The bread service was probably the highlight of the meal, and it came out warm and memorable enough to stand out right away. We started with the fried squash blossoms special, and those were excellent -- easily the best dish of the night. For entrées, we had the Eggplant Rollatini and Chicken Parmesan, and both were very good, but also pretty much what you'd expect from those dishes. Nothing was bad at all, but nothing really felt especially unique either. Our waitress was a bit stuffy and not particularly friendly, which took away from the experience some. Still, the food was solid overall, and if you're looking for a traditional Italian meal in a classic setting, Lombardo's delivers a dependable option.

The 8-ounce steak was one of the toughest steaks she has ever had--dry, with no juice or flavor. Since it was listed at market price, we were shocked when the bill came and they charged $80 for what was easily the worst steak and lobster meal we've ever had. I ordered the trio of chicken parmesan, veal parmesan, and fried manicotti. It came with a portion of pene pasta with red sauce,   To make matters worse, the tomato sauce was awful. For a restaurant that claims to serve authentic Italian food, the sauce was bland and tasted worse than store-bought Ragu. Good Italian food starts with a good sauce, and this was a major disappointment.   The best word I can use to describe it is disgusting. I've honestly had much better Italian food at Olive Garden and for half the price.  To make matters worse, when the check arrived, they handed me a payment pad for the tip. I left a 20% tip, only to discover later that the suggested tip was calculated on the total bill including taxes and the credit card fee, not just the cost of the meal. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had in Myrtle Beach. I will never step foot in this restaurant again, and I would strongly recommend that anyone looking for good Italian food spend their money elsewhere. Do yourself a big favor and dine in one off the many really good italian restaurants in the Myrtle Beach area.

Hi Everyone, If you…read morelive to eat as many my of my Italian friends do, Villa Romano's succulent fare, will put that curl in your hair. This restaurant was a surprise from our oh so friendly, engaging, interesting and very accomplished Accordion Virtuoso, Mike. To our very enthusiastic, lovely, patient, Server Berkley. To our food which was divine. To the "Old World" Italian environment, kinda like Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, without the human statues that move ever so slightly, but just enough to to make you feel, something is a miss, but what??? Man, that drove me crazy. Also, you want to go here to dine because their competing Restaurants in the area feel having you wait in very long, well over an hour and a half lines, just to get in satisfies their need not to take any reservations. Hun...? Yep, they're fine having Aunt Susie's makeup looking like Mark Shostrom, the Master Makeup Artist from the horror series "A Nightmare on Elm Street" movies, put it on for her. We all know also, because while we tried our best not looking at how Aunt Susie's makeup was contorting her face, it was like trying not to look at a car wreck. I even laid 7-5 odds that her false eyelashes would become a moustache, and won, while we all did exactly that to satisfy my beautatious date's Cousins' from Reno, fish wish, in Myrtle Beach. We stood in the lines outside, in the evening heat, at three different restaurants that we tried. Please remember to bring water, you'll feel better while you wait, wait, wait again, and then really wait, as if Mosses is going to appear from on high with the Ten Commandments. Instead it's, "Your table is ready" as you try to wake Grandma from her heat induced coma. While Villa Romano's bait, is to actually take your reservation and instead, have you relax on your tushy while having a cocktail in their comfortably A/C filled delightful ambience while you relive your day's perspective with friends and Family ("No, you missed it. First he...", ya know), while Mike fills the air with his sweet mellifluous musical notes floating by you for your audio pleasure, much like the feather in Forrest Gump. Their appetisers looked awesome however, this is an "Old World" Italian restaurant that offered their minestrone soup, and their Caesar salad which came with our meals, was very tasty, and paired very well with the bottle of wine from their varied, and well selected wine list, which we all shared. First, I read some of Villa Romania's great reviews on Yelp, before making a reservation, most especially, because I did not want anyone to have to repeat "THE LONG Lines" at our Fried Fish Palace, lol experience from two nights earlier. All of our entrees pictured below, were savoy, aroma enticing, tastebud thrilling, flavor forward, and exceeded all our sensory expectations which helped us all unwind while really enjoying our evening out together as it unexpectedly, evolved into an event for us all. While all their deserts sounded wonderful we were all completely full. But on our next visit, tiramisu, ice cream, and cannolis for all. So it's expensive, right? That is a great question Poindexter, but wrongo, my parsimonious friend. It was again, surprisingly affordable, and "I shall return" as General Douglas MacArthur once said. Why? Because sometimes you just can't find what will work for everyone, and that feels and tastes, just right. That's it! That is Villa Romana Restaurant, and we all were so gleeful and happy we discovered that fact in our visit to Myrtle Beach, SC. Manga... Enjoy!

As a local resident, I explained to my guests that this was a local gem that was must-visit place when in Myrtle Beach. We dined on Chicken Daniella, Linguini Carbonara, and Eggplant Rollatini. Each dinner was well presented and delicious. Equally as impressive as the high quality food was the outstanding service provided by our server, Jade. Jade continuously kept her eye on our table and was very attentive: bringing us more bread, refilling our water, and checking to see if there was anything we needed. Jade possessed a friendly demeanor, was highly professional, and made the dining experience a true pleasure. I highly recommend Capriccio's as a must-visit restaurant, with a shout out to Jade, a most competent and attentive server. Capriccio's is most fortunate to have such a quality server as Jade, who highlights the restaurant's commitment to excellence.

We waited and I gave him half of my dinner because it had been so long. Told the server just cancel the order. Ask for the bill which yes did just have my items but the tip was based on the total with my husbands entree. When you as an owner decide to do auto tips you are not taking in to consideration that the server knows they are getting tipped whether they give service or not. In our case the server was very good and nice . I still like to have the choice of what I will tip.

My boyfriend and I walked into Flamingo Grill hoping to have dinner and left almost immediately…read morebecause of the way we were treated. We were dressed casually in shorts, T-shirts, and sandals--which, considering this is Myrtle Beach and the restaurant is only a couple miles from the beach, didn't seem remotely inappropriate. The atmosphere itself is casual, with motorcycles and a Fonzie cutout, so we certainly weren't walking into what appeared to be a five-star fine-dining restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we were basically ignored. When my boyfriend finally asked about seating, the woman who appeared to be the manager responded, "For tonight?" in a tone and with an expression that made us feel like we had asked a ridiculous question. The host then proceeded to cut her eyes at us. The entire interaction felt unnecessarily judgmental and condescending. I'm a bar manager myself, so I understand the service industry very well. If there was no availability, a simple, "Unfortunately, we're fully booked tonight," would have been completely understandable. What I don't understand is making potential customers feel unwelcome or beneath your establishment based on how they happen to be dressed. And that's the thing about working in hospitality: you never know who is walking through your door. We were fully prepared to spend good money on dinner, drinks, and leave a generous tip. Instead, after seeing how we were being treated, I grabbed my boyfriend's hand and said, "No, we aren't spending our money here," and we left. You can have great food, but hospitality starts before the first drink or plate ever reaches the table. Making guests feel judged the second they walk through the door is a great way to make sure they spend their money somewhere else. On that note, we to Fiesta Mexicana next door and they had exceptional customer service, great food, and a very welcoming vibe! I highly recommend.
