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.

    This was our first visit in several years, and we went with another couple. The main room was so dimly lit it was hard to read the menu (descriptions of dishes are also in gray, rather than black, so there's not much contrast). As tables filled up, it also became very noisy and hard to have a conversation, which is a main reason for eating out with friends. We ordered the burrata appetizer and were surprised to find it came with slices of some kind of pork. My husband and I do not eat pork. The menu may have had something in Italian to mention this rather unusual addition to a burrata dish, but if it did, we didn't catch it. Maybe SOME things need to be listed in English. The branzino was delicious, the ravioli ok. We shouldn't have to ask to have water glasses refilled. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

    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.
