  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    Loved this restaurant. Food is delicious and good size portions. Wait staff friendly efficient and not intrusive. Have a Negroni coattail. Best around. Calamari bit salty but good and very generous portion. Very wide menu for all Italian food lovers. We shared entree after large calamari appetizer. Very graciously split dish for us Love the dining experience here.

    Great food and overall experience. Restaurant was pretty loud but there isn't much that could be done about that. 10/10 would recommend and will be back for sure!

    The food and service were excellent. We just returned from a visit to Italy and while we had some excellent meals there, the food we had at Piccolo Sogno was equally good. We are frequent customers and will return soon.

    Overall, the experience was ok. However, don’t wear sneakers to this restaurant unless you want to be sat halfway in the bar and the dining room basically in the walkway of an aisle. The hostess stepped out from behind the counter to look at our shoes, though we were dressed nice. I found this to be a bit degrading being that my shoes don’t dictate how my credit card works. Spoiler alert: Hermes and Ferragamo let us in earlier that day to shop, dressed the way we were but Piccolo had a problem. It’s a city restaurant and we walked there. But next time I know that I should be wearing heels and opt to valet my car…
