I’m giving this place two stars only because the staff was extremely nice. Unfortunately, the food was actually very bad.
I’m from New York and have tried many Italian restaurants, and I can honestly say that this was one of the worst chicken parm dishes I’ve ever had.
The kitchen was extremely busy, and we waited more than 40 minutes for our food. However, they told us about the wait in advance, so that part was understandable.
The chicken parm was completely covered in pink sauce, which made the breading soggy instead of crispy. The chicken itself also had no seasoning at all.
It didn’t come with pasta, so I ordered a side of angel hair pasta with pink sauce. The pasta was severely overcooked, and the sauce had almost no flavor. It basically tasted like plain angel hair pasta.
My wife ordered the gnocchi with cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was good, but the gnocchi itself was completely tasteless.
We paid more than $160 for two people, which felt extremely overpriced, especially compared to restaurants in New York.
I don’t know whether the food was this bad because the kitchen was so busy, but something was definitely wrong.

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!

Went for dinner Friday Jul 31st and got seated right away and table touched in the next minute. Laura our server from Bulgaria was on top of the game, knew the menu and exactly what she was doing! Excellent service drinks came fast as well as our burrata salad and bread. Order a rigatoni dinner dish and a vitela with a side of ziti. Pasta was cooked al dente and well served portions. Again Laura made sure we were okay by touching table every time. Deserts were great. Tiramisu and strawberry cake! Great night!
