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.

    I have been dining at Cafe Normandie since I was a midshipman (an early female) at the Naval Academy. I now live in Annapolis and this is one of my truly favorites. Do not miss the escargot !

    What an excellent experience! The service was top notch, food was tasty and hot, and the ambiance was fun and pretty. My husband I ordered the crab lettuce wraps, lamb chops, beef kabobs, grilled oysters and tuna tartare… we’d give everything 5 stars. The only item we didn’t love was the crab bruschetta due to the amount of mayo but the bruschetta bread was soft and delicious and crab was fresh and abundant. We’ll definitely come back to this restaurant.
