Our expectations were exceeded in our visit, given all that we’d heard. The restaurant is comfy and cozy inside. Our server, Kate, was very attentive, helpful and friendly. Every dish was a culinary masterpiece. The pasta was fresh and perfectly appointed. We’re truffle and garlic fans - so everything was well seasoned. The kicker were the dulce arancini! Never seen something like that - they were fantastic!

We're so glad we tried this new-ish Italian place for dinner with my mother-in-law in Edgewater! The service was excellent, the atmosphere quite good for what they have to work with, and the food was the best Italian food I've had outside of Italy. The only reason I didn't give the food 5 stars is because there were no vegetarian or vegan options for the entrees. As someone who likes to limit their meat intake for health, humane and sustainability reasons, I would frequent this place more often if there were at least one vegetarian and one vegan choice for dinner. I was happy to see some for the appetizers (we had the delicious portobello mushrooms) and salads, and these would definitely work for a lunch.

About the restaurant

Osteria 177 is the ultimate expression of an Italian tavern where the main attraction is imported delicacies of one-of-a-kind food and wine. Adorned by barreled wine, an Osteria would never lack the sought out local specialties, spices, cheeses, fish or meats. It was here that many people tried to alleviate life's stresses by numbering themselves with good food, good wine, and good company. The owner/chef of the Osteria would take the utmost pride in stocking these praised elements as the basis for mouthwatering meals, a delicious dance-for-all of the five senses. This is the basis for Osteria 177.

We were there to celebrate my birthday. The food was delicious. I had the seafood gumbo. I tried it once before and it is still my favorite. Will definitely order again. My husband had the shrimp and grits. He said that it’s the best that he ever had. Our waitress was very good and attentive. She brought out a dessert for me to celebrate my birthday. She was great.

Always enjoy our visits to Luna Blu. All enjoyed their food: Seafood Fra Diavolo, Vitello Val D’Aosta, and Penne Mare E Monte. Dining Under the Stars with a band and singer made the warm summer evening perfect.

Excellent menu; just about everything we tried was delicious (don’t miss the avocado tacos!). Nice cocktail menu including a decent selection of mocktails. Great location away from the crowds of downtown but still very walkable from our hotel. As the restaurant got busier our service noticeably declined, but I would absolutely go again to see if that was a fluke.
