Ristorante Antipasti: Authentic Italian Dining in Ocean City, MD

6.21.25 The staff was really nice. They suggested we sit outdoors, and that was lovely until a guest came in with a dog. I personally don't think it's OK to bring your pets to restaurants regardless of whether it's indoors or outdoors. Had I known dogs were allowed, I'd have either not chosen this restaurant or dined indoors. Our bread was rock hard so we asked the waiter for a new one. The white and red sangrias had no fruit in them except an orange slice. I'm just used to more fruit. If you upgrade your entree garden salad to a beet salad, for instance, it's a $4.50 upcharge. Our veal dishes (2 veal parms and 1 veal gorgonzola) were cooked to perfection and were very flavorful. We were shocked that they didn't come with pasta. Maybe that's a CT thing because every single Italian restaurant in CT serves pasta with each entree. We also had the tiramasu, which was delicious, and the apple tart (which was basically a piece of pie). For 3 adults, including the tip, it was $240. The veal medallion dish and the tiramasu were my fave. Parking was a little tight, but we got a spot close by.

Inside is nicer than the outside. Totally worth going to for the exquisite food. Even creamy pasta dishes are flavorful without being heavy. Wines are well paired with food. Excellent and knowledgeable service. A refreshing break from fast food around.

Every aspect of our dining experience was superb. The service was as good as the food and the food was amazing! We will be back for more of everything! Thank you to the entire team for making my wife’s birthday special!

Our last night in ocean city and we were told to try here. So Glad we did! It was absolutely amazing! Normally we take leftovers home, well.. Here we did not! If you ever get the chance... CHECK IT OUT! ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! + The staff is AMAZING TO!!

Beautiful restaurant. Food is as authentic as it gets. Amazing Italian dishes cooked like they are in Italy. Owner has been proudly serving the area for decades. He’s a local legend. The sauce and ingredients taste so fresh and well made. The cannoli was the best cannoli I’ve ever had in my life.

Where do I begin!? The food… To die for! Flavorful and light so you don’t feel stuffed, but you get the true experience of a wonderful meal! Megan, our server, was friendly and attentive and gave great recommendations!!! The cocktails did not disappoint. There was plenty of alcohol in our martinis. They did not skimp at all. The owner, was there, he was friendly and made recommendations himself! The entire staff moved like well oiled machines! It was enjoyable just to watch them be so attentive towards their patrons!! We highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

Have been coming here since 1996. Over the years it has remained a staple for us. Quality Italian cuisine. Just went tonight and had the pappardelle and it was fantastic. When the owner is there the food is on point and fantastic. Over the pandemic when we stopped by the owner was not as present and the quality we found slightly slipped. Now that he is back the quality is right back where it use to be. So happy as we love this spot.
