Did a Google search for Italian restaurants in Staten Island and Il Sogno came up as one of the top 10. I can actually say we Finally found A very nice Italian restaurant with great food AND service in Staten Island! The ambience, the decor, the Italian music, all added to the wonderful dining experience. The service was on point. We were not rushed, there was a small pause between courses, which is one of the things that I liked about this restaurant . There is nothing worse than just finishing the last bite of your appetizer and boom out comes your dinner. Another thing about the excellent service is that they do not clear any dishes off the table until everyone at your table has finished eating. Very classy! As I have learned from my father, who was maître d' at a very upscale restaurant in Manhattan for over 40 years, it is a BIG no no to clear dishes while people are still eating at your table. It makes it very uncomfortable for the last person that is still eating. Now let's get to the food. We started with fried calamari. Crispy fresh and delicious. For dinner, I had the Pappardelle Burrata . Delicious tomato sauce and the Pappardelle were cooked to perfection, Al dente . After dinner, we had cappuccino and shared a piece of Italian cheesecake. It was Delicious. Il Sogno is definitely a great restaurant .
