Osteria Langhe β So Delicious but Such Small Portions π
The menu is short and sweet β very satisfying for those who hate endless choices. CARNE CRUDA β Tasty! The crackers were crisp, though the arugula was a bit wilted π₯¬. PAPPARDELLE β Squid ink pasta β OMG, insanely good π€―. Spicy, savory, and aromatic! Only downside: the noodles were wide and thin but not quite springy enough, and they were buried under mussels β so few of them π’. RAGU β Ribbon pasta with Parmigiano, meat sauce, and a small piece of flavorful steak (maybe trimmings from a steak? π). CONIGLIO β Rabbit loin, pork belly, prosciutto, mushrooms, and creamy polenta. Rich and comforting β like a gourmet version of creamy corn porridge. Savory and creamy in perfect balance, with layers of meat from lean rabbit to fatty pork belly to salty prosciutto, all rounded off by the polenta and cheese. (Thanks, GPT, for helping me put that into words β itβs exactly how I felt! π) Only catch: itβs quite salty β even my salt-loving friend needed lots of water π§. #ChicagoEats #ItalianFood #OsteriaLanghe #SmallPortionsBigFlavor #FoodReview #PrettyPlate
