"The back patio at Piccolo Sogno is the standard by which all others are judged when it comes to a romantic dinner outside in Chicago. It’s surrounded by trees decorated with lights, and there’s enough space between each table that you won’t be able to tell whether the people around you are getting engaged or divorced. It’s good for any kind of date, too - from an early-in-the-game dinner to a “let’s finish this bottle of wine before we go home to the kids” situation. All in all, a true date night utility player." - adrian kane
