Bread with dipping oil
Holly S.

Food and service top notch!!! Every year we come to ocean city and as we are driving out I say, we didn't try the cheese wheel. This year, our first stop was at the cheese wheel. In a town full of restaurants, you should definitely try to stop for some good old fashion pasta(homemade and fresh made). As I was eating it, I was picturing an old nonna in the kitchen cooking... absolutely the best Italian food I've had in a long time. When in OC and you need a break from all the blue crab, you must stop . You will not regret it. Oh...and I forgot to mention the bread.... Warm and soft with a crusty outer crust. Amazing !!!

Cheese Wheel Pasta's Buttered Noodles

The food is delicious!!! I love the menu, too! The waitresses and waiters are very polite and they do very well at their job. Cheese Wheel Pasta from the inside ambiance is a very quiet and small place with lots of decorative pictures and images. If you are down in Ocean City Maryland, this is the place to go! Homemade pasta and a wheel of cheese is on your way!

Linguini with tomato sauce and meatballs

Cheese Wheel Pasta is a food stand on the OCMD boardwalk. It's a small space that's very popular around mealtimes, so get there early. They only have three dedicated tables, so best to take it to go. So what is it? There's a big cheese wheel (from what I could gather, a pecoromano). All the pastas are placed in the wheel and sauteed in front of you before being prepared in one of a handful of ways. If you like cheese on your pasta, the Cheese Wheel is for you. By preparing it this way, there's extra cheese with every bite. Your choices are alfredo, alla vodka, meat sauce, pesto, or tomato sauce. The menu is small, but I think it works. Base price for each entree is only $9.95, so it's very affordable compared to today's market. So we ordered: Fettucini with alfredo and broccoli ($12.95) Linguini with meat sauce ($14.95) Penne alla Vodka ($9.95) Linguini with tomato sauce and meatballs ($13.95) It was great to share these dishes with everyone in our family and we'll definitely be back here for a reasonably priced unique culinary experience. They do offer focaccia bread and ravioli, but we didn't try it.

Waited around 10 minutes to sit & they were quick to give out food. Very good food & quick Service, definitely recommend!

Hidden Gem on the boardwalk. Owners are super sweet and customer service is on point. Everything is handmade and made to order. Enjoyed watching the pasta being tossed in the cheese wheel. The focaccia is absolutely delicious!! My whole order was delicious!

Baked meatballs forgot to take pic prior to digging in

This place was cute little upscale pizzaria feel. I scoped out the menu and review prior and was excited to try. We got there right before the rush so there was no wait. Surprising because it was the air show Saturday evening . We started with the bread and dipping of course it was delicious only the first basket is complimentary. Additional baskets Cost 1.50 not bad. We started with the baked meatball appetizer it was amazing ! Everyone in our party got an Alfredo either chicken or shrimp. The shrimp were JUMBO. I got the sausage ala Vodka and added mushrooms. It was a hit. The only con was they did not have any type of soft drink which for me was fine but some in my party would have liked it. They have water and tea. I will definitely be returning to try the other yummy menu items I didn't get to try . The second best thing next to the taste was the price. Great service and Affordable dining in a nice location.

Chicken Parm and Penne al Vodka with sausage

Came in and it's such a nice restaurant, the workers smiled and ask if you are dining in our doing carry out. She told us to pick a place to sit then she came over with cups and water for us. We started with warm bread and olive oil with balsamic, it was so good we ordered another one. For our entrees my boyfriend got the chicken parm, they serve the chicken on a separate plate than the noodles which i enjoyed. The chicken was delicious. I got the Vodka penne pasta with sausages in it, i LOVED it! Both of these dishes were so good.

This place was absolutely a perfect dinning experience. Customer service was amazing as well as the food. Compliments to the chef and I will revisit on my next trip OCMD.

Spaghetti on the cheese block
Pratiksha R.

Usually, when we want something to grab and go, pasta is never on our minds as we usually think of pizza, tacos, and burgers. But this place makes you consider pasta in the same league. The spaghetti tastes different and yummy. The owner mentioned that they source everything from italy. It's put on a big pecorino cheese and then add sauce to it. I asked for pesto sauce and it was great. It's great meal for one person and you don't have save it for the next meal. It's worth the 10$.

Al Bolognese with linguini.
Tanya S.

