We were sat in the covered patio. We should have been given notice that we were not going to be seated in the restaurant. It was SO loud due to it being a tent and cold. It was not a pleasant dining experience. Though the food was good. The overall experience was poor due to the seating arrangement. It was drafty and loud in the covered patio.

One of my all time favorite restaurants. Food is delicious and wait staff is outstanding. The menu has nice variety, always something for everyone. Highly recommend Piccolo Sogno for any occasion.

Solid Italian. Worth a visit. Haven't seen the famous patio, but the dining room was comfortable. Only problem was being seated too close to front window and it was kinda chilly. We lived.
