Checked out this spot for the first time recently, small little spot on armitage you can't really tell that restaurant is there, walked in was able to get seated I chose the bar I sat down I think I was sitting for a good 5min no water was given to me and the bartender was doing other things as if I wasn't there he continued to ignore me, a couple had walked in and sat at the bar also and he served them water right away and took their drink order.....I was getting pretty upset...until I had asked a couple questions about the menu he was a bit rude I was about to walk out but I didn't because I was really hungry, so service was ok and food was ok also. Place seemed clean couldn't really hear the music playing in the background It's pretty pricey i probably won't go back to this place. read more

Wow! We got there and it was a gorgeous night and we sat outside. They were very attentive and quick to come to the table. We got bread, summer risotto, steak frites, and ragu. Every dish hit it out of the park. Amazing! Would return read more

The restaurant is small in size, but well decorated. A very cozy but upscale feel. We opted for wine over a cocktail, and a man came over to help us decide properly, which was nice. The server was attentive and helpful. The food was great, although I do wish portions were slightly bigger. But I suppose that comes with the territory of nicer restaurants. Overall, a wonderful place to spend an anniversary. read more

Osteria Langhe - Carne Cruda, wine - Italian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Osteria Langhe is a local Italian favorite that has been around since '14.

Service was attentive and friendly, and both drinks and water were replenished and refilled promptly. +great shareables +friendly service read more

I tend toward Thai, Eastern European, African food, anything adventurous, because I think of Italian food as "marinara." This tells you that I have not eaten at top tier Italian restaurants, but I do know good food. Dining at Osteria Langhe has been an outstanding experience both times I've eaten there. It is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. It is not cheap, but the flavors are bold, interesting, and will have me coming back yet again. Service and atmosphere are both fantastic, and it is not loud. They have a large wine list, but I do not drink wine. read more

Some of the best food and service I've ever experienced. The ambiance is lovely and we were seated right away (with a reservation that was made quite a while in advance, so plan for that). Make sure to try the plin! Portions are small, so order a few things to share. read more

First time visiting- food was amazing! I made a reservation, which wasn't really needed when we arrived but the place filled up quickly, which surprised me as it was the Sunday of memorial weekend. The regular was yummy along with the lobster ravioli and the pana cotta with some house made limoncello was a great way to end the meal! I loved the natural night with the big windows as well read more

Went here for the first time last weekend and had a great time. Our server was great and recommended a perfect wine for me. Started with the burrata salad which was refreshing and tasty. We shared the plin pasta which is the perfect portion for sharing. My pappardelle and mussels were excellent and my husband loved the rabbit. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the panna cotta. It was just okay, wouldn't get again. My husband got the bombolini which were excellent! read more

Osteria Langhe was unlike any Italian restaurant I have ever visited. The food is based off of cuisine in Northwestern Italy. I loved the ambiance, the rustic vibes, and the crackling fireplace. Our waitress Maggie was very knowledgeable and helpful. Her recommendations were on point. We started with the anti pasti ; a refreshing insalata; greens, roasted squash, ricotta salata, pomegranate, roasted pepitas, parmesan, avocado aioli and vitello tonnato; poached piemontese beef; tuna, citrus, & caper aioli; frisee, crispy egg. The espresso martinis were the perfect compliment to our meal. My friend ordered the ragu; house fettuccine noodles, northern meat ragu, parmigiano. I ordered the Brasato; braised beef, potato purée, and sautéed vegetables. The meat fell off the bone and it was buttery. I felt each bite melt in my mouth. Truly an exceptional entree. I savored this meal and I look forward to returning to Osteria Langhe for another unique experience. read more

solid meal, cozy space, friendly service. they offer a solid HH with discounted food and drink, everything was super quick. the vitello tonnato and the plin pasta were both delicious and on HH special. they also offer a four course menu on wednesdays for $55 read more

We thought the atmosphere, service and most importantly the food were out of this world! This place has a serious focus on northern Italian cuisine and their wine offers variety of options from Piedmont, truly rare wines which makes the experience very special The owner came out to us and offered more explanations and suggestions including a cheese course that wasn't even on the menu! They were packed and he still found time for us! Vitello Tonnato and Plin were beyond words amazing! read more

Osteria Langhe - We are getting special treatment by Aldo the owner;) - Italian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