We are back in OC, and we stopped by here for dinner. This time, I didn't see the spag bol, so I had Penne Alla Vodka with mushrooms, and it was delish! And a big enough portion to share..if someone were inclined to do so..which I was not. (Also my son had ordered his own spaghetti and meatballs, and doesn't like mushrooms, so there's that) it was loaded with mushrooms (see pic) and was sooooo good. I heard some delivery guys who were standing in line say that they stop here for food every time they have a delivery nearby. It was bustling but the wait was minimal. And the view was gorgeous. Yumm O

Banger place in OC! I find myself entranced looking at the chef just lugging my penne over this 100lb ish wheel of cheese. It's such a beautiful art. I also had foccacia and meatballs- yuhHhHhH amazing.

We ordered the Margherita pizza and the Brother Pasta (everything but chicken) -- both were tasty. I also ordered Long Island Iced Tea. service was quick, and the beach view made it even better.

She said they only have one size, 12 inches. If you get a 12" cheese pizza it costs $18.50. I wanted pepperoni so that was an additional $2.99. I thought this is really overpriced but I was hungry so I just decided to go with it. A bit later the pizza came out. I couldn't believe what I saw. This pizza looked like a train wreck. It came out with pizza sauce on top of the cheese on some parts of the pizza. This looked more like abstract art than pizza. Not only that, this was the sloppiest looking pizza I had ever seen. I can't believe that somebody would make something like this and have it presented to someone. I would be really embarrassed if I made something that came out looking like that. What was the purpose of this extra sauce on top of the cheese? That was a first. That's not how it's supposed to be. After a while, I wondered, "could it be that the additional pizza sauce was covering up something?" So, I scraped away some of it and I noticed shredded mozzarella cheese not fully cooked hiding underneath all of that sauce. Nothing like cutting corners and giving your own customers overpriced crap-food just to make things easier for yourself huh? See the picture of the slice. I just don't understand how somebody could cook something like that, have it served to their customers and not be embarrassed by it. The crust wasn't good either. You can tell just by looking at it. In terms of quality, this pizza is one step above a $hit sandwich. How can you screw up a pizza? Maybe this guy isn't cut out to be a pizza maker or maybe it's simply above his pay grade. I should have read all these reviews before I tried this place. I don't know this place manages to stay in business. I spent $27.42 for a 12" pepperoni pizza and 1 Dr. Pepper.

The interior gives off pizza shop vibes, their back patio got lots of sunlight and gave us a great view of the ocean. Our drinks came out quickly and the happy hour deals were great, each of our crushes were only $6! The eggplant tower was spectacular, the chicken strips were standard, and the pizza was honestly the best I had during my weekend stay in OCMD. The service was awesome here. Scott was our waiter and made sure we were comfortable, he moved us inside no problem after the sun became too much. He was patient with our group and took our orders quickly, Andrea also circled back to make sure our group was being serviced appropriately which we greatly appreciated! The team here was awesome and the food was both delicious & reasonably priced. We recommend toast & we will be back!

Desserts are made in-house and well executed. The flourless cake, in particular, is rich without being heavy.

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.

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..

Miserably. This place is disgusting. Had to take my daughter to the bathroom, that was a disgusting. A full mop bucket was sitting in the middle of the hallway that we had to fight flies to get through. None of the doors locked so I can't securely let my daughter use the bathroom. And it hasn't been cleaned since probably last summer. The food- No how matter how much syrup and butter I put on my daughter's French toast, it was still horrible. She took one bite and would not touch it. And she loves French toast. Then, I told the waitress that I was not going to pay for it because it was disgusting Soggy and not fully cooked and she offered to get a new one from the kitchen. I told her no, I don't think it's going to get any better. I told her that I will not be paying for it. Please remove it from the check. She acted as if that was out of her pocket.

She just laughed and walked away. that tells me you don't give a shit about your quality if you're pouring your eggs out of a milk carton. All the seasoning on all three of our bagels was burnt. The bagels were cold. I've never in my life gotten a bagel sandwich with a cold bagel. the sausage on my sandwich was a link. Who thought that was acceptable is an idiot. The bacon came from the microwave pack that you get in the refrigerated section of Food Lion. Shocker- it was still cold. And top it all off. the Kraft singles for the cheese was just the crème de la crème. All of these joints have the same thing in common- they buy their supplies from Sysco or US Foods. It amazes me how they can screw this stuff up so horribly! Maybe one day we'll have some quality establishments on the boardwalk that can deliver a product that justifies the prices they charge. Right now, we are getting fucking robbed.
