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.

    The patio was lively and magical, even on a weeknight. Food was wonderful, especially the seafood pasta.

    Piccolo Sogno is always a favorite! The outdoor space is the most beautiful patio dining space in the city. However, its popularity renders it very crowded and loud. Unless the weather is perfect (70 degrees with a slight breeze) I prefer the indoor space.

    My favorite Italian restaurant in Chicago with classic Italian cuisine. Everything very freshly made. Chef Tony is known for his hand created pastas and pizzas. I highly recommend this restaurant.
