What a great find! My wife and I took a mini-vacation in Annapolis, and dined at Osteria 177 before going to a show at Ram's Head. This was one of the best Italian restaurants we have ever frequented (we are in our 50's and have lots of experience in the field!). The room is imposing and grandiose, the menu has... more

We had lunch there twice and it is great value. For 15 $ you can order a salad or soup and a main dish from a special menue. We tried salmon, fish soup and pasta as a main course and every dish was very tasty. The lunch offer is a bargain. The service is attentive. The restaurant is far better... more

Had lunch with my husband in July 2009. The restaurant is lovely and the service was attentive. Wonderful fish and nice selection of wines by the glass. Nice view onto the main shopping street of Annapolis. more

My husband and I are foodies...and he lived in Italy...so I feel qualified to say that this is an excellent restaurant not just by Annapolis standards, but by DC or NYC standards. The service was really excellent and made good recommendations for what to order - too many things looked good and they helped us narrow it down. It was... more

We moved here from Belgium one year ago and Osteria is definitely our favorite! Once a month we go there to enjoy nice food, a great atmosphere and an outstanding service! This is our little monthly escape to Europe. We enter at 8 PM and usually leave around 11-12. This is what we call going to the restaurant. No pushy... more

Took family here last weekend and my husband and I are returning tonight. We enjoyed an excellent meal with terrific service. My husband and his brother enjoyed a remarkably original whiskey "martinis" with cloves - a bit strong for the ladies at the table though the smell was heavenly with just hints of clove and orange to balance out the... more

Don't look for red checkered tablecloths or paintings of the Tuscany hillsides here. The walls' rich and vibrant colors, the crystal filled chandeliers hung from the tall ceilings, and the unusual and varied oil paintings certainly worked to create a unique, but very welcoming atmosphere. It was like taking a little vacation without ever leaving Annapolis. So many restaurants in... more

So my wife decided to take me to OSTERIA 177 to celebrate me turning the big 4-0 on 2-21-09 (with family and friends) because I love Mediterranean and Italian cuisine; least to say, our party of 6 was quite disappointed. Our bill ended up being a little under $500.00, however, that was not the point. The atmosphere is indeed really... more

Food's pretty good, but the price is awfully high for what we got. Makes me miss Piccolo Roma even more. more
