Wood-fired pizzas, pastas, seafood, Italian spirits, and Sunday brunch

























"Bottomless bubbles in a casino, anyone? MGM National Harbor’s glam Italian restaurant offers an epic bottomless brunch deal on Sundays, all set to sounds of a live violist. For $49, enjoy a lavish buffet-style spread with mimosas or bloody marys for $20 more. On the first Sunday of every month, Praise 104.1 hosts special gospel performances from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Note: certain Sundays, including this Mother’s Day, feature an upgraded feast for $80. Brunch runs from 11 a.m. all the way to 5 p.m., which is longer than most." - Emily Venezky

"Enjoy a soiree at Osteria Costa featuring a menu inspired by unique love stories for $150 per couple. The four-course menu starts with tomato gelee, stracciatella, strawberry consomme, and toasted focaccia before a serving of heart-shaped ravioli, beet risotto and herbed ricotta filling, limon sauce, beet and pumpernickel streusel arrives. What follows is a seven-ounce filet, sour cherry red wine demi, and potato pave. Finally, a homemade Nutty Buddy, chocolate kisses, brown butter gelato, and brownie crumble." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"Directly off the grand entrance to MGM Casino is this upscale Mediterranean restaurant with chilled seafood platters featuring local oysters, poached shrimp, and lobster salad, or for those who prefer seafood pasta, go for the spaghetti ai frutti di mare loaded with shrimp, calamari, and clams." - Tim Ebner


"The Amalfi Coast–themed restaurant at MGM National Harbor reopened offering Neapolitan pizza, chicken al limone, linguini and clams, and launched a new bottomless-brunch experience with personalized omelet stations and playful brunch pies like cinnamon roll pizza." - Tierney Plumb

"An Italian restaurant that initially reopened with the property but then temporarily closed again after the initial post-shutdown relaunch." - Susan Stapleton
