Cameron Grant and Aldo Zaninotto made waves in Chicago in 2014 when they opened Osteria Langhe, their much-loved Piedmontese restaurant. The pair recently followed that restaurant with a more casual version called Animale, also in the Logan Square neighborhood. Grant is the chef who cooked in Piemonte for three years. Zaniotto is a veteran restaurateur (he owned the original Carlucci) who loves Piemonte wine. They say Animale is inspired by the characteristics of an animal, one that feeds itself to survive. There certainly are elements of Animale that are wild, not the least of which is a system that requires customers to order a high level of Piedmonte specialties at a counter. Also wild is a segment of the menu that offers several terrific examples of offal. The restaurant was designed to evoke a forest-like atmosphere. Take a look inside.
