With the opening of Arturo’s Trattoria, chef/owner Arturo Ottaviano brings to Northern Anne Arundel County the same exquisite Italian coastal cuisine that established his flagship restaurant, Osteria 177, as the number one fine dining experience in Annapolis.

In addition to the extensive and creative menu, the chef offers a host of unique daily specials, featuring delicacies such as soft shell crabs and squid ink pasta. Arturo’s also provides prix-fixe menus for any type and size of group, from rehearsal dinners to corporate meetings.
