Restaurants near St. John's College Library

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 !

Awesome across the board. Lamb was killer. Server was awesome. Feel bad I can’t recall his name but he was an Italian man. Loved everything

Service is excellent and attentive, the atmosphere is closer to NYC Manhattan than Annapolis which I love, cozy yet comfortable. Alternatively sit outside and you feel like you are in Europe! Excellent cocktails and bread service before dinner. The 4 course special includes an appetizer, a salad, an entree, and a dessert, a terrific value even if you need to take the dessert home with you after such a wonderful Italian meal. The quality and taste of the food is Luna Blu’s strongest suit, creative dishes and presentations that will leave you eagerly awaiting a return visit. Best Italian in Naptown by far!

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.

Excellent authentic Italian cuisine. Excellent wine selections — all Italian. Our waitress was perfect in her recommendations and contributions to a delightful evening. service was very attentive.
