   This is our second time dining at Sogno. For a special occasion, it is one of the better St. Augustine restaurants. Calamari, one of the tastiest we have eaten. Their special goat cheese salad was wonderful. Entrees…the Cod and Veal dishes that we each had, were delicious. Sogno was nicely decorated for the holidays. The wait staff was pleasant and efficient. Will definitely be dining here again.

   We were disappointed. Ordered two fillets. Send them both back, tasted more like sirloins and just yucky. Switched to chicken parm. I’d look elsewhere in St. Augustine, if I were you.

   Oxtail Ragu was outstanding as the main course, Golden Beet salad and Mussels were delicious starters paired with a great red wine selection makes this a sure return. The owner also came around and talked with us, the music played was soft making a nice ambiance.

   Having walked over the Bridge of Lions & down the busy street to celebrate NYE dinner with my family of 5, our first impression was a great one. Beautiful space, festive yet perfect lighting and just the right amount of energy kicked up a notch by the keyboard player in main dining room. We were greeted & seated promptly & had superb service throughout the evening by Lilli. It seems they had a special NYE menu that likely featured their fan favs as it was more limited than the published menu. They had nice salad options & we ordered 2 specials Apple/gorgonzola, 1 roasted beet and 1 capresse. We considered them more like salad entrees for their size and price @ $18 and except for the capresse where the tomatoes lacked flavor, everybody really enjoyed the freshness and flavors of their salads. A dinner salad option would be a good add for those wanting a smaller sized salad to complement the meal. Each of us selected a different entree of linguine & clams, chicken parmigiana, veal florentine, pan seared cod, oxtail papparedelle. Oxtail & cod were the best dishes overall, however, the cod was to be served with broccolini and fingerling potatoes (in lieu of the pancetta risotto due to allergy) & was substituted with green beans & without explanation from the staff but the beans were good. The remaining 3 dishes had a nice presentation yet lacked overall flavor. Overall Sogno is 5 stars for their space, ambience, service, and their food & wine menus which on our evening had many of the classics one might expect. With refinement to a few of the dishes, they could hit the mark for their mission to serve delish and affordable food, however, at their price points, this would not be a place we would eat weekly but we would certainly give them another try when back in St Augustine.

   The fillets lacked flavor, and were chewy. I almost asked for a A1 steak sauce to help but at $49 it shouldn’t need any seasoning or sauce.

   Enjoyed a great dinner here - first time in St Augustine. Service was terrific and our food was very good ! Chicken parm was especially good. Lobster ravioli was also good. Meatballs for appetizer were delicious ! Background piano was a tray for a relaxing and enjoyable evening.

   When downtown St Augustine was like a zoo, and impossible to make dinner reservations Sogno had seating. Enjoyed our dinner!

    Solid Italian restaurant, with some decent unique dishes. Service was good, especially liked the bread and meatball appetizer. Salad wine selection, they had one special the evening we were there. Will return at some point.
