Italian


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.

    Very nice restaurant! The Fig ‘Special’ appetizer was very good. My wife had the Chilean Sea Bass which was tasty until she got to the middle and it was raw, unfortunately. I had the Luigini and clams which was flavorful but did not amaze me as reviews noted. All in all a nice place for dinner.

    Excellent Italian meal that suited the interior and was a great value! The truffle pasta was as authentic as I last had in Rome earlier this year! The gemelotti pasta was fantastic, with a simple, authentic sauce. The scallop appetizer was delicious - well-cooked, firm scallops with a light crust and an amazing sauce. The staff were very friendly - our server from Italy - though the staff perhaps a little too eager to remove my plate before I was finished...too good to not eat every bite! The cost was validated by the food, atmosphere and service. I'll go back often. Highly recommended for a true and scrumptious Italian meal.

    Excellent food. Great Menu options which include daily specials. Fresh warm bread and olive oil. Caesar salads were properly dressed with flavorful croutons. I had a special zucchini sauce cavatelle with Shrimp, Scallop, and Clams. It was delicious. My wife had spaghetti and meatballs. She loved it. Portion sizes were just right. Server was great but she was being asked to cover many tables and simultaneously train a new staff member which led to some longer than ideal gaps between service steps. Our Server was very knowledgeable and nice, just a little over extended. Overall the quality, value and experience was very very good and I will definitely recommend for a very good meal with friends or family or business partners.

    Slow but good service--I think they were understaffed. The food is alright--nothing offensive about it, but the menu looks like it hasn't been updated since 2002. The canelloni looked like it could be a frozen dinner. Nothing tasted special at all--just okay, and we had broccoli raab, escarole salad, arancini, burrata, melon with proscuitto, canelloni, red snapper, and sea bass. The fish was slightly overcooked, and the sauce overwhelmed the fish. The prices are outrageous for this quality of food. It must be because of the location and the lack of good fine dining options in Annapolis. Would not recommend to anyone.

    60th anniversary dinner. Wanted a special place and this was one. Ambience, service, menu offerings and preparation were all exceptional. 3 stars for value as it is very expensive. Worthwhile though. Will likely be back but not an everyday or every week place for us.

    The food was excellent. Our server was incredibly helpful and friendly. They had great gluten free options. The service overall was a bit slow. We were celebrating our honeymoon. The restaurant asks if you’re celebrating anything when the reservation is made, as well as when we arrived. They did not do anything special to celebrate. Every other place we dined offered complimentary champagne and a dessert. Of course these things are not expected. It was just odd that they specifically ask if you’re there for a special occasion, but then do not offer anything to celebrate. We’re still very glad we went.
