Really cute outdoor seating. Perfect in the summer. Nice service. Accommodating and friendly. Shared pizza trecolore (pizza with sauce, fresh mozzarella, arugula and prosciutto. Very good. Then shrimp parm. Just what u think and perfectly good with spaghetti on the side. Hubby had chicken piccolo sogno in a light brown sauce with mustard and rosemary. Yummy. With roasted and potatoes and broccoli on the side. Lemoncello dessert and cappuccino. Two glasses of house montepulciano. Would definitely be a regular if we lived right here. read more

Piccolo Sogno - Italian Near Me - Flushing, New York

This is the second time we've tried to eat at this place and both times we have had to leave because the people who seat you and the people who serve seem to have no communication despite working in a tight space. Front of house tells us 10 minutes, while the servers take 30 minutes to clear off plates then take another 10 minutes to drag their feet back and forth to bring dessert menus to the tables they were supposed to have cleared out 30 minutes ago. The service is painfully slow, communication lacking. Who knows how their food is? Don't go here if you want to be seated in any sort of reasonable timeframe or served. We sat there and watched families mid meal who were still there 50 minutes later when we decided the 15 minute wait they had promised for our table was inaccurate and we should leave. read more

Great food! Had the Piccolo Sogno salad with grilled chicken. It was delicious! Roasted peppers, artichokes, goat cheese, raisins, oranges, pine nuts, raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Awesome. Had a berry tart to finish w an espresso. Perfect end. Small cozy place. Warm and inviting. Highly recommend stopping by. read more

I knew This Place Would be Great from The moment I walked into the door, From the Friendly Greeting All the way to my seat. The Apps are Amazing, I had Baked Clams and Fried calamari, My dinner was a Steak Special and my GF had a baked manicotti. If anyone on my Yelp or my Friends is looking to have Authentic Italian, Give this place a Try...... The Chef Maurizio also Comes out when he can to Greet and See how everyone is doing.. read more

This is my favorite restaurant! Family owned and run. Welcoming staff. Menu is extensive, featuring periodic specials (often northern Italian cuisine, but also offer familiar favorites. ) Ordering online is a breeze. Absolutely no complaints. Go once/order online once, and you'll become a regular customer! read more

One of the best Italian food restaurants. Each dish is good. The kids love the food too. Will come here again. Thanks. read more

It was a great start with the starters but maybe we didn't order the right mains, the mussels and burrata salad were great but they forgot our bread with the meal and mains were very heavy could only finish half way. The chef is very recept be came to greet the table gives this place its charm read more

I am honored to be the first to speak to you about this hidden treasure. Piccolo Sogno is what you have been looking for. It is at the end of a row of stores, if you blink while driving by it you will miss it. You walk into what looks to be a tiny Pizza Parlor, with a very nice seating area. Do not be fooled. If you walk towards the kitchen make a right then a left down a hallway you enter what I can only call a wonderful dining experience. It is an outdoor garden area with seating and a bar. There are about 8 tables here. The entire areas is covered by a large awning. There are large trees here offering you shade. The servers are nothing but friendly. It has a very family like feeling. The food. Maurizio (The Chef) is skilled at his craft. I have yet to have something here that has not been the best. The fried calamari is perfect. Never chewy, and the batter is so light. I found myself eating it like a I was a starving man it was so good. Try the Grilled Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana, fantastic. The lemon sorbet for desert. Personal Pizzas. Let me not forget that they do make awesome Pizza. Make this your new spot for a quiet, fresh air meal. read more

This is a great restaurant. The food was great and portions were big. I enjoyed that every worker there greets you as you come in and all make sure to say bye as you leave. The owner also comes out to check on his guests. The staff cares about their guests and I loved that! Would definitely go back again. read more

Piccolo Sogno - Veal parmigiana with pasta and sauce - Italian Near Me - Flushing, New York

