Because only one other person was there, we were able to easily get a place to park. I can imagine this being a very popular place to come and watch the sun disappear, particularly when the weather is warmer and you can enjoy the moment instead of try to stay warm. There's a gazebo where you can sit. There's also a small pier but I wasn't sure if that was part of the park or private property so we didn't investigate.

While not positioned as organic, the food reflects authentic Italian execution.

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 !!!!

Let me begin by saying, we have always been huge Ripieno's fans. It's a place we rave about and…read morehave always brought family to or suggested they dine at while in OCMD. The Greek salad and Margherita pizza is our go to, but we have had their cheesesteak subs, lasagna, and their various assortments of desserts. Ripieno's special-brew chai iced tea is something else that has always kept us coming back. That is until today. While the pizza and salad were still very good, they weren't as outstanding as they have been in the past. Customer service is not the same as it once was. When we ordered the chai tea, this evening, no orange and lemon slices were offered. As we were dining outside, I walked in to ask if they had orange and lemon slices for the iced-tea available. The cashier first seemed as though he didn't see me, and then when i caught his attention and asked about the slices of orange and lemon for the tea, he looked at me as if he didn't not know what I was talking about. I looked at the girl behind the counter that walked over with the salad dressing that had not been delivered with our salads and asked her about the fruit. She looked confused as well and said they didn't have any. The iced-tea on its own is very good, but the slices of orange and lemon really make it great! Back to the food...when our pizza was brought to the table, the gentleman that delivered it, (I think he may have been attending the wood-fire oven) threw our paper plates on the table. Next came the Greek salads. We were short two sets of silverware which was noticed by the second server. She said she would return with silverware, but didn't. So, I went back inside and asked for the two sets of silverware we needed. I was asked if I wanted plastic. I responded that I would prefer metal silverware. The girl disappeared and returned several minutes later with the silverware. I realize it is the busy season, but the restaurant was not busy. We've been during the busy season and in the off season and have always had wonderful experiences. I am truly hoping that this was a one-time thing, and that Ripieno's will return to the same familiar place we used to love to go.

After driving down, we were lucky to find free parking for my Audi on 11th Street, located just a block away from the boardwalk.

During our stroll, we stopped at the Kite Loft to buy a hot air balloon and picked up a large bucket of fries from Thrashers (more details regarding the Kite Loft and Thrashers to come). In total, we tracked 6,000 steps. We had such a nice time that we agreed we will definitely return to experience more of the boardwalk in the future.

The beautiful photos throughout the restaurant added so much character and made the space feel inviting. We enjoyed the lasagna, pizza, wine, and handcrafted mixed drinks, and every bite was absolutely delicious. One of my favorite touches was watching the fresh cheese being hand-grated right at our table--it made the meal feel extra special and authentic. The owner personally took the time to walk us around, share recommendations, and make us feel right at home. That level of hospitality really stood out. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and the restaurant was spotless, including the bathrooms. Everything, from the food to the service and even the packaging for our leftovers, reflected attention to detail and pride in the customer experience. If you're looking for authentic Italian food, exceptional hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere in Ocean City, Lombardi's is a must-visit. It's the kind of place that turns a meal into a memorable experience, and I can't wait to return!

As New Yorkers, we're always looking for a good NY-style pizza when we're away from home, and…read moreMinoe's Pizza came pretty close! We tried the cheese pizza, Brooklyn pizza, a calzone, and garlic knots, so we had a chance to sample quite a bit of the menu. The pizza had that classic NY-style feel that we were hoping for--good crust, plenty of flavor, and the right kind of foldable slice. The calzone and garlic knots were also good additions to the meal. Our only criticism was that some of the food was a little on the salty side, but overall we really enjoyed it. The inside was clean and spacious, with plenty of room to sit and enjoy your meal. There is also some outdoor seating available, which is a nice option when the weather is good. For NYers visiting Ocean City, Minoe's Pizza is definitely worth a try. It's probably the closest we've come to getting that familiar NY-style pizza taste while on vacation!

I had baked ziti and it was horrible. They don't drain the pasta. The ricotta cheese is just caked on the bottom and I really don't believe that was mozzarella cheese on top. The only thing good was the sauce and ziti. It just sits in a puddle of water. Horrible. Very disappointing! My mother got the Fettuccini Alfredo with Shrimp. Again, puddle of water from not draining the pasta properly and the Alfredo sauce is tasteless and watered down from the undrained pasta. Yes they were busy but waiting over an hour for our pizza to come out was just ridiculous! Very disappointing. I just hope this is not a trend because good pizza is hard to find around here. Let's not even talk about the price! $90 which we could have had a fine dining meal for just a few dollars more. The ambiance is a pizza parlor style and they have a bar. We've only had the pizza with sausage and it's delicious! Now I'm afraid to try other types.

It was blindingly bright that every moment from that day dimmed in comparison and I was instantly transported to my childhood where I was microwaving a cardboard tray of Salisbury steak, frozen corn, and what I thought was pudding but after the microwave was done it was a brownie. Beep beep beep... as I opened the microwave, a bright light shone and I was transported back to present day... staring at that penguin light statue. This must be what it's like to find god.

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..
