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.

    Service was outstanding. Food was awesome. Caprese salad was delicious. They served it with sun dried tomatoes. We had the Lasagna and the gnocchi. Both were outstanding! Very good wine list. Our dessert was pannacotta with fresh berries. Perfect way to finish our meal. We would definitely go back and look forward to doing so soon.

    The ravioli was terrible. The table was broken and had to be fixed. The food is overpriced- the place is going down hill. But for the outdoor garden this is a mediocre Italian restaurant.

    First time here. Food was excellent. Server was friendly and engaging; however, my appetizer never came out, my wife’s meal came out before mine then went back to kitchen, slow water service, and no check in after main plate presented. Possible there was not enough servers for patrons. I would go back but at the price point I would expect slightly better wait service.

    The food at Piccolo was okay. I wouldn't say I was that impressed based on the price. The gnocchi and ravioli were underwhelming. The best part we had was the bread, balsamic vinegar, and beet salad - this we would recommend.

    It’s a really nice place with a cozy atmosphere, although it’s not very spacious, so it can feel a bit tight. The service was great, though we did feel a bit rushed when placing our order. The food was good—nothing extraordinary, but solid for the price. We especially loved the dessert! Overall, it was a good experience and a nice spot to try something new.

    Sandor at the Omni Chicago highly recommended this restaurant. Very vibrant Saturday evening! I don’t recall seeing an empty table. The servers are AMAZING and very attentive. We shared several plates and enjoyed the stuffed blossom special and the pizza blanco most. Certainly worth a return visit to try new items when I return to Chicago!
