This place is pretty quaint and cute. Low lighting and a warm ambiance. Service was pretty fast, we were in and or within an hour. However the portions are so small. We got:- Ravioli: this was so small and looked like a children's portion -Ragu: I enjoyed this but I've had better pasta in NYC

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

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!

[Osteria Langhe] Italian restaurant in the Palmer Square / Logan Square area, specializing in Northern Italy / Piemonte cuisine. Highly ranked Italian restaurantThis 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.com2824 West Armitage Avenue Chicago, IL 60647

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!

Ambiance is cute dim lighting. Great for a date night. The Plin and risotto you must order!The gnocchi was a little underwhelming, but still goodSkip the bread app and get something else. The bread was just alright.

Excellent food and experience. We came here on a Wednesday, where they offer a fixed price menu. That was a great option, particularly as they don't require the entire table to do this. One of us had that and the other ordered 3 or 4 items off the menu. Our server was excellent and was very knowledgeable on both the food and the wine.What a great little Italian restaurant that really focuses on great food and a great experience.

Great restaurant and intimate setting. Food and wine was delicious. Owner was fantastic but, our server was a little off. Totally worth a trip!

Osteria Langhe is a solid Italian restaurant with a very cozy and inviting ambiance. I have been here several times and have enjoyed it each time. The food is consistently good and the pasta dishes are well done - Definitely get the plin pasta hereIt is a little pricey for the quality of food but it makes sense for the ambiance and service provided
