About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • 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-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.

    The food was good, but it was just luke warm. The salads were very small for the price. It was also extremely loud on the tent-enclosed patiom

    I have eaten here two time. Both have been very good. The food was excellent. I had the PAPPARDELLE CON CINGHIALE Wide flat pasta, spiced wild boar ragu. It was very good. If you go in the warmer months definitely see if you can be seated in their patio area. It is beautiful. Overall I highly recommend this place!

    Service was outstanding. Food was awesome. Caprese salad was delicious. They served it with sun dried tomatoes. We had the Lasagna and the gnocchi. Both were outstanding! Very good wine list. Our dessert was pannacotta with fresh berries. Perfect way to finish our meal. We would definitely go back and look forward to doing so soon.