See all

Ive been coming here since they opened up and the authentic Italian taste still lingers! This is a fantastic place thats extremely family friendly. I know both the husban and wife since opening and they are just incredible people who put love into the food just as if my own mother is cooking! The staff is extremely kind and helpful when reccomending house specials and house wine. Ive been coming here for so long i dont think ill ever stop! I decided to come here to have my own personal fresh margarita pizza which i highly recommend to everyone. This is just the pizza. Now imagine dinner! I was also able to drink on some of their house specials. All the while this kind gentleman named Steve was helping me decide which wine to have and he couldnt have made a better recommendation. The Mirassou Chardonnay. Went so well with the margarita pizza! Looking forward to bringing my family here one special night to enjoy this authentic italian atmosphere! Thank you to the whole staff at Piccolo Sogno! God bell! read more

Is an ok place, too small and uncomfortable . Food okay nothing special to me . They have to Remember that , better customer service can help a lot read more

This is our go to place! From the front door all the staff is welcoming wether you are eating in or taking out! The food is delicious and consistent. It is so nice to sit out in the backyard and have a meal. Enjoy your well deserved vacation! read more

What a wonderful find. The carpaccio rivaled the one I had at the Sacristia in Rome. The lobster ravioli was just right. I suggest everyone order the Piccolo Sogno salad. Will return to try the Pizza. Wonderful service too! read more

Not sure of why these great reviews are written. Although as I read on further, someone stated that the owner/cook was offering 2 $50 coupon for 5 star reviews. We ate there a few weeks ago and the food was barely edible. the place was almost empty (only one other table other than ours- we were 4 people) so there was plenty of time to put a bit of care into the food. The baked clams were mushy and barely cooked. Baked clams are supposed to be topped with bread mixed with oil so they broil. these were topped with wet bread and the cook did not even take the time to broil them. We ate wet breaded clams. I ordered linguini with white clam sauce. the dish came as a soup. the sauce came above the pasta. I asked the waiter for the cook (he is not a chef!) to cook it a bit as to reduce the sauce, he came back 10 seconds later with less sauce- he just dumped the sauce. It had no taste. The rest of the dishes were below average and were packed to go. All three packages exploded in the bag. Many reviews indicate the same. Queens has a lot of good restaurants, if you are going to go out and spend your money pick a better choice. I rarely write comments but this one deserves an honest opinion. read more

This was by far the worst dining experience I've ever had. It started out fine, with seating and an appetizer but we waited forever for our food. We waited about an hour and a half for our main courses. When the food finally arrived it was mediocre and one-dimensional. I had the rigatoni alla norma and all it was was oily pasta with tiny pieces of burnt eggplant. There were supposed to be tomatoes and ricotta but there were none on the plate. It was quite bland and disappointing. For the amount of time we waited I was expecting something spectacular and worthwhile. It was pedestrian to say the least and pricey for no reason. The bread they served was stale as heck and the servers never refilled our waters or offered any type of acknowledgement of the failure on their part as a restaurant. By the end of the meal I just wanted to get the hell out of there. The whole time we were waiting for our food, none of the servers apologized or acknowledged that we had been waiting forever. It was almost like they we imprisoning us with this promise of food to be had. The thing that really upset me was that they were churning out delivery orders and pick-up orders. They seem to have their priorities all wrong because they ignored the seated customers for all the call-in orders and take-out. They must have passed our table five times with orders to be delivered with no update on our order. I will never, ever step foot back at this place. It was the most distressing meal I've ever had. Domino's would have been a better option. read more

Great rustico style pizza. The sauce and the cheese to die for! We usually go here and order a pie when we have special training sessions at Champion's TKD in Bayside. My daughter isn't big on pizza, but loves their pizza! We usually order it half Hawaiian and the other half with either sausage or pepperoni. They add maraschino cherries to the Hawaiian and it only costed a little over $20, not sure of the price because I usually send my wife in while I wait in the car. read more

