    Filomena does not disappoint! Always perfectly cooked pasta, chicken and seafood. The place is already decorated for Christmas which makes it quite an experience with a polar bear dressed in his best and Santa not to mention all the streamers and stuff hanging from the ceiling. No place like it. Only downside is they fill the place up and it gets tight and warm down in that basement. A must for any trip to DC and Georgetown!

    Had a 5 o’clock reservation but arrived about ten minutes early. Hostess could hardly speak and we weren’t seated until five after the hour. Server was busy but acknowledged us that she would be right with us. Once she ended up at our table she was apologetic, bubbly and full of energy. Super refreshing to see someone love their job, understand multitasking and still make you feel like you’re her only table. She was incredible! I’m probably spelling her name wrong, but Nakara needs a raise and the ability to train others.

    Wow, as advertised, great host, server, manager!!!! The food we ordered was all superb!!! Crab cake to start, wife ordered the meatloaf, I had the short rib stroganoff. We had reservations and thankful we thought ahead, the 1330 lunch rush was visible on the weekend. I ordered a bloody mary, only portion of the meal which I thought lacked attention. Manager passed by the table and was very nice!!! Thank you for the Carrot cake, it was phenomenal. Highly would recommend and glad we came!!!

    We have always tried to dine at Osteria when we are in Annapolis. The food is prepared perfectly and the service is excellent. we usually have Dimitri as our server and as he is a certified sommelier he always has an excellent and affordable suggestion for wine pairings. This is a must-do restaurant.
