Osteria 177

The best Italian in the Baltimore metro area. A must visit.

Dimitri made our dining experience amazing! Love Osteria!

This is our go to date night restaurant. We love the food and the staff is always incredibly nice and helpful.

Extremely wide choice of food.
All that arrived at our table was very tasty!!

Simply spectacular meal! The veal ravioli, beef carpaccio, caprese, and gnocchi were all incredible and the service was attentive and professional. The wine list is extensive and our server was able to help us pair wines with entrees perfectly. I highly recommend this spot!

Encellent service from Demetri. Nice timing between courses and as always excellent food

Our dining experience was excellent and among the most enjoyable we've had in some time. The variety of menu options, the flavors of each offering and their presentation made for a most enjoyable evening. We were particularly pleased, once again, to have a gentleman host us, Dimitri, who has always been very, very personable and expert in introducing us to a variety of menu and wine options. His personal investment in the quality of our evening adds immensely to the already great fare at Osteria 177 and is greatly appreciated. We look forward to seeing him again, soon. Thank you.

Chris, the waiter, is the best ever

Dinner was fantastic. We were seated in Senator Astle’s Private Booth. And wouldn’t you know it, the former Senator was at the bar, and came over to introduce himself. Very nice treat!!

As always the dinner was excellent. Great waiter who was there when we needed him and gone when we didn’t.

The food was fabulous and our waiter Dimitri was phenomenal!!!!

We had a great time! The food was amazing per usual, and had a wonderful anniversary dinner. The service is immaculate!

Excellent! We had the tuna and filet mignon and will definitely return.

Excellent dining with personal, friendly staff in an warm inviting ambiance. The waiter was exceptional and recommended fresh fish and a wine that complimented our meal. For dessert I enjoyed a delicious chocolate hazelnut cake and a perfect latte. Great location in downtown Annapolis.

The server knew the menu well enough to make decent recommendations. My husband and I both enjoyed our meals and it was obvious that the restaurant is well run. The food come out in a timely manner and both meals were hot even though our meal choices, as different as they were, could have made that difficult. The staff constantly circled bussing and filling glasses. This was seamless and unobtrusive.

This was our second time here, and we were not as impressed as the first time. The apps were very good, the veggie terrine, arugula salad and something with prosciutto and parmesan that was excellent. 3 of us had pasta entrees, they were very good also. My dad ordered Covino fish, but asked for it to be prepared a different way than the menu. When it came it was not what he ordered but he didn’t want to send it back since it had taken quite awhile for the entrees to come and he didn’t want to have to wait much longer. The waiter offered but he declined . The fish was good, but nothing memorable. It was an expensive dish and I feel the waiter should have offered a discount. Also my husband’s beer had something in the glass. They brought him a new one but should have taken it off the bill. And lastly, my husband ordered chocolate mousse. It cane with a large amount of white chocolate in the center, which if he had know that he wouldn’t have gotten it. He pointed it out to the waiter, who agreed chocolate mousse shouldn’t have white chocolate. Again, he could have sent it back but did not. And again, I feel the waiter should have offered to take it off the bill. My last complaint is that my dad is hard of hearing and I had to translate everything the waiter said. He spoke very quietly, so I think once you see that a diner can’t hear what you’re saying you should try to speak louder. He didn’t need to yell, but he could have taken it up a notch. Overall we enjoyed our meal but would have liked to have better service.

Excellent food. Service overall was great, but I felt really pressured by the waiter to order a drink. He must have asked five times ultimately saying "come on its Saturday". I finally got him off my back by telling him I was pregnant and couldn't drink.

Everything was top notch! Our server was informative and very attentive! I can’t say enough about the quality of the food from salads to desert......AMAZING!!

I would have given the food 5 stars, however there were no vegetarian pasta dishes on the menu. The risotto was good, but I was really looking forward to trying one of the vegetarian pasta dishes that I saw when checking out the menu online.

Food was great! Ambiance and interior design leaves something to be desired. It’s Italian matches with contemporary art. Strange. Also they have a chandelier hanging from their aluminum air ducts. Needs a renovation to attract a wider range of crowd. We are in our 30/40s and we’re the youngest couple in there.

Food and service was amazing!

Outstanding, by far the best Italian restaurant in the Annapolis/Baltimore area.

Great time, amazing service, great singer and piano player loved the art work

Service extremely slow. Server was fine just understaffed

Top quality food and service in the heart of old town Annapolis--what a total treat!

The food was amazing and our server was excellent. I've always wanted to try out this place and I am really glad that I did. Best piece of fish I've had in a long time. I will be back

We have been going to Osteria for 10 years .... always have great service and a great meal!! Go Navy!!

Excellent. Wonderful food and service but we did go on a Tuesday night so it was not busy.

Love this restaurant! We live a couple hours away, but enjoy coming here to enjoy an evening in Annapolis.
The food is excellent as well as the service. ...Always delightful!

The food was excellent and our server made several great suggestions. Unfortunately he disappeared between clearing dinner and asking for a coffee/dessert order - for about 30 minutes. We were all too tired by then to order dessert. We were seated at a very large table for 8 or 10 and we were a party of six. It was also very cold and drafty near the window.

Osteria 177 is a top tier restaurant in Annapolis. It is pricey bit worth every dollar. We had the special, a pasta with safron sauce, crab, and shrimp. It was perfectly lovely, the flavors are wonderful. You must try the appetizers, their perfect cappuccino, and desserts. Their specials are always unique and we look there first. Dress nice and prepare for a unique and delightful dining experience.

The food is so beautifully presented that you hate to dig in and destroy it but dig in we did. I had seared tuna on a bed of arugula with lightly fried potato batons...the sauce was delicious. I could detect a hint of tarragon. Granddaughter had pasta with a non meat sauce which she said was delicious. My husband had lamb Osso bucco which he claims was just outstanding.
We all had desserts which did not disappoint..spiced panna cotta with berries, creme brûlée and lovely profiteroles.
The only downside is we agreed that it is overpriced.

Another wonderful meal for my wife’s birthday. We hope to be back soon.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Knowledgeable Italian waiter was beyond accommodating and even allowed us to switch up menu items to fit our dietary needs and desires. Never rushed, calm atmosphere, amazing food.

We had a delightful Friday night dinner. The salmon pastrami appetizer was exceptional, as was the escarole salad my husband had. We each had a pasta dish that were obviously fresh and delicious. All the food showed a great attention to detail. The server was very helpful with the wine choices, even offering a taste before purchasing a bottle, which turned out to be a good idea since it wasn't to our liking, but the second bottle was terrific! All in all a great meal - I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Would recommend for any special occasion. I was on Whole 30 diet and they were able to accommodate my dietary needs and still made me feel special. Waiter was very attentive and kind.

Simply the best restaurant in Annapolis.

Our favorite Italian restaurant in Annapolis and Pasta specials were outstanding !! Were disappointed in the caesar salads which were way overdressed and "gloppy "

Great spot. Real italian food with terrific staff. Excellent menu.

Best restaurant in Annapolis by far. Great food and service.

Excellent food and customer service Wine selection was a great variety. I recommend the Chocolate Hazelnut Cake!!
