Because only one other person was there, we were able to easily get a place to park. I can imagine this being a very popular place to come and watch the sun disappear, particularly when the weather is warmer and you can enjoy the moment instead of try to stay warm. There's a gazebo where you can sit. There's also a small pier but I wasn't sure if that was part of the park or private property so we didn't investigate.

While not positioned as organic, the food reflects authentic Italian execution.

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

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.

During our stroll, we stopped at the Kite Loft to buy a hot air balloon and picked up a large bucket of fries from Thrashers (more details regarding the Kite Loft and Thrashers to come).

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!

First time here - and in OCMD - visiting from New Jersey…read more This place is right next to where we stayed so coming here was a no brainer. Simple on the outside and very big and nice inside - we sat on the outdoor area, improvised but nicely set up. Staff was all pretty polite and welcoming, and even though some had a language barrier, they still all tried to help and be of service. We ordered sodas and 2 glasses of white wine, but the wine wasn't too cold which made us have to order a glass with ice to try to improvise. For food we ordered the burrata, salmon prosecco, lamb chops rosemary and chicken parm, sides have to be ordered separate so we ordered penne pasta and truffle fries - the last one very good and big portion. Food overall was pretty good and well seasoned, lamb and salmon probably the best, the sauce was good, chicken was a little more bland and the pasta was pretty "simple". Our check ended up at $300 making this the most expensive check of our trip - honestly, for the price I would expect a little more. Overall good but not great, was expecting a little more. Still a pretty good spot to go to.

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..
