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 always enjoy Piccolo Sogno. They made an error with our order. It was corrected, but that made the evening slightly less enjoyable than our previous experiences there. The food is always well prepared, tasty and nicely presented. Service is attentive, and not overly obtrusive.

    We were there for Restaurant Week and the food and service were Excellent. Two complaints- they put us in a small room that was adjacent to a large party, separated by a small wall. We couldn't hear each other across the small table that we were seated at. Also, when the bill came, the total was ONLY if you paid in cash. Otherwise they added $5.00 if you paid with a CC. Who caries $150 in cash these days in the city? We eat out frequently in the city and have never seen this add-on before. While not that much money, it just seemed that that is not the way you would want to leave the diner after a good dinner.

    Extraordinary service! Food was outstanding. I think this was one of the best Restaurant Week menus I viewed! My husband had the scrumptious meatball appetizer, pork shank and lemon panna cotta! I enjoyed the mista salad. Grilled salmon and also enjoyed the pan a cotta. Always enjoy Piccolo Sogno!