In a sentence: Creative, inspired, elevated Italian fare in a low key, upscale casual dining atmosphere. This was our first visit to Osteria Langhe, a special birthday dinner that absolutely lived up to our hopes. Trying new Italian restaurants can be tough - everyone has their go tos and their favorites, and sometimes it's tough to even want to explore outside of your pocket. You'll want to go to Osteria Langhe because they create and execute dishes you aren't likely to find anywhere else in the city, and they're doing them extremely well. If you're a wine connoisseur, you'll have a field day with the options. I wouldn't put myself at that level, but as someone who knows enough to be able to pick and enjoy a solid bottle at an affordable range, which is exactly what we did and greatly enjoyed. We started with the quiche, perhaps an odd thing to see on an Italian menu, but a perfect savory starter, filled with crunchy asparagus, mushrooms, melty fontina, and the most delicious squash puree I've ever had. A really great alternative to the usual bread and butter. Then it was onto the delicata squash gnocchi, a similar flavor profile done in a different way, with pillowy soft gnocchi taking in all that flavor, the pecorino and pepitas adding texture, saltiness, and depth. For our entrees, the verdura was one of the most enjoyable dishes I've had in a long time, essentially an elevated vegetable pot pie, just bursting with flavors and textures. Crispy filo dough, more squash and asparagus, brussels, mushrooms, spinach, leek cream and hazelnuts, just an absolute cornucopia of flavors in one dish. We also shared the special, a truffle risotto dish, topped off with an egg, a first for me. We both felt it needed some sort of textural element (toasted breadcrumbs?), but the flavors were next level, particularly as that egg continued to mix in with everything else. It added such a depth of flavor and umami that now I can't imagine having risotto without it. As it was my birthday, the incredible chocolate pudding, an elevated "dirt cup" that tasted like the kind of pudding your grandmother would make, was comped, which was lovely. We did add a scoop of pistachio gelato, which featured waves of flavor I can't quite recall ever having in an ice cream before. Overall, just a wonderful dining experience. Staff were attentive, but not on top of you. We were able to take our time and enjoy an expensive night out without ever feeling rushed. I could see some folks feeling cramped if they were super packed, but I also kind of liked the feel of the layout and atmosphere - it felt far more like a hole in the wall Italian joint in NYC than you typically find in Chicago. Just a really great experience. We will definitely be back to check out their spring menu! read more

My buddies favorite spot. Northern Italian cuisine, homemade pasta. Started with the apps, carpaccio and had the breaded shrimp. Both were nice! Moved on to the ravioli, and ragu, liked the ravioli better. Finished with a steak and affogato. The steak was not my favorite but my friend loves it! Subjective. But that affogato was the best I ever had. Prices are reasonable and the service was great. Would definitely go back! Corkage fee not bad. My wine buddy brought a nice 2015 Barolo which made it a great night! Thank you Then we headed over to Outset for Highly Suspect! Sometimes you just have a perfect night with food, service, wine & music. The end - Thank you read more

Osteria Langhe is a cozy, inviting local spot that feels like an escape to Northern Italy. The staff is always super attentive but not over the top. The wine list is curated with Italian gems you rarely find elsewhere, including lovely Barolos and sparkling options. We are huge fans of the Plin, tiny-sized agnolotti filled with La Tur cheese, the ragu, and the braised beef brasato. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner spot or just want to treat yourself to some truly authentic Italian cooking, Osteria Langhe is worth a visit. read more

We finally checked this place out for dinner. While a quick glance at the menu shows limited vegetarian options, we were told which items can be made vegetarian and given great recommendations. Similarly, our waitress guided us to picking a solid bottle of wine based on preferences and we loved it. We had the burrata and salad to start, followed by the plin and tajarin (without mussels) pastas, and ended with the verdura. We liked everything and were still hungry so we ordered the gnocchi and the plin (it was that good!) again. The portions are definitely on the smaller side for the price, but we had a good time here! read more

Such a disappointing evening. It took over 2 hours to get our entire meal served, with multiple requests to check on progress. A question about wines while ordering prompted the response, "Aldo is too busy, so let me know which wines you are interested in and I'll go ask him." Coursing was horrible, as one of our group of three had her entree served after two were finished with theirs and their plates picked up. Apparently some folks really love this place, but even the incredible Plin would not bring us back. Hard to believe that all of those positive reviews are authentic. read more

