Osteria 177

This place is amazing. Definitely not your typical Italian restaurant. If you live in this area, this restaurant is the closest you can get to enjoying an authentic Italian dish. And if you’re not into pasta, their steaks and other meats and seafood dishes are all delicious. I will definitely be back.

Osteria 177 is a niche restaurant with options seldom available anywhere else and you’re paying for that experience. You can easily tell the food is fresh, well prepared, and made to order by a chef who cares about what they are doing. Our dishes were tasteful but not mind blowing. To fully enjoy Osteria I say you have to fully appreciate higher end culinary experiences and all the tangibles that come with them. The reason I gave a four star rating was due to an awkward misunderstanding we had with the server regarding the wine we brought. The restaurant has a corking fee for individuals who would like to bring their own wines. We confirmed both the restaurant’s policy and the wines we were going to bring beforehand. The server misunderstood the rules and was reluctant to re-confirm them. We sought out management who made things right but not before an awkward encounter that put a damper on the experience.

Another place checked off my guide saved list. The lobster bisque should be served as an entree. It's very good. I don't even want to know the calories. For the main course order parpadelle dish that's listed online menu but not on menu upon dine in. I lucked out and they had the ingredients on hand. It was worth it. Simple but rich in flavor!

Cannot stop thinking about our dinners in Annapolis at Osteria 177. Our experience there was tremendous. Our waiter Austin gave the best service and spoke so highly of the establishment and the chef, and it made us appreciate every bite that much more! Everything was cooked to perfection. Loved the homemade tortellini with boar ragu!!!!! Excellent wine list, food and overall dining experience. Can’t wait to go back!
