About this restaurant

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

    Incredible authentic Italian food in the most beautiful outdoor patio in Chicago. Service was phenomenal and the ambience made me feel like I was in Europe. Food was fresh, tasty and so clearly homemade with love. One of my new favorite Chicago spots hands down

    Good overall experience until we did notice a couple rats in the outdoor garden area and they charged a credit card surcharge fee without disclosing it.

    The busser was quick to bring out our bread and water, but the server took about 15-20 minutes to even get us started. It seemed like every time I needed my server during my meal, he was no where to be found. The patio was beautiful, but I wasn’t situated in a very convenient/comfortable table. The food was just okay but maybe I ordered the wrong thing, I don’t know 🤷🏽‍♂️
