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.

    We waited a half hour with reservation, sat at a trio of two tops inches apart, and waited a full hour for our entrees. The food was very good when it finally arrived.

    I recently visited piccolo Sogno restaurant and had a fantastic experience! The sea bass was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were rich and flavorful. The pizza had a perfect crust and was topped with fresh ingredients. The service was exceptional, with the staff being both friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a great place for a cozy dinner. Overall, I highly recommend this Italian restaurant for anyone craving delicious and authentic Italian cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

    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.
