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.

Felt the waiter was a bit insistent on getting order, we were at a birthday dinner,,, and he seemed irritated by our asking him to return,,,, and it seemed to follow through... Everything else is great,, can count on food and beautiful place to dine.

We have gone to Piccolo Sogno for years and always enjoyed it. The last time we were there was in 2024. Well, something has changed and it is not for the better. In an effort to seat more customers there are now time limits on how long you can take for your dinner based on the number of people (90 minutes for 2 people). During our meal, servers removed plates the moment they became empty, even when the others at the table were still eating. We were asked if we were ready to order about every 2-3 minutes. I have never felt so rushed in a restaurant. The food is still good, but the experience is no longer pleasant. What a pity!
