoni Filetta. Braised, tender, filet mignon chunks served in a tomato herb sauce over a bed of rigatoni. Chef's kiss! My honey had Pan Seared Cod served with pancetta lemon risotto and grilled broccolini. Of course, I had to taste his but preferred my dish. Being that everything we sampled throughout the night was utterly divine, dessert was a must! We were so stuffed; I got it to go. However, my indulgence took over and it didn't even make it to the car! Their tiramisu was so light, decadent, and delicious it really never stood a chance! I enjoy the atmosphere Sogno offers immensely. I loved watching the owners bring each customer's plate to their table. They exuded pride and relished in the personal touch that was being brought with each delivered dish. This was the best Valentine's dinner we have experienced all around. Everything was perfect. The ONLY complaint I would have about Sogno is that it's not where I live in Orlando! Sogno is a rare gem. If you find yourself in their area, stop in for an impeccable and memorable meal you'll be raving about how I have.

Octopus appetizer
Leah K.

I dined at Sogno last night with my husband and his family, a party of 7 including one four-year-old. The restaurant was surprisingly empty for a July 3rd evening, with only two other tables occupied when we arrived at 7 PM. Sogno has a nice ambiance, clearly geared towards finer dining, with a welcoming atmosphere following its recent renovation. Our waitress was prompt in taking our drink orders; my rosé was enjoyable as were the dirty martinis, but the old fashions ordered by my sister-in-law and husband were overly sweet and had to be sent back--something unprecedented for my husband in our eight years together (for food or drink). They tasted like simple syrup. For appetizers, we shared a delightful watermelon salad special and octopus, which is a personal favorite of mine. The octopus portion was generous, though the size of the tentacle was a bit off-putting visually, it was well-cooked and tasty. The meatballs were praised, while the fried calamari received mixed reviews. The mussels were also a hit, served in a delicious spicy tomato broth - only complaint is the crostini's it was served with were not a significant enough vehicle to sop up the incredible broth. The bread service, available upon request, was a highlight for me, surpassing the rest of the meal outside of the watermelon salad. Served warm with a crunchy exterior & soft interior, and ended up ordering about 5 rounds haha. Moving on to the entrees, the branzino was disappointingly salty, tasting too much like the sea, and came with a small portion of green beans (thankfully, they accommodated my dairy allergy by omitting the polenta cake). The lamb chop was undercooked--surprisingly, my husband felt fine the next morning--and the gnocchi was unfortunately very hard. We were starving so cleaned our plates, but I'll be honest, both dishes were terrible. On the flip side, the cod and lobster ravioli dishes were enjoyed by those who ordered them! Our overall impression is that Sogno is overpriced considering the quality and portion sizes, especially compared to other nearby restaurants. Despite the pleasant ambiance and some good dishes, the inconsistencies in food preparation and flavor leave us with no plans to return. 3 stars is generous.

Chicken Parmesan
Mark H.

Fantastic meal at Sogno with server, Lily. She was excellent -- sweet, patient and able to describe dishes and drinks very well to help us make final selections. Wedge, Caesar and Caprese salads were all solid. And for entrees, the Oxtail, Osso Bucco, Chicken Parm, and Cioppino were all off-the-charts tasty. It was pretty dead on a Thursday night and this place is better than that! St. Augustine has a great Italian restaurant here and needs to give it some more love. We will definitely be back!

Table

Went here for dinner before a show at the St Augustine Amphitheater. It is a cute place! We had reservations but were running a little late, but they were very accommodating in making sure we still had a table, and the service in general was lovely. We started with drinks - i had a Vino Rosa Spritz and it was fantastic. My friend had Tramonto Toscano followed by a Mediterraneo. Each of these drinks tasted super fresh and the right amount of sweet. They were like drinking summer. They brought out bread, and at first I was excited broke off a piece and steam came out. However, it turns out the middle of the bread was ice cold - literally. That was a bummer but not a huge deal. For an appetizer, we had fried calamari. It was very good. Came with lots of peperoncini - which I love. For dinner I had the linguini with clams. The clams were pretty good, and the garlic bread on the side was decent. But the linguini itself and the broth it was served in had no flavor at all. My friends meal was redeeming. She got the Bistecca alla Fiorentina. The steak was properly cooked and well flavored. Green beans were on point and very good! Smoked confit potatoes were not for me - the smoked flavor was weird on potatoes, but she liked them! One downside (as is expected in this area) is the parking situation. The parking lot is tiny. Street parking is very limited. Overall, I debated between 3 and 4 stars for this - but I found myself thinking I'd still definitely go back for, at the very least drinks, and would likely try some other menu items since the app and one entree was good, as well as excellent service. So definitely 4 stars.

