Piccolo Sogno

Editorial Review

Built by the same guys who put together city-favorites Blackbird and SushiSamba Rio, Piccolo Sogno stands out in structure: Venetian plastered walls, terrazzo floors, Italian marble, backlit alabaster onyx, and a secluded outdoor patio that would convince Don Corleone he was meeting in the Italian countryside. Chef Tony Priolo, formerly of Coco Pazzo, together with co-owner and Italian wine specialist Ciro Longobardo, send out red wine-braised beef short ribs with cipollini onions and soft polenta, spinach and potato gnocchi and pizzas fresh from a wood-burning oven.
