This was the first time dining here - went as a group for a birthday celebration - the brunch menu was extensive - made to order omelette station, made to order pasta bar, all great varieties on the buffet , delicious pastries oh and did I mention the waffle station as well! Our server was great, he kept the mimosas flowing and the music was great as well, with a live musician - you must visit this hidden gem on your next outing - the price point was perfect, half the rate of what we would have spent in the downtown areas for a descent brunch as this one at this location!

This place is amazing. Walk-ins & reservations are welcomed. The decor is modern, industrial, clean and open. So beautiful. The staff are courteous from the hostess to the waiter. The staff tend to all your needs. The food is fresh, flavorful & masterfully plated. When in Maryland & craving authentic Italian, GO HERE!

We had the brunch buffet here on a Sunday morning. The food choices are limited, but the ambiance was nice and we added on bottomless mimosas for fun. Chef Joe was a pleasure to speak with and he made some banging pasta at the pasta bar. Go give him a visit!

This place was magical! The food was excellent. The violinist was amazing!! I was in town for a function and this was brunch on Sunday after all of the events. I will definitely return. Only request is more juice flavors for the mimosas.

Aside from gambling, me and my friends come to MGM to dine in at Osteria Costa due to Chef Joe. Chef Joe always has a smile on his face and cooks our food with love, charisma, and speed. He creates an engaging and lighthearted environment that makes me and my friends wanting to come back for second plate every time! I almost never name drop in reviews unless the service is top tier, but honestly Chef Joe deserves it. Chef Joe should get a pay raise ASAP for the value he brings to this restaurant!

Let’s talk about a restaurant, Osteria Costa, located in the MGM National Harbor in Oxon, MD. The entire experience at Osteria was nothing short of amazing. We didn’t have a reservation but were seated immediately. Our server was very attentive and did a great job with food and drink recommendations. We started with meatballs and dipped the bread in the red sauce, which was delicious. I ordered the Branzino, which was cooked perfectly, with all the flavors complementing each other well. The shrimp spaghetti was also really good. I had no complaints about the food, service, ambiance, or drinks. You definitely have to give this restaurant a try—you will not be disappointed.