Food is good but limited selection and pricey. Service was good also. Looks like when crowded the ambiance would be very cool. Quiet when we were there early.

Delicious food excellent service wonderful ambiance! Our 2nd visit. Definitely recommend for intimate dinner or a celebration.

Simply, Amazing!…read more Llama is among the best dining experiences I've ever had. I would give 6 stars if that were possible! The food was super tasty and beautifully presented. My ceviche Classico was fresh, fragrant, and delicious. Pro tip: get the hot peppers on the side. The service was great. Thanks, Alondra. The star of this evening was the immersive and authentic atmosphere. I felt like I could be hanging out at a cafe in Peru. I would not have been surprised to see a morochuco tie up his horse, and sidle in to enjoy some pisco and anticuchos at the bar!

We arrived at Llama on Anastasia Island during a storm at 4:55 p.m. and stood outside under the tin…read moreoverhang while dirty water dripped on us. The lady at the bar and two waiters could clearly see us through the windows, yet instead of opening four minutes early, they simply watched us stand there in the rain. When they finally opened, we walked into an empty restaurant. We were literally the first customers there and the place was completely empty. We asked to be seated and were told by the hostess that reservations only were accepted. We then asked if we could at least sit at the bar and eat there, but she said the bar was only for people waiting and no food would be served there. What makes this even more frustrating is that when you drive by, there is nothing indicating reservations are required. We discovered the restaurant while passing through the area and were excited to try it. The flavors may be unique, but the attitude felt unnecessarily pretentious for a restaurant that should make more of an effort to accommodate walk ins, especially when the dining room was empty.

We took an almost hour long drive from south side to Vilano beach to try this restaurant we learn…read moreabout my word of mouth. The restaurant is located in the Hyatt hotel and has complimentary valet parking. We went for a Mother's Day dinner. The ambience was classy with a live pianist and upscale decor. Our party of three shared a Petit seafood plateau with oysters, shrimp, cocktail crab claws, poke tuna, accompaniments. The food was fantastic! We enjoyed CAFECITO-CRUSTED SALMON FILET with creamy risotto, forest mushrooms, miso crema BRANZINO, artichokes, citrus, capers, castelvetrano olives, sauce verde and ATLANTIC SWORDFISH with mousseline potatoes, broccolini, crispy capers, pan jus. Dessert was equally decadent and delicious with a cupcake shaped tres leches cake and dark chocolate treat with berries. It's worth the drive to Vilano beach!

Our planned night from Jacksonville to St. Augustine didn't go exactly as planned as we were coming…read morefor sunset and drinks at the rooftop bar and then dinner at 8:00. Unfortunately the weather decided otherwise. The weather was terrible and the rooftop closed. We opted to continue with our evening as one of our friends lives in Vilano. I had visited the original restaurant many moons ago but was looking forward to the new location despite it being in a hotel. I am a vegetarian and the options for those are very limited. And I get it. It's a steakhouse. My friends all love steaks. Between the four in our party we had the bread which was out of this world and we ended up ordering a second order, the goat cheese terrine which was tasty, chopped Salad minus the bacon was delicious,Caesar salad for one lady, the mashed potatoes and they were not great, the seasonal vegetables and those were awesome, the Brussel sprouts which were very good but a skimpy portion, a filet steak review was it was ok, steak mofongo and review was ok, and lastly the vegetable pasta and again review was ok. I personally just had the sides as I hate onion and I could not get a vegetarian pasta without onion. The pros are everyone on the staff was wonderful! Bartenders, our server Jonny, hostess, valet guys, etc. The cons are the chairs are cheap and uncomfortable, the space is dressed up a bit for a hotel but still a hotel restaurant, some of the patrons had on shorts and ball caps. For the menu prices a dress code should be enforced and more comfortable seating available. I still want to check out the sunset rooftop and the bread is worth another trip. Other than that, I have other places in SA I lean toward.
