About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Our name, which means “little dream” in Italian, was chosen by partners Tony Priolo and Ciro Longobardo because it had always been their dream to open a restaurant of their own. “The restaurant fits our personal goal to get to the heart of Italian wine and food,” says executive chef Priolo. “You go to Italy for simple food prepared by hand with local ingredients. We wanted to bring that experience to Chicago.”

Piccolo Sogno features a menu of seasonally fresh rustic Italian cuisine. The impressive all-Italian wine list boasts over 400 selections to pair with your meal.

When the weather allows, enjoy al fresco dining in the hidden garden patio-regularly recognized as one of the best in the city.

Starting December 1, Monday-Thursday we'll open at 5 pm rather than 4 pm-just for the winter.

You are welcome to bring a cake to celebrate. If you do, we will charge a $3 fee per person cake-cutting fee.

Beginning January 1, all credit card transactions will be charged a 3% fee.

    We loved this place! We saw it reviewed on NBC5 by the Food Guy and he was totally right with his praise. We liked the lasagna so much we ordered a second one to take home.

    I was seated 40 min after my reservation time and had to sit in a tent. The entire experience was over 3 hours in being there

    My recent visit to Piccola Sogno was frankly disappointing. Despite having a 7:30 PM reservation, we were left waiting for 45 minutes before being seated at 8:15 PM with no explanation or apology. The food was merely adequate. I rarely write negative reviews, typically preferring to simply not return to establishments that disappoint. However, the combination of extended wait times despite having reservations, inattentive service, and overpriced food forces me to share this experience as a warning to other diners.

    Piccolo Sogno is a restaurant where everyone works together to create an outstanding dining experience. The food preparations are excellent and they are even willing to make variations to accommodate individual tastes. Our server Sarah was very pleasant and helpful. The Italian wine list is extensive and quite well priced. We have never had a wine at Piccolo Sogno that we didn't enjoy, and this time was no exception. The even wine manager picked a really nice wine for us that was not on the list. We are also thrilled that they have brought back the mille foglie dessert (an Italian version of a Napoleon), which is one of our favorite desserts anywhere.
