  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighbourhood 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.

    It’s so expensive for what really is. The ingredients could be much better for this price. Also they offer to you sparkling water, but guess what, is 10 dollars for the single bottle of sparkling water.

    Great dinner with excellent flavors. The short rib was more like a pot roast.

    Piccolo Sogno is always a wonderful and delicious experience and yesterday was every bit of what we expected in going there. Delicious food tailored to our preference. Wonderful and festive ambience and service. We had the antipasto platter, octopus and shrimp salad and chicken with capers. All was beautifully presented and fresh and tasty. Thank you once again for the experience.

    Everything was wonderful! I noted food allergies in my reservation, and the waiter was aware when we arrived. He made careful suggestions for those diners and worked with the kitchen to ensure their food was safe. Overall a fantastic dinner.
