The Verdict
OSTERIA LANGHE is the Logan Square Armitage Avenue Piemontese Italian restaurant whose tajarin with butter and sage — the specific 40-yolk egg pasta that communicates the Piemontese pasta culture's most fundamental available daily expression — and agnolotti dal plin whose specific meat filling and hand-pinched technique communicate genuine knowledge of the Langhe region's most beloved stuffed pasta together establish it as Chicago's most Piemontese-devotedly available Italian restaurant. The Barolo and Barbaresco programme whose specific producer selections communicate genuine knowledge of the Langhe wine geography; the tajarin and agnolotti production whose daily freshness communicates genuine commitment to what the Piemontese tradition requires; and the Logan Square neighbourhood setting whose creative community creates the audience for an Italian restaurant whose regional specificity communicates complete culinary conviction.
The Piemontese Italian menu at Osteria Langhe reflects the Langhe regional tradition applied through genuine producer knowledge: the pasta programme whose tajarin and agnolotti communicate genuine mastery of the Piemontese pasta traditions; the Barolo and Barbaresco wine programme whose depth communicates genuine knowledge of the Langhe wine geography; and the Logan Square neighbourhood character that communicates a restaurant whose regional Italian conviction is as embedded in the creative community as any of its most celebrated neighbours.
