The food is average at best. I’m disappointed given how hyped up this restaurant is. Wine was good though.
It was fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Food was on the heavy side though my lamb was cooked perfectly, just a bit salty. Service was rather slow and middling.

Called in to cancel a reservation due to Covid. They charged us a cancellation fee. I will never visit this restaurant again. Hope the $20 was worth it because I spent hundreds at this restaurant over the years. Go to a different restaurant if this is how they treat their customers.

Great food and fantastic service. Italian beers they have on offer are very fresh. Had the carne crudo and the conglio and both were very good. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for an excellent Italian meal.

We were craving some European Italian and decided on Osteria Langhe. It was somewhat hard to find - wasn't super clear from outside, but once you're inside, has a nice warm atmosphere.
We ordered the vitello tonnato, gnocchi, and rabbit dish (Coniglio). For drinks, we had a suggested wine to go with the rabbit dish and a one of the n/a cocktails. We then ordered dessert - the bunet and the affogato.
Our favorite dish was the rabbit dish (Coniglio). The suggested wine was enjoyable with it as well.
Dish Specifics:
Vitello tonnato - really great dish. The tuna + crispy egg was like an amazing tuna salad. The poached beef was really nice as well. Definitely would recommend this to start.
Gnocchi - a smaller dish, but certainly it being just pasta was more filling than it seemed. The sauce was really nice - seemed fresh. We had to order some bread to go with it so we could eat more of the leftover sauce :)
Coniglio, rabbit dish - Our favorite dish of the night. The polenta was really nice - also reminiscent of mashed potatoes and gravy. The mushrooms in the dish were spectacular and perfectly cooked. The rabbit was nicely portioned, cut nicely, and cooked really well - super enjoyable alone or eaten with the other components of the dish. Lastly, the pork belly was some of the best pork belly we've had.
Bunet - really nice dessert, not too sweet and not too heavy. Really nice salt coming from the caramel.
Affogato - good espresso and love that this was with a hazelnut ice cream - nice and nutty.
All in all - really good meal and satisfied my cravings for European Italian. Definitely authentic to the Piedmont region. We hope to come back and recommend you try it as well!
Parking: There's some street parking - but I parked at the bank nearby which is a very short walk and there were plenty of spaces. The difficulty of seeing where it was made me unsure if that was a suitable parking spot - but it turned out great, super easy.

Creative and delicious dishes, excellent service.
We had a reservation at 8pm and arrived at 8:10pm. We were informed that our reservation has about a 20-minute wait. We were offered to sit at the bar and order a drink while we wait. It took a few minutes to get service since it was so busy with only 1 bartender. The espresso martinis are delicious! We waited about 10-15 minutes in total for our reserved table.
When we sat down, we realized how congested and close the tables are from each other which made the place a loud and warm/hot (temperature wise). We hit the end of the busiest time, once people started leaving the service got better. The food was delicious! The plates are small portions, but it makes great for sharing. Highly recommend the Plin and Pesce.
We made the reservation with a note that we were there to celebrate a birthday. They do not do anything special for birthdays.

I was a little bit disappointed by the food experience. The burrata was just okay and lacked flavor. The raviolis were fine but nothing noticeable. And for a $60 risotto I was expecting something else. Service was very good and the atmosphere very enjoyable. But I won't be coming back.

Not sure if we went on an off night but our two pasta plates (gnocchi and ragu) were absolute salt bombs. We couldn’t finish our plates because it was that bad. Our tartare appetizer and cocktails were fine.

i’m a big fan of this place. have probably been a dozen times and it’s alway great.
the food is really well done- i think i get the plin and rabbit every time! have never had a miss with anything.
great wine program- 1/2 price nights have amazing deals on some very nice wines. also allow corkage- which i appreciate. allows me to pull some bottles from my cellar.
bravo!!!

This is a lovely little neighborhood restaurant with outstanding food. The owner is a charming restauranteur who provides excellent advice on the menu and the wine list. Several of the dishes were new to me and were taste treats. If this restaurant was in our city, it would become a regular stop.
The food was absolutely amazing. The tarajin was my favorite with the scrumptious sauce! A small piece of bread to soak up the sauce would have been a nice touch. The burrata, I wish was a whole one to cut into and let the creamy cheese flow out. However the flavors were there! The lamb was super tender and was perfectly cooked. The gnocchi was super tasty but it appeared we had two different batches. Some gnocchi were over kneaded while others had the nice pillow like consistency. While said all that, I would go back! I think the food overall was amazing and service was impeccable.
AMAZING food. Wine was incredible. Our main server had too much of a section to manage, and there was a pretty long wait to get our check. Otherwise another staff member gave us great recommendations for food and wine, and it was truly fantastic. Will absolutely come back for the great hospitality, maybe it was just an understaffed night.
Osteria Langhe had great food but the service was even better. We had one small issue in our night and the management team/owner handled it immediately making us feel heard. Not many owners are this thoughtful and professional. If you're in town or thinking of making a resy, go for it.
