Tortello Signature Tortelli di Burrata Price

Tortello’s Signature Tortelli di Burrata is a handmade pasta dish crafted from imported Italian '00' flour and eggs. Chefs fill the dough with creamy burrata cheese sourced directly from Puglia before boiling the pasta to a tender finish. The dish arrives coated in a classic butter and sage sauce, garnished with toasted hazelnuts for crunch, aged balsamic vinegar for acidity, and a dusting of Parmigiano Reggiano. The Tortello Signature Tortelli di Burrata price ranges from $23.00 to $25.00.

The butter and sage sauce profile of the Tortelli di Burrata parallels the Tortelloni di Zucca at Monteverde, though Tortello focuses on a savory dairy filling rather than sweet squash. A side of house-made Focaccia helps sop up the remaining butter, while a seasonal salad provides a bitter contrast to the rich cheese. Guests often pair this entree with a glass of Vermentino or finish the meal with the Tiramisu. Customer feedback praises the interplay of textures, specifically noting how the toasted hazelnuts cut through the softness of the burrata and dough.

Dario Monni established this pastificio and dining counter to replicate the fresh pasta shops found throughout Italy. The team uses flour from a family-run mill dating back to 1832 that washes the wheat prior to milling, ensuring a pure flavor profile. Tortello operates as a single-location casual eatery in Chicago, IL, where diners can watch the production process through a street-facing window or purchase fresh noodles to cook at home.
