Sogno Toscano

If you’re on the Westside, stop by for a cappuccino or a relaxed meal at this breezy all-day café and market along Santa Monica’s Montana Avenue, where high-quality Italian imports combine with a charming string-lit patio for one of the best sandwich experiences we’ve had all year. Made with airy focaccia slices from Culver City’s Bianca Bakery, they come stuffed with the finest prosciutto, mortadella and salami—and though pricey ($25 and up), each handheld can easily feed two. The wine selection and family-style charcuterie plates, naturally, are also excellent, as are the veggie-forward appetizers drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil. For a bit of decadence, order the Deliziosa (aged pecorino, 24-month-aged prosciutto and black truffle sauce).
