'hors d'oeuvres for now it's implied?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'nothing to follow' is the wordplay.
'nothing' becomes 'antipas' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'follow' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'antipas'+'to'='ANTIPASTO'

'there's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for antipasto that I've seen before include "Italian dish" , "Appetizer course in an Italian meal" , "hors-d'oeuvre" , "course of hors d'oeuvres" , "Italian hors d'oeuvre" .)
