Osteria Costa, a casino-based Italian restaurant specializing in dishes from the Amalfi Coast, lands at MGM National Harbor this Wednesday, October 24. The newcomer in the glass-encased atrium level fills a gap left behind by the January closure of celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson’s attempted D.C. venture.

Osteria Costa, the opulent facility’s first foray into Italian fine dining, offers gamblers and guests a range of spirits, whole branzino, and an array of Neapolitan-style pizzas from its hearth oven. Some of the more enticing-sounding starters ($12 to $19) are stracchino cheese-filled flat breads made from scratch, meatballs mixed with whipped ricotta, and a seafood salad that features squid and poached shrimp.