Came to this tiny neighborhood Italian restaurant with my aunt and uncle on a steamy Friday night. It' has a small pizza place upfront and an almost as small restaurant in the back. Apparently they have outside seating as well, but I didn't notice it. I and my aunt shared the baked clams. They weren't bad, but nothing outrageous. Although it was about 100 degrees outside I ordered the heavy lasagna. It was actually delicious. It was very unique. It's made with ham and fontina cheese with green peas in a bechamel sauce. Very different from what I am used to, but worth ordering. My aunt and uncle raved about their meatballs so I figured why not order a side of them for the table. Not that impressed. Very average. Don't try to come here on Mondays because they are closed. I made that mistake once. read more

I dont know how the italian food is here but i stopped in for a slice while my boyfriend was getting his haircut. The pizza tasted off to me but i thought nothing of it. Cut to a few hours later when i am getting ready for a night out i am almost done when i get this extreme pain in my stomach that i am now on the floor yelling out in pain unable to move. Half an hour later i am in the bathroom. I almost had to cancel my date. I winded up in the bathroom once more. Never again read more

I was very disappointed. My friends had raved about this restaurant but it took over an hour just to have our order taken and another hour til we got our food. When someone in our party went to speak to a manager he was was very rude to her. No apologies were given just excuses. The food was average and some of the food was cold. I won't be going back. read more

Thanks again to fellow yelpers for helping me find Piccolo Sogno. Have made several visits and this place has become one of my steady-Eddie favorites. You know when you are starved and are dreaming of a solid meal? Lately I have been thinking about the Piccolo Sogno chicken parmesan with a side order of angel hair. Never disappoints. The chicken is light and the sauce is homey. Cheese melted just right. I have also had the baked ziti which is very good. Salads with shaved parmesan are fresh and delicious. Service is excellent and the prices can't be beat. Pass on the desert and head over to the Oasis Cafe at 196-30 Northern Blvd. for a napoleon instead. Enjoy! read more

3.5 stars I had the salmon carpaccio salad which was quite good. Lemon cherry tomatoes and arugula. I wish it head a little more arugula. Fish was really nice and fresh. I also gad the linguine and white clam sauce. The sauce and clams were great. They were big clams. Sauce had a mild flavor. Only thing was the pasta which seemed home made were over cooked. The out door space in the back is really charming, and the servers were very good and attentive. read more

Piccolo Sogno you are absolutely remarkable, I had a lovely experience here yesterday. Very cool and different. The menu is really outstanding, lots of fantastic choices, I had to go with Baked Clams, and it was fantastic. Good selection and fantastic customer service. Piccolo Sogno, If you haven't been here before, you're definitely missing out. read more

This is an updated review. Very impressed with the customer service at this location!! I left a review and the owner Mauricio took time to explain his process and ingredients. I was disappointed with the alfredo sauce. It was not at all what I expected. It is a MUCH lighter sauce then what I am used to. The cheesecake is also much lighter in consistency and not as rich as what I am used to. If you are looking for authentic Italian food this is likely the place for you. The owner takes great pride in his dishes and speaks with passion about his ingredients. read more

This was the WORST place EVER I have .experienced on mother's day. A leaking patio plastic roof, horrible service and food took an hour and a half to come out and was cold. Tables that came in way after mine are eating before mine. Once again horrible horrible service. I will never come back here ever. Outback steak house and the Clinton Ville restaurant never did this read more

Always delicious!!! Packed house for a reason! Such a welcoming place, staff is amazing, polite and attentive... A must visit if in the area... read more

I got a slice of grandma pie, a slice of sicilian, and a slice of white pizza. The bottom of slices had no crisp, whereas the crust was hard like a brick. The cheese was also like greasy rubber. I honestly had better slices from school cafeteria. What a waste of money. Employees are nice tho and hence the 2 stars. read more

Great local italian restaurant with excellent dinner options. I ordered the salmon with veggies and if tasted great. Small restaurant with short wait times. read more

Ordered a shrimp parm hero and got a special ingredient. Ants. Hundreds. This place is disgusting. And can't cook a regular cheese pie for the life of them. The owners are cheap. They would t even offer a free glass of wine to my boss and his wife who gave them every single meal/drink they ever got at our place for free. read more

