OK, correct me if I am wrong, doesn't antipasto mean "without pasta?"

No, it means before a meal.

Hmmm ... I always knew it as a pasta free dish because the main course was
usually a pasta dish.

Antipasto /should/ mean "without"; antepasto /should/ mean "before".

But hey.

The prefix "ante" meanse before (antedeluvian, before the flood;
antebellum, before the war). The prefix "anti* doesn't. I'm not
talking about the food, just the language; the food name means whatever
most people understand (or misunderstand) it to mean.

No, it means "before meal" since "pasto" means meal. the fact that
antipasti (plural of antipasto9 are the first edible item in a menu is
not a coincidence.

The "traditional" sequence of an Italian meal. Quite frequently a holiday
meal:

Antipasto - Appetizer (if serving more than one dish, antipasti)
Primo Piatto - First course (almost always a pasta or rice dish)
Minestra - Soup
Secondo Piatto - Main course (served with contorni, side dishes)
Dolci - Desserts
Liquori - Aperitifs

The above was gathered from www.steve-slater.com.

Coming from a large Italian-American family, I believe that the above is a
fairly accurate sequence for a large meal such as Easter or Thanksgiving.
My grandparents were all immigrants. As a matter-of-fact, my maternal
grandfather's first name was Dominico, but everyone called him Tony, because
when he got on the boat to Ellis Island, they stamped TONY on his forehead
(To NY)! ;-)

Oh, come on. That would apply if they were talking about an English
word. "Antipasto" is an Italian word. -aem

No, pasta is almost always a first course. In Italy we do not have a "main"
dish, all dishes are equal. It is not a meat centered meal plan.

Your spelling and Italian spelling are at variance. It's hard to leap from
English spelling to Italian words. But if you think how they are
pronounced, you can see that it would be hard to say ante-something, not
that it doesn't exist as in anteriore. All your ante words are anti in my
experience to date.

No one would require that. Take a trip to a countryside Italian area for a
couple of weeks and just listen. That'll do it.
