We wanted to bring that experience to Chicago.”Piccolo Sogno features a menu of seasonally fresh rustic Italian cuisine.

    We had a great dinner experience at RPM seafood! Our server was Jessica and she is so personable and offers great service. We tried one of the off menu specials she let us know about and it was delicious; we asked for some recommendations and nothing disappointed! The scramble eggs and truffle dish was surprisingly delicious and the octopus was cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed the tempura Tai which was a great balance of fish and crunchy tempura. We finished with the banana dessert which was not overly heavy and a great way to end a full meal. We are thankful for Jessica as service felt seamless.

    I cannot count the number of visits we've had to The Girl and the Goat, but it continues to be a favorite for both personal and professional dining. I brought three colleagues, who have never been, to the restaurant for dinner. One diner is vegetarian, but there are menu offerings and options available to provide them with enough to eat. All three were quite impressed with the food. My only complaint would be our table was right next to the kitchen, which can be loud. However, we made due, and had an enjoyable meal. Service is always very good, and the cocktails are fun. If you're interested in dining, make sure you book way ahead, as there is almost no chance to get a table day of.

    This is the first time my friends have been to this restaurant. We got there a little early and they sat us right away. Our server was absolutely amazing and was on top of it the whole time. We ordered appetizers and food and every single person enjoyed it and said how amazing the food was. For dinner for five people, the price was not bad. They even gave us two little plates for both our birthdays, which was very nice. When I go back there again, absolutely!

    This restaurant is a little gem. They have great food, service and ambience. I highly recommend it. It’s on a busy street with other restaurants and bars but don’t overlook it because it’s a wonderful experience.
