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.

    Everything was wonderful! I noted food allergies in my reservation, and the waiter was aware when we arrived. He made careful suggestions for those diners and worked with the kitchen to ensure their food was safe. Overall a fantastic dinner.

    Sarah is a fabulous waitperson. I so appreciated her & the other staff’s attentiveness with my 80-year old friend in a walker.

    Dining in a tent was understandable during the height of COVID, but it no longer feels appropriate for a $200+ dinner experience with a reservation. It felt like a picnic. Not special.

    Always spectacular food. Very noisy on this Saturday night. Conversation was more challenging. Service was attentive but irregular. We waited an hour for our entrees while those seated after us were served more timely. Disappointing service given the reputation and price point and our prior experiences dining here.

    Well exceeded our expectations. There no wonder this has been a staple in the chicago food scene for so long. Stop chasing the next new restaurant and go here.
