    We had the most wonderful lunch at Brasa in Ocean City! There were four of us, and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The empanadas were absolutely fabulous--some of the best we've had! Everything was delicious and made for such a memorable lunch. Cana was our waiter and was fabulous. And I have to mention the espresso martini--it was hands down the best espresso martini I've ever had! Congratulations to Anthony as the manager!!!

    Booked dinner here Thursday night. New place in OCMD this season - a fusion of Argentine grille and pizza and pasta. Cool looking place, large bar area and cool colors with an open kitchen. We were sat immediately and placed a drink order - I went with an old fashioned and a iced tea. Drinks were good. We had Villi as a waitress which stuck with me bc of the different name. She was very friendly and made small talk with us during the meal. Felt like she was really trying - which was fine. We started with the burrata bread and a Caesar salad. The bread was good, sweet notes and the burrata on top was good. Small plates so both these and the Caesar were on the smaller side. The salad was good just a little off - like the dressing was missing something. We also ordered a Margherita pizza as well which came out relatively quick - and was very good. With the open kitchen it's easy to watch this process of the wood fired oven. Very tasty pizza. For my entree I was split on several things so I went different and for the meat platter: chicken, steak and sausage with potatoes. The presentation of this was LACKING to say the least- the items were just kind of tossed on a plate and brought out. The chicken was good - but really small and tough on some spots. The steak was overcooked (never asked what temp I would like it). It was chopped on the top of it and really crispy on the top edge - tough to chew. The sausage was fine - I'm not a big sausage guy but the flavor was good. It came out lukewarm/cold. Meh. Don't know here. For dessert we got the chocolate pie and the lemon pie cake thing. Both were very good and the flavors were sweet. Probably the best part of the meal. It's still a newer place so I won't be really hard on them - but the execution on the entree will need to be addressed.

    The poorly made "brick oven" Proscuitto arrugula and cheese pizzaa and mushroom pizza

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel this experience is worth sharing in hopes it helps this new restaurant improve. The staff were friendly -- and honestly, that was the highlight of the visit. The service itself was disorganized from start to finish. My husband waited 30 minutes for his wine, and the waitress even came back to acknowledge he was still waiting -- yet it didn't arrive until after our entrée. Meanwhile, my Diet Coke came right away. Our appetizers (mussels and calamari) arrived quickly and were okay, but when our pizzas came out, we had to bus our own table and push the dirty dishes aside so the waiter could set them down. We counted the staff walking by, and not one person cleared those appetizer plates. Then came the pizza- it was doughy with no crunch and no cheese. It seemed like burnt bits had been sprinkled on the bottom of the pan to fake a brick-oven look. We tried a few slices, but it was overly salty and honestly just wasn't pizza. There seemed to be a lot of staff congregating by the kitchen, but no manager was visible to check on anything, especially concerning for a newly opened restaurant. Our waiter was hard to find, and we noticed other tables searching for theirs too, not getting their drinks and receiving the wrong appetizers. It felt like plenty of staff but no structure. The whole time we were there, our focus was on where our drink was, where our waiter was, and what was actually going on. A few other notes: they took about five photos of us at the table that we never received, and when the check came, it included an automatic 3.5% credit card charge. When we said we were paying cash, the waitress told us to do the math ourselves. I hope this feedback helps with structure, management, and getting things out on time. The staff need more training, and there really needs to be someone present to oversee the floor rather than focusing on the aesthetics and photos no one even receives.

    The booths near the bar with old photos of Italian pizzeria kind of shots.

    New place just opened about two weeks ago. Great location right in Ocean Highway at 33rd street. Has a lot of both indoor and outdoor seating. Saturday night and they were very busy! Nice large bar area quite a few ppl eating dinner there too. We had the large prawn appetizer-very good. I had the flat iron streak and my husband had the mushroom pizza both were very good. The pizza is New York style, very thin can fold it. The steak is a flat iron so not as tasty as a ribeye but I realized that when I ordered it. The fingerling potatoes served with it were to die for! The new owner stopped by our table to ask how we liked everything nice touch!

    Branzino

    Food was delicious. The service was spot on. The atmosphere was pleasant, although a bit noisy. Too many hard surfaces.

    Grilled octopus

    That was a fantastic meal. The woodfired shrimp as well as octopus were outstanding, and the sampler platter was a great way to get a taste of everything on the menu. The chimichurri was next level.

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..

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 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.
