Osteria Il Bersò
Chef-led tradition forms the unshakeable foundation of Osteria Langhe, where the historic Piedmontese landscape meets the technical rigor of authentic Logan Square preparation. The 'Plin' agnolotti serve as a technical masterpiece, featuring delicate, house-pinched pasta envelopes filled with La Tur cheese and finished with a glossy, aromatic butter-and-thyme reduction. Technical mastery is further explored in the Vitello Tonnato, where poached Piedmontese beef is paired with a silky tuna-citrus-caper aioli and the brittle crunch of a crispy egg. An aroma of roasted mushrooms and creamy polenta permeates the cozy space, signaling a commitment to hearty Northern Italian fare. Texture is a primary focus in the Slagel Farms gnocchi, which offer a soft, cloud-like consistency that balances the rich depth of confit duck leg. This Chicago destination remains a bastion of Piedmontese excellence, where the display of artisanal craftsmanship ensures a menu of absolute, high-signal integrity.