[Osteria Langhe] Italian restaurant in the Palmer Square / Logan Square area, specializing in Northern Italy / Piemonte cuisine. Highly ranked Italian restaurant This is my all time favorite restaurant. It gives off small rustic hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant vibes. Dim lighting, candle lit, limited seating, vintage ambiance. I can only thank my friends for introducing me to this place and I went back to try almost the rest of their menu 1. Appetizers: Toasted Focaccia and Vitello Tonnato which is a poached beef with tuna. Bread was slightly below average, hard, burnt tasting, nothing crazy. The Vitello Tonnato is amazing. Tuna isn't fishy and pairs really well with the beef, citrus-y, acidic dish. High praise 2. Pork Tenderloin. Server recommended although I was hesitant. Most times I've gotten pork is super dry and grainy. This was amazing, super tender, juicy, flavorful 3. Coniglio (Prosciutto wrapped rabbit loin with pork belly / Favorite dish) 4. Prime beef I believe. Not currently on their menu 5. Carne Cruda (raw beef, cured egg yolk, cracker) very comparable to beef tartare 6. Insalata (similar to veggie tempura) 7. Mushroom pasta? Not on the menu anymore. I forgot 8. Chocolate Creme Puff 9. Affogato 10. Misc Overall, 10/10. Super high notes. Amazing. The palate is so diverse here from sweet, acidic, savory, etc. The dishes are creative, stepping outside the boundaries of ordinary Italian food. The service is great. Price point matches the food and quality without overly expensive. I dream of this place. https://www.osterialanghe.com 2824 West Armitage Avenue Chicago, IL 60647 read more

Cute little Italian spot that was the perfect place for four runners looking to carb up pre chicago marathon. Good wine selections, great service from the staff from the door to the check.

This is a lovely spot. It is pretty small, so I recommend making a reservation. My husband and I were in the area and decided to check it out as we saw it was nearby. We could not get a table, but there were two seats the bar, which was fine with us. The food is excellent as is the wine. We just found the portions to be really small; especially considering the prices charged. The bartender was super friendly as were the hostesses. We did not interact with anyone else, but it appeared that all the servers were quite pleasant. read more

My best friend would always rave about how good the pasta here is so we came here for her birthday and had a fantastic meal from start to finish. We ordered their several pasta dishes to share but the star of the meal was the plin. Hand pinched petite ravioli stuffed with creamy la tur cheese and tossed in thyme and butter... do I need to say more? Each bite was so indulgent and rich, yet the ravioli itself is supremely soft and light. The ragu was also very delicious! To be honest, I really don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu here. I appreciate their use of local and seasonal ingredients. They do a wonderful job all around. Oh, and their wine list is a plus too! read more

Great date night spot with excellent pastas made in house and delicious Italian wines by the glass. We got the tartare, the stuffed cabbage, the plin (cheese ravioli), and the pappardelle and then finished with an affogato and the panna cotta. No bad bites but the stuffed cabbage was a sleeper favorite. Would definitely come back and would be a regular spot if we lived a little closer. read more

This place has everything you can imagine for the perfect romantic meal. Their wait staff was highly knowledgeable of the wine and cocktails. Plates are typically shared, so we got to sample two starters, one first course and two entrees. Try the flan on the starters. It's a savory dish with toasted hazelnuts. The seared black cod had a nice soft texture complemented by the lentils and saffron cream. The vegetarian crepes were also a treat I'll be coming back for. read more

We've been wanting to come here for a long time and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was cleanly, the staff was friendly and our food came out in a timely fashion well coursed. Also found street parking pretty easily. To start we had the shrimp and octopus appetizer. The little cakes were full of flavor and the dish melted in your mouth. We then ended up splitting the ragu and plin pasta. The ragu was hearty and filling then the plin raviolis were worth the hype. Eat them right away while they're warm! There was a beef Wellington special we tried and that did not disappoint either. The plate was basically licked clean because the subtle truffle flavors in the gravy were to die for. Great spot for a date night or even with some friends. To end the night you need to go across the street to The Freeze for a Boston shake! read more

Enjoyed our experience with very friendly and efficient service. Our server correctly warned us that the plates were small and to order more and he was correct, very small plates so be warned. Food comes out quick so was a fast 1hr dinner. Plin I would highly recommend but again you will need an entree to pair to have enough food for dinner (or maybe Im just fat). Excellent Negroni. read more

We are #blessed this place is around the corner from us. It's a very intimate setting so perfect for date nights. It can get a bit loud because of the smaller space but not too bad. The service is quick and attentive with a thorough knowledge of the menu and drink list. We ordered the sea bass and duck breast risotto, which was a special that night. Both dishes were awesome but the duck risotto was next level. We hated our food so much we cleaned our plates. The dessert selection is fantastic and well worth saving room for! We'll be back again and again! read more
