About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • 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.

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.

    Authentic Italian menu offered by servers who know what they are talking about. All prepared perfectly. The garden is a principal feature - a beautiful environment which also helps to mitigate the conversation sound level.

    You can't go wrong with the patio at Piccolo Sogno. It's one of Chicago's best for outdoor dining. The food is consistently good, and the staff operates as a well-oiled machine. Everything is freshly prepared, and parking is on the premises. It's a Chicago classic.

    Terrific menu, and adaptable for gluten and dairy free. Outstanding food. Excellent service. We ate inside, due to the heat, and it was quiet and comfortable. Friendly and knowledgeable service. Fair prices for the quality.

    Loved the atmosphere. Definitely sit on the patio. Lovely. Like the ability to order appetizer portions of the pasta dishes. Great way to try a couple. Wine was great and reasonable priced with great options. But the food was just fair. Pasta was overcooked and greasy.

    Once again, our afternoon at Piccolo Sogno was outstanding! Felt like we were transported to Italy to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday with our family. The stuffed squash blossoms were a perfect starter…and my whole roasted branzino with citrus sauce and charred asparagus was to die for! I tasted other people’s dishes and each one was better than the last. Our server, Sara, had only been there a few days but she seemed like a seasoned professional…and her family came from the same area as my husband’s which made everything that much sweeter. The patio was beautiful as usual…so we didn’t even mind the heat! So glad this place is still what it has always been…GREAT!🥰

    Lovely evening. Great service. Delicious food. The Branzino was cooked perfectly. Our waiter, Rueben was a 10. I love summer evenings at Piccolo Sogno. They never let us down.
