Amazing flavors served here. Filet seasoned with so many herbs, absolutely delicious. Shrimp linguine was superb. I got a kiss on the hand from the owner, I love when the owners are part of the experience. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. 10 out of 10! Will return with every vacation to Ocean City.

True Taste of Italy in Ocean City!
If you are looking for an incredible, authentic Italian dining experience in Ocean City,
Ristorante Antipasti is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk through the door, you are treated like family.
The Food
The food here is the real deal. You can tell everything is prepared with high-quality ingredients and a deep respect for traditional Italian cooking. It’s tough to find truly **authentic** Italian cuisine beachside, but this place nails it. Every dish we tried was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed.
The Service & Hospitality
What really sets this hidden gem apart, though, is the hospitality. The service was super good—attentive, friendly, and timed perfectly.
To top it all off, the owner was incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to ensure everyone in the dining room was having a fantastic experience. That level of personal care is rare these days and made our evening truly special.
The Verdict: Amazing food, phenomenal service, and a wonderful owner. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!

We had dinner out on the patio on a Saturday night. The patio was so lovely! It was a little chilly that night but they turned on the outdoor heaters. The food was good; I was excited to see timballo. It had good sauce but it was over salted. Shrimp dish had excellent, huge shrimp, but the rest of the dish felt like an after-thought. Calamari was excellent! Service was good, attentive staff. The kitchen was backed up so we waited over 45 minutes for the main course. They apologized but made no offers. The table next to us complained and they offered them free dessert.
