Best Restaurants for People Watching in Logan Square

We tried this restaurant last night and had the best time. The food was amazing, but what was really amazing was our server Rene and the staff. The staff was so on top of it, and the food came out so fast. It was our friend's birthday, and we were trying to surprise her. We had ordered a cake but needed to figure out a way to get it there without her noticing. When my other friend called the restaurant, they were able to hold the cake for us in the morning and then bring it to the table as a surprise. Rene was already informed by staff, so when we arrived, he was already in on the plan. At the end of dinner, the cake was brought out, and it was such a nice surprise. Special thanks to Rene and the staff at Quartino—you are all amazing.

Food is excellent. I was hoping for a bit more from the front of house. Valentine’s Day is a busy night and there I am happy to receive service from the bartender. I also could have navigated the menu better on my own end, but above and beyond service might have helped deliver an elite dining experience.

The service and food were outstanding. We were celebrating a family birthday and the team reached out ahead of time to find out specifics and make the evening even more special!

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 a dedicated 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.

The service was great! We really enjoy Happy Camper!
