“ Wow. Just wow! Absolutely amazing experience! We were lucky enough to have the amazing Cindy as our waitress and she did not disappoint. She was not only friendly and knowledgeable but she had the best recommendations! The entire experience from the beginning to end was one of a kind and seriously one of the best overall restaurant experiences I've EVER had! I am Italian, I've been to Italy, I love my food and you can tell the owners got it right, down to every bite! My husband and I ordered: Appetizer: *Arugula and baked pear salad to share * Appetizer special of the night which was an amazing scallop bake situation in a large shell. Main Course: * I got the cacio e pepe tableside out of the cheese wheel with garlic shrimp. The whole reason I wanted to come here was for this and it was 10 out of 10 you must order it! *my husband got the tagliatelle funghi which was really good too! Dessert: We split the tiramisu and pistachio Gelato. Both were 10 out of 10! Bottom line, we will be back! ”

“ Fancy dress up restaurant in Wheaton. Mostly Italian and American food. People are well dressed but some were wearing informal clothes too. It's seemed a little too loud in there It was very cold inside, wish they can turn up the temperature. Food was delicious. Even their desert was great. The service is great and the lady serving us seemed to truly enjoy what she does. Nice to see that in a restaurant. ”
“ Excellent food and service. The atmosphere is just what you would expect from a cozy family owned Italian restaurant which is located on the second floor above an ice cream parlor. The vibe is very sexy and sophisticated, yet cozy and welcoming for a family. The food is wonderful. Can’t say enough how wonderful the homemade food is here. The menu offers everything you would expect including some excellent recipes created by their chef. The service is amazing. That’s all I can say. Whether you are looking for a date night spot, celebrating something special with friends, or looking for an elevated experience with the family, this is the spot. ”
“ This is such a beautiful restaurant! I came here for a bridal shower, and we had the whole rooftop area reserved. It was gorgeous, and the staff was so friendly and so helpful with anything we needed. The food and drinks were incredible, probably the best pasta I've had in my life. I live over an hour away, and I'll definitely be back for date nights. ”
“ 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. ”