I've never been so disrespected by owners of a restaurant before. My table of 3 came in the same time as a large table and everybody from the bus boys to cooks could not care less about my table. Food that is usually good was inedible and 1 appetizer and 2 entrees were sent back. On the way out a lady asked how it was. When I mentioned how disappointed I was she listened but then my elderly mother said "and the soup was cold" and this lady lost her mind! I mean screaming at the top of her lungs that she is the owner and her husband cooked the food and how dare we say anything about it! What?!?! I'm a waitress, I understand a table can accidentally be neglected in that scenario, I would've continued to at least get pizza here if not sit down meals. If someone cares so little about their patrons then I will never ever support their business. GO TO PIZZA GARDEN! Down the block and you won't be forgotten or treated like garbage. Btw owner lady if you're reading this the incident happened a few weeks ago and I've been personally telling all my neighbors how vile you treated us. No more customers from all of 195th st for you! read more

Went to dinner with my son, daugter and son's fiance. Was very disappointed..I ordered a very simple dish ...Chicken Franchese..It looked like scrambled eggs on top of the chicken... The lemon sauce was thin and weak in flavor...Its pretty difficult to mess this dish up but Chef Maurizio managed to do so. I don't recall what my kids ordered but I do recall they were not pleased..except for the seafood appetizers, they said they were good...Will not be going back The exterior of the building has no curb appeal. In fact its rundown looking.... I went to this restaurant on a recommendation. Maybe was a bad day...But I don't want to venture to find out by going back. read more

This is the best Italian restaurant and take out. Take out arrives on time and hot just like when you sit in person at restaurant. Delicious

A nice neighborhood pizzeria and restaurant with promise. The calamari was quite good.

I reserved a table of 25 for my graduation party & I truly had no complaints. Every. Single. dish was delicious. We had a four course meal that was so phenomenal. The family that owned the establishment introduced themselves as our meal began. So sweet! The husband is from northern Italy while the wife is from Sicily. So the dishes are very diverse, authentic and fresh. The majority of my family is Italian and had no complaints or critiques! read more

So these are really strange times we are living in but it's always nice to have a great meal. Frankly, that's what I always experience at Piccolo Sognio. Maurizio, the executive chef and owner along with his wife, have a nice outside dining area in the backyard with appropriately spaced tables and very good shade and a large ventelating/cooling fan. We had dinner for a party of 4 and each of us enjoyed their meals. I had grilled pork chops that were perfectly cooked to doness and they were moist and tasty. Another of our party had Ossobuco that was fall off the bone delicious. My grilled chops were accompanied by pan roasted potatoes and broccoli rabe. They have 3 seatings at the outside area of the restaurant: outside 5:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. It works out pretty well but obviously the 5:00 p.m. and the 7:00 p.m. will be the most sought after slots. My estimate is that they can accommodate about 25 guests per seating. Been going to Piccolo Sogno for at least 10 years and I like the food and the staff. It's restaurant it's been our go to place for Saturday night take out during the lockdown and now that we can visit the restaurant we're happy. read more

I live in Flushing where Chinese and Korean dominate the area so you can guess Chinese and Korean restaurants are everywhere. I have been craving for some authentic Italian food that is close to where I live (8-minute drive), I don't like going all the way to Little Italy in lower Manhattan. I first came here for my brother-in-law's birthday. From the outside, you really wouldn't pay too much attention to it because it's very small, the seating inside the restaurant is quite tight too. But they have a very nice backyard where you can eat by request. The ambience outside is very relaxing so try to dine outside! Now let's talk about the food! Food are very fresh, you know they're made from scratch! I have tried calamari from different restaurants and I would say this restaurant has the best! For entree I ordered the Fettuccine Piccolo Sogno, and didn't regret it! It has shrimps, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and asparagus in a champagne mascarpone sauce! I loved the food so much that I went back there after 3 days after suggesting to my friends that we eat there to celebrate one of our friend's birthday! It's truly a hidden gem! read more
