Price: Very Expensive
• Contemporary American • Lakeview / East Lakeview
Booked 11 times today
From the kitchen to the bar, everything we serve is defined by a passion for exploring unique flavor combinations. Wood is more than a name: our wood-fired oven is at the heart of it all, enhancing a dynamic menu of small-plate, American fare, made with the peak midwest farm produce each season has to offer. Though the dishes regularly change, they are defined by a few constants: meat is butchered in-house from humanely-raised animals; vegetables are drawn from local family farms; and all pastas and sausages are freshly made. Lead by our talented Executive Chef Devin Kreller, who is a 6-time Michelin Bib Gourmand winner, Chef Devin uses French-dominated cooking techniques combined with multicultural inspirations such as Asian and Italian to create new dishes. Located in the heart of Chicago Boystown, we're known for our brunches, and house butchered meats. Come see why our restaurant has been around for 12 years. For reservations over 10 guests, please call us at (773) 935-9663.

    Great presentation, great service, and interesting dishes. Prices are a bit steep on certain items and the quantity you get is not much. Portions are a bit small but very tasty. We will be back to try a few other things. We spent $200 for two people for Valentine's day dinner.

    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.
