Greek salad
Shy E.

Rating: 2.8 Trying local eats, fried calamari was made really well amd was fresh. Other dishes were just ok. Service could be improved. Greek salad was fresh and the dressing was good. Menu needs updating. I requested the Riesling on the menu and learned that it isn't available. The server didn't know that and the bartender came and told me. One diner didn't receive the right meal amd was told they "couldn't" give her a different meal in it's place. Not authentic Italian and the Arancini, while cooked well, was very bland and lacking flavor. Would I recommend it - I'd say pass on this place.

Little Italy in Myrtle Beach was absolutely phenomenal! The restaurant is cozy and intimate, with a peaceful atmosphere and beautifully blacked-out windows that give you a sense of privacy while you enjoy your meal. The ambience was wonderful, the service was truly top-notch, and the food was absolutely amazing--I loved it so much that I went two days in a row!

Watermelon Sour Patch Drink
Jacqueline L.

Went here for the 1st time on Thursday August 20th 2026 with my parents. Decided to come here for a late birthday and my parents anniversary dinner. My mom also made a reservation. First a little bit about this restaurant. This restaurant is located in a small strip mall, and honestly if not careful, one can miss it. has parking. The menu has a little bit of everything from Chicken to veal to some fish options, as well as pizza. They do have Happy Hour as well. Inside is quaint and small, and they also have a small bar as well. Anyways, we arrived at the restaurant, and the hostess greeted us with a smile and sat us at a booth. Our server was very pleasant and made sure to check on us. We all started with 3 waters. I ordered a drink that sounded and was indeed delicious especially if one likes the candy, and it was called the Watermelon Sour Patch drink! My dad had a modelo, and we started with the fried calamari appetizer and fried mozzarella. Calmari hit the spot, as well as the mozzarella sticks, and they were crispy. Took a while to decide what i wanted as the entree, but then ordered the Mussels and Clams with no asparagus. Had the soup of the day with it which was Chicken Noodle. For $1, one can add soup of the day or house salad with their meal. Cup of Chicken noodle soup was small, and didn't care for it that much, but then again, usually out I order Pasta fagoli or another type of soup like butternut squash. Salad portion was also kind of small. Finally the food came out. enjoyed my mussels and clams, especially enjoyed the small portion because I was able to eat the pasta and all. Only thing is there was only mushrooms in there, and I was okay with the spinach that came with it. Maybe the asparagus and spinach came in some sort of mix, so that's why I didn't get the spinach, but was definitely missing the spinach! However, food was very enjoyable. My mom ordered chicken franchese, and my dad ordered the chicken sortino, which they both said was enjoyable. Total was 162.02, and we paid with credit card, and left a cash tip. Overall enjoyed this quaint little restaurant. May be back!

The food and the service were amazing!! We popped in around 9:30 pm and hoped the kitchen was still open since the close at 10 pm. Felt a little bad coming in late, but they happily accommodated us. There were still a couple other parties dining so we quickly ordered so as not to hold up their closing time. We were so focused on dining quickly that we forgot to take pics of our food! The complimentary bread was hot and fresh plus the herbed olive oil was delicious!! Mozzarella sticks were great as well. We ordered the chicken parmesan with a side of fettuccine alfredo and both were sooo good! The chicken came with 2 large pieces of chicken, plenty to share! The alfredo sauce was tasty, lighter than most. Really enjoyed this meal and would love to dine here again.

1/26- I've raved abt this place in the past EXCEPT this time. Happy hr is (4-7p) bar area only. All the bar stools were taken so we grabbed an available high top. Server rushed over to tell us "high top seating are NOT included in HH. Our options are stand, wait for a seat @ bar or eat in dinning room." Huh? There's 4 of us. It's Friday night. We plan on eating, drinking, having a good time. Are you kidding me? It's not like the HH discounts a huge, we're talking a fee bucks. But it's the principle. ~ We grabbed a table in "the dinning" area, ate and left. It's too bad, you just lost returning patrons.

Family dinner at Little Italy!
Donna S.

We ordered a pizza one of the specials on the menu. We had meatballs and bread for appetizers. The food was delicious. The olive oil on the crust of the pizza just set it off. The atmosphere was very nice too. The outside of the building was deceiving as it seemed like just another restaurant in a plaza. The inside was quiet, a nice surprise.

When God has a plan and you keep ignoring it, he gets you to listen. We walked past this spot 3-4x & i can honestly say i tossed some shade because it says NY style pizza. We decided to go elsewhere for dinner and the place was closed so we walked here. We are so happy that we actually did. Marco was great and walked us through the menu. The food was really good as i got the chicken parm & the bride got herself a calzone w spinach. The servings were not for the faint of heart. Food was really good and the ambiance was awesome. Me personally was not a fan of how thick the sauce was on the chicken parm. Not overcrowded and loud but very homely. We will be going back next year when we return!

Rainbow cake
Sara K.

Pictured: bruschetta without the roasted red peppers, kids sized cheese ravioli (4) with no sauce, lobster ravioli in sherry wine sauce (comes with 6 ravioli) , rainbow cake. Food was really good, it came out fast, with a basket of bread and a side of dipping oil. Service was okay for the amount of things we didn't need, the place just opened and it could've been cleaner than it was.

