We stopped by the restaurant during restaurant week and itw a very nice place to be. We were looking online for the restaurant's hours, to head out there this week again and see that it is closed... We have the gift certificates from Sweet Deals that expire on the 21st of September... will there be any way to use those once the store opens again?

GREAT food. Try the pesto meatball appetizer. Great pizza as well. Haven't tried the entrees but look forward to trying more!

Our first time here was fabulous. We had the crab cakes for appetizer. And for dinner we had the GF Caesar pizza and the pesto crusted chicken. It's were very flavorful and presented beautifully. It was so good!

This was a nice spot for lunch. The menu had some very good sounding items. What we ordered was quite tasty.

Fantastic authentic Italian food , no other place like it! Best place to go in this area. Extremely clean very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Food comes out fast and everything is flavorful. Imported gelato ice cream!

Came here for restaurant week. First bad sign was the restaurant running out of Burrata on day 4 of restaurant week. Second bad sign was that when my shrimp scampi arrived it didn't have a spoon in the dish. I never thought you could screw up shrimp scampi, but now I know you can. I was served pasta in oil and butter. With no flavor and absolutely no sign of any garlic. Beyond disappointed in this place.

Good dining experience. Joined them for restaurant week. Entree was delicious (tortellini with fresh spinach in a butter garlic sauce). Would definitely go again.

Sorry to say, first time there (for restaurant week), and not impressed. First, they didn't want to seat us (party of 2) as we had no reservations however the restaurant was nearly empty. My friend went back in and asked again and they did decide they could seat us. Salad was good but entrees came out before we finished the salad. Entrees and dessert so so. For Restaurant week, we both expected to be wowed. Not even close. It was an "eh" experience.

Simply Amazing! Relaxed atmosphere, prompt friendly service, delicious food! My go to spot in Howard for a quick bite or sit down dinner! Adam (chef) is always cooking up something new!
New Look! New Patio! New Menu! What used to be Sam & Louies is now Bistro 445! A delicious assortment of Italian Cuisine! I recommend getting the Pesto Meatballs! They have Gelato imported from Italy as well as Authentic Italian Beer on Tap! Will be back!

The $10 cesar salad is small. There is no chicken or veggies other than lettuce. 5 croutons, doused in parmesan, and an oily tasteless vinaigrette. How do they justify this price? The bread option does not specify what kind of bread, one would expect Italian or French bread with butter and marinara but they send pita with the blandest marinara and overgarliced butter I've ever had the displeasure to try. Won't be giving the rest of their menu a go just based on this lunch experience alone, and I don't see them lasting long with all the better food options available in this area. Save your money for somewhere worth it.

One off the best perch dinners that we have ever had.

We had the meatball sliders and the bianca pizza both were very good and everything was reasonable, will be back for sure!

The stuffed wings are fantastic! And the marinara sauce is delicious!
