While not positioned as organic, the food reflects authentic Italian execution. The pizza stands out: a light, well-fermented airy crust, balanced and refined sauce, and thoughtfully curated toppings. The menu offers elevated, gourmet combinations without being overworked. Desserts are made in-house and well executed. The flourless cake, in particular, is rich without being heavy. A excellent pizzeria in an area where clean gourmet food is inconsistent. this is Worth returning to.. Mangia Bene !!!!

Welcome to OC. Dinner happens every day even on vacation. Wanted a salad close to our hotel…read more We initially started out to just get a bite at McD's, but saw the menu for Ripieno's. We ordered our food and sat at a table waiting. It's a busy place with a lot of food options. Orders are placed, paid for and picked up at the register. Ordered an antipasto which was large enough for 2 (or eat it for 2 meals). Dressing was a herbaceous fresh vinegrette with fresh greens, red and green peppers, olives beautiful swirls of meats and cheese all piled high. SO ordered a steak sandwich which also was enjoyed as a second meal. Parking can be problematic, staff were very good, food was very good. Venue is a quick pick up place with no actual Italian ambiance other than pictures of the food. Ambiance is outside with the bay on one side and the ocean on the other. Pizza can also be ordered with different size options. Staff will even give you paper plates and plastic utensils if you need then.

Buck-a-shuck oysters, $10 for a pound of wings (Welcome To The Jungle flavor is a must-have), huge meatball sliders, and great beverage discounts. Definitely a favorite spot for us locals!

Crispy crust, perfect amount of cheese, great pepperoni. The lady who serves you is Rose. she calls you honey if you're nice to her, and I always am, since she looks like my grandmother.

Good sized bar, full service, TV's (NHL Playoffs were on) Staff were great. Side note, whomever was in charge of the playlist knew his or her assignment- well done. Very much an old Italian restaurant feel. Staff was extremely nice and attentive. And heads up the meal will arrive quickly. So do what we did. Order a drink and an appetizer then main course when ready. Portions are very generous. We had ample leftovers- see the pictures- for dinner tomorrow when we get back home.and the pricing were reasonable. The bread is crispy, fresh and warm. So to the food. All the portions are large. Calamari as an appetizer- ohhhh So good. Very light and crispy, not dense or big clumps of calamari. Sauce was spot on. Slight pepper taste to it. They had a special tonight- ossobuco (pork shank) tomato sauce and gnocchi which the mrs had- and so did four others near us. The pork was so tender and fell off the bone, very very good. I was highly encouraged to have the chicken parm. Not sure how the hell they found a chicken that big for the portion I received. Outstanding. Lightly breaded, juicy, very nice sauce and goobs of cheesy goodness.. how any human could eat this in one sitting is beyond me. We have amble leftovers for tomorrow. Mrs got cannolis to go. Pizza made on the spot.. we will be back and this spot is highly recommended.. I found the prices reasonable and better than other offerings in the area. They close at 9 so keep that in mind..
