Description: 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 wince, 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.

Incredibly great food, incredibly good service. You pay for it, though. I've been there a dozen times now and will continue to go there even though it drains my wallet. :-)

This was one of the truly memorable meals I've had... from appetizers through shared desserts, everything was just outstanding. I had Chilean sea bass prepared simply, slightly caramelized; it was perfect, and the accompaniments were excellent. I was with a group, and we shared several delicious appetizers, and desserts were also passed around.... all were outstanding. Our waiter, Dmitri, caught... More

I have not tried the dinners, but I took two friends with me for lunch on a weekday. The specials were incredible and the food was wonderful. I had not expected such awesome well-prepared Italian in Downtown Annapolis! The linguine with clams were sublime. My friends had the salmon and epchicken parmigiana. Both loved their selections. Wait staff was attentive.... More

Everything is wonderful, homemade and delicious. Great service, great wine, pasta, and seafood. We have visited this pricy, but superior restaurant 3 or 4 times over the past 2 years and are never disappointed.

We have been to Osteria 177 several times, primarily for special occasions. No matter the season, day, time, or occasion, the food and service are consistently excellent. We have never been disappointed, and are always comfortable recommending it to others.

If you're looking for cheap, go elsewhere. If you're looking for beautifully prepared Italian dishes in a relaxed friendly atmosphere, look no further. Wonderful selection of perfectly balanced flavors. Ask for Dimitri--he's a trip!

My husband and I live in Baltimore. We decided on Sunday to take a drive to Annapolis...walk through the historic district, take in the sites and enjoy the salty breeze. We decided to have lunch in town and came across Osteria 177 on Main St. AMAZING! The prosciutto and melone was very good...one change - I would add another slice... More
