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.

I love this cozy Italian restaurant. I felt we were a little bit close to the tables around us, but otherwise had a delicious meal in a great space.

We moved tables once because the people next to us were extremely loud. We were moved into a beautiful room, but there was a large party in there who were also loud. It was definitely not easy to have a conversation with older people. We like this restaurant but probably won’t come again if there are more than 4 of us.

Always a great experience at Piccolo Sogno. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. They know true, traditional service not seen at too many establishments anymore. I typically opt for an entree, but ordered the lasagne this time and it was great. My group left full and happy.

Indeed the diamond nestled in the middle of Chicago! From entering the front door, the staff at Piccolo Sogno make you feel like family...their family. Everything on the menu is delicious, flavorful, authentic Italian cuisine (the lasagna is my fav!). Dining here is ALWAYS a treat for us. Tony, Ciro and Alfredo are the BEST of the BEST! Thank you for another wonderful dining experience!

We had a great time!! The service is excellent and the food is delicious. The staff was observant and they were very accommodating of our increase in party size. Everyone should experience this restaurant when they visit Chicago!

We eat here fairly regularly. Atmosphere and service were first rate as always, but on this visit, the meals didn't quite measure up. I ordered the duck, which I had had previously as a special. The first time I had it, it wa first class, this time, it was overcooked, dry and somewhat heavy. My wife was not terribly please with her pasta. Maybe just an off night? I hope so.

As a longtime Piccolo diner and enthusiast, please put touch lamps on the tables. It’s so difficult to read your beautiful menus, Tony and Ciro!! ~Rochelle Lane
