About the restaurant

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.

Basta Pasta's lunch menu is very good with lots of choices. Our only complaint is the calamari was tough and not tasty. We did not eat much of it or take it home. Our entrees were just the opposite and we both ate almost everything on our plate. My friend had eggplant parmesan and I had a surf & turf salad that I thought was awesome.

Amazing!! I love Casa Mias! My husband and I and our friends dined here last night. I loved how easy it was to make reservations online. The food was exceptional!!!! We really enjoyed the crab dip, wings, burgers, chicken Chesapeake and crispy chicken sandwich. The service was good. The owners are so friendly and go out of their way to show hospitality. It was such a great experience, I can't wait to return again for dinner.
