Town hall with Touch of Italy, Jan. 16

Friday, January 10, 2025

(Jan. 10, 2025) Ocean Pines Association will host a town hall on Thursday, Jan. 16, at noon in the Community Center to introduce Touch of Italy, the company recently hired to manage the Association’s food and beverage operations.

During the town hall, Touch of Italy representatives will answer questions from homeowners and share their vision for the Yacht Club, Clubhouse Grille, and Beach Club.

Earlier this week, the OPA Board of Directors approved a five-year lease agreement with the Touch of Italy Group. Celebrated for its Italian cuisine and hospitality, the company has committed to enhancing the menus at all three venues with fresh seafood and American fare, while preserving popular traditions such as free summer concerts on the Yacht Club patio.

Touch of Italy, founded in 2010, operates three namesake restaurants and oversees food and beverage services at the Royal Prime Steakhouse and Bally’s banquet and conference facilities in Dover, Delaware. The group also manages the Sunset Island Bar and Grille in Ocean City and runs its own commissary kitchen and bakery to ensure the highest quality ingredients.

Rick Lawrence, who oversees financial operations for Touch of Italy, said the company looks forward to becoming an integral part of the Ocean Pines community.

“This is an exciting opportunity for us to raise the bar in Ocean Pines,” Lawrence said.

Homeowners are encouraged to attend the Jan. 16 town hall to learn more and participate in the discussion.