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!

It was not crowded when we arrived. We were seated immediately and our server, Makayla came right…read moreover. She explained the menu and brought us water and warm bread. It was peaceful with soft music playing and water fountains throughout. My son ordered the Rigatoni and I had the zucchini appetizer. The food was amazing. Upon leaving, we noticed we were the youngest people in the restaurant aside from the waitstaff. Obviously, the locals love this place. We just stumbled upon it.

We started out by asking if we can order a pie to go! As we just got done e golfing in 95 degree…read moreweather all afternoon! So they graciously sat us down and gave us a menu , so we decided to have a cold beer while waiting! And our waitress Amanda gave us our cold Blue Moons with ice cold mugs and an orange slice! We felt so comfortable we decided to stay and eat there! We order our pie and a small salad ! I mentioned we were from the Trenton NJ area as we are probably Pizza Snobs as our expectations are very high from our home town where Tomato pie was born! I have to tell you our expectations were so met and the pie was perfect! The crust and the under carriage was perfectly just the right crunch and taste! We Told Amanda to please tell the chef how much we enjoyed it! I Usally don't eat all the crust but we all did for this pie! I also told Amanda I will be back with my girlfriend in September and will visit again! Great job and the service was impeccable a with a gracious smile and positive attitude and enthusiasm! Thank you again Nick Pagodin from Bordentown NJ

First and foremost, eat here for the complimentary garlic bread! The Man thought it was the best…read moregarlic bread he's ever had and wanted me to make sure to mention it. Thought I'd lead with that tip. Ramando's reminds me of the place my grandparents used to go to when they came to MB every year for their annual vacation. The decor is old-school, and could stand an update. The food is quality products, and could stand an update. Even the music playing is solid (who doesn't love 90 minutes of the Rat Pack?), and could use an update. All that said, other than updates, I have no notes. Arriving, the outside looks, well, like it needs an update, if not just some regular maintenance. Outside there were vine engulfed European garden statues. Overgrown plants. Walking through the front door felt like walking into the late 70s or early 80s. Giant ship's wheel light fixtures. Multilayer and multicolor table cloths under a plexiglass topper. Complete with what looks to be throwback paper placements with all the classic cocktails listed out. And... appropriately lit, clean, open, inviting and smelling lovely. We were curious. It wasn't busy, but it was also already close to 8 pm. Granted it was a Saturday night, and shoulder season in this family beach resort town, so we didn't judge. I can't help but wonder if a few updates to the food and decor might not help though. After we were seated our server greeted us promptly. Magdalena (sp?) was lovely. Big smile. Warm greeting. Drinks and water arrived in good time. My Cosmo was made with Rose's lime juice. Not my favorite, but I also know that if a bar isn't doing enough business it's difficult to keep fresh juices on hand without waste. Even with the Rose's, it was well-made, my well-balanced and tasty. The Man's Manhattan was good. Solid, was the word he used. He had wine with supper. I would have had a rosé, but there wasn't one by the glass. For dinner I ordered the Chicken Ramando's with gluten free pasta. Everything was well seasoned and prepared, although the pasta was a little over. Not a big deal in my book. I'd rather that than under. This is where I think a little update could help. Chicken Ramando's is billed as pan sautéed chicken with fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots and feta cheese over pasta. I was thinking it would have a nice, light lemon and wine sauce, almost like a scampi or maybe finished with a little butter for richness. Keep it light and fresh, but still luscious. The chicken was cooked perfectly. (They prepared mine without what would apparently be the usual flour and breading.) it was laid over the pasta and then smothered in a cream sauce and the feta. The veggies were super sautéed (maybe prepped earlier and recooked to heat resulting is super duper sautéed?) and laid alongside either side (think rows, like a Cobb salad). I don't want to say the veggies were hammered, because they were still moist and juicy, but I almost forgot there were supposed to be carrots in there until I realized one of the shapes didn't match the others. And don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad. It was okay. I gave it 4 stars because it's being exactly what it's always been and killing at that. It was, just unexpected. Unexpected because it's a beach resort area. It's a lot of families with kids. While grandma with her walker is also here and wanting to relive happy memories, there is room to cater to both. Maybe have two versions: traditional and modern? I get wanting to hold onto the traditional recipes too. I've watched way too much Gordon Ramsey that I can hear chefs in my sleep shouting how everyone loves the food! But let's be clear, a lot of the time they're being polite because they don't want to get into an uncomfortable conversation. If I were cooking this dish at home, my modern take, if you will.... I'd have the bed of pasta (it would also be killer over an orzo or rice pilaf), as they did, but I'd lay the sautéed chicken breast over it and then top it with a skilleted mix of freshly sautéed to al dente veggies with garlic, (chile pepper flakes, if you're so inclined), lemon juice, white wine and finish with butter. I'd pour that over the whole shebang pasta and sprinkle some feta over it along with some parsley for garnish. Maybe some finishing olive oil. Done. Same dish, but lighter and super flavorful where I could identify each veggie and taste them as well. With just a couple tweaks here and there, Ramando's could have a renaissance. I hope they're able to find their way there. The area needs them and their cuisine.

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.
