While not positioned as organic, the food reflects authentic Italian execution. The pizza stands out: a light, well-fermented airy crust, balanced and refined sauce, and thoughtfully curated toppings. The menu offers elevated, gourmet combinations without being overworked. 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.

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!

Pomodoro Pizza is the most exclusive pizza of Bethany Beach with limited quantities prepared and yes... it is easily the best too!! With a focus on the order at hand, everything is authentically done, thoughtfully crafted, and well prepared. Simple and satsifying! We called in at eleven for a 6:00 pickup and were already the fifth order. They only take a single order per fifteen minute window, so it can be multiple hour long waits during the dinner window! We ordered a cheese, a pepperoni, a white with roasted peppers, and a pomodoro special (pepperoni, sausage, bacon, green peppers, mushroom, and onion). A true New York style pizza. The slices are huge. The toppings are thin. A folded bite is essential! The interior is just a small pickup counter, a cooler of soda bottles/cans, and a refrigerator of some off-menu salads and cannolis. The owners are so wonderful and will greet you warmly as you enter, but they do deal with a lot of complainers that are disappointed that they didn't plan in advance for their dinner pickup.

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..
