Our Menu

Start with our antipasti — garlic knots baked to order with garlic butter and parmesan, bruschetta with marinated heirloom cherry tomatoes and fiori di latte, truffle mushroom risotto with arborio rice and wild mushrooms, or our chef's homemade meatballs on mascarpone polenta.

Fresh salads include the Tuscan Salad with baby greens, strawberries, candied walnuts, and champagne vinaigrette, the Classic Caesar with romaine hearts and baby kale, and the Caprese with fiore di latte and heirloom tomatoes.

Our pizzas feature the Neopolitan with blistered cherry tomatoes and fresh basil, Smoked Pepperoni with Ezzo pepperoni, and the Garden with bell peppers, mushrooms, asparagus, and sundried tomato pesto.

Primi piatti include Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine, our famous Rigatoni Bolognese with beef and pancetta ragu, Portobello Mushroom Ravioli, Shrimp Scampi, Carbonara, and Lobster Ravioli in saffron lobster cream sauce. For secondi, choose from Baked Chilean Salmon or a 14oz Prime New York Steak with truffle fries.

The dinner menu expands with additional antipasti such as Fritto Misto with calamari and calabrian chili aioli, pan-sautéed Blue Crab Cakes with lemon caper remoulade, Burrata and Prosciutto di Parma, herbed focaccia with rosemary and sea salt, and golden Arancini risotto croquettes.

Salad offerings grow to include Beets and Formaggio Di Capra with golden and red beets, citrus fruit, and goat cheese, plus The Original Wedge with bacon, pickled onion, and blue cheese dressing.

Pizza selections add the Diavola with nduja sausage and bacon, the Soppressata with spicy Italian salami and honey drizzle, and il Sogno's Signature pizza with Italian sausage, Ezzo pepperoni, and meatballs.

Wine, cocktails, and a happy hour menu are also available. Ask your server about our current wine list and seasonal specials.

Each evening, il Sogno Italiano's stage comes alive with San Diego's top musicians. Enjoy jazz, piano, acoustic, Latin, and blues performances while you dine.

Entertainment runs Sunday through Thursday from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM, and Friday through Saturday from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The live music is a beloved part of the il Sogno experience — many guests come back again and again for the atmosphere it creates.
