Hawaiian Pizza
Brad C.

There is no shortage of pizza places around the beach so trying to decide which to eat at and where to avoid can be a challenge. Papa's is unassuming in a strip mall, but don't let that keep you away. It's a good find. The crust is thinner like New York style with good chewiness. We've had a number of their pizzas including white pizza and specialty ones. So far, never disappointed. I like their prices compared to others too. The 10" are plenty big for one person and the 12" are good for one person who likes a few slices left over. People are always very friendly and service is good. They've always been pretty quick, even when busy. Recommend!

The Greek Pizza

If you like thin crust pizza you will love this place! Their crust is very thin and crunchy. Just because the crust is thin they load on the toppings! It's great to find a place that actually sells a large pizza that it large indeed. Papas was one of my favorite pizza places in the area last time I lived here and glad to see it remains just as good years later. My first week in my new house I ordered from here twice! Subs and salsa the first time and pizza the second. For years now I have been in search of a meatball sub that was just as good or better than one I had in Billings Montana (of all places to find a good meatball sub, lol) but I have at Papa's and it's very exciting to have the meatball sub that rivals the one from Billings five minutes from my house. The pasta dishes looked amazing both times I was in to pick up my food so I plan to try their pasta if I can bring myself to move beyond the pizza and meatball sub.

Just a real quick stop in to my fave pizza shop in Calabash. It's definitely not "New York Pizza" (haha- it's the water!) But I'm a New Yorker. So I'm "pizza picky." This place makes a decent pizza. Molly was super-efficient. Been coming to this place for over a year. It's always satisfying. I'll be back!!!

Food

Ordered 12" half cheese, half pep pizza and a side salad last night. Way overpriced. $25.64. The salad was 6.25 for a handful of lettuce, a few shredded carrots and cheese. See the pic for the food. This used to be a place we liked going. No more, average food, premium prices.

Eggplant Parmesan Sandwiche
Fabulous C.

Sure wish you knew when you order to go if the good chef or the bad chef is on because they are so inconsistent. I also am once again reminded that to get this sandwich should only be in restaurant (in case this happens they can adjust) Once again, dry as can be. Where's the sauce n cheese? Should've ordered extra on the side like last time (except it didn't need it then) but it did the time before! By the time you get home it's too late you're screwed! When they're good they are great when they suck well, you get a meal like this. Like I said, inconsistent! Too bad! I usually enjoy their food but again, I think you have to eat it there. At least this item.

Where's the beef?

We originally planned to try another highly rated Italian restaurant in the area, but after reading…read moremore detailed reviews, it seemed overpriced with inconsistent quality and smaller portions--more suited for a date night than a family meal where value matters. Based on my brother-in-law's recommendation, we decided to try this place instead, and I'm glad we did. From the start, the experience stood out. The food quality was excellent, and the portions were surprisingly generous--something you don't often find at Italian restaurants. They also offer complimentary bread with a choice of soup or salad, which is becoming increasingly rare. Even more impressive, these weren't afterthoughts. The bread was perfectly crusty and served with a flavorful olive oil infused with tomato and garlic. Both the salad and chicken soup were fresh and well-prepared. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. I had the chicken Sorrento with prosciutto and mushrooms over pasta, and it was outstanding--well-balanced, flavorful, and cooked just right. The restaurant itself is clean and nicely designed, creating a comfortable atmosphere without feeling overly formal. Service was quick, and our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout. I don't often give five-star reviews, but this place truly earned it. It delivers on both quality and value, which is a combination that's hard to find.

Location is on busy Highway 17 N. Parking is adequate for the restaurant of this size. When inside,…read morethe restaurant is darkly lit, with candle light. Numerous tables and booths available for seating, as well as the bar. And outside dining is also an option. Prices & portions seem reasonable. This place appears to get quite busy and also looks to have many regulars. Family-owned- European and Northern Italian influence. We came on a Saturday night, shorty before close, so we were able to get two seats at the bar. Our bartender was extremely attentive throughout our visit. Complementary bread is provided. Comes with a nice oil and garlic blend. Ordered the Bucatini Puttanesca & Spaghetti with Italian Sausage. These come with a dinner salad or up grade to a Caesar for $2 more (which I did). Both salads were fresh and delicious. I will say one of the best caesar dressings I've had. The pasta, presentation was lovely. The flavors bland, tomato sauce (tastes straight from the can) had no additional spices present and the pasta way over cooked. Seems their noodles are pre-cooked and Al Dente then is just not possible. This is another reason why the rating was just below average. Really disappointing. Would not be a place we would revisit.

It smelled delicious when we walked in, and we were not disappointed. Our server promptly brought menus and water, and took drink orders. They have wines by the bottle & glass listed on their menu but they also have a full bar. We were told about the specials, served our drinks & their amazingly delicious included bread. We started with the clams casino, because I've always wanted to try them. They were delicious! 9 little clams stuffed with a crunchy sort of breading, with spinach in a fabulous lemon cream sauce. We had to drag the bread thru the sauce after the clams were gone! Each entree comes with the choice of garden or Caesar salad. And it's a good size salad too! Very fresh, and wonderful to have included. Then the entrees arrived, and we were all shocked at the size of the meals! I think every one of the 7 of us had leftovers, and everything was greatly enjoyed. My pasta frutti di mare was full of clams, mussels, shrimp and scallops, with a nice piece of fresh fish on top. I asked for a marinara sauce (you can choose marinara, Alfredo, garlic & olive oil, and I think the 4th is maybe a lemon white wine?) In any case, it was so good!! It came on a bed of perfectly cooked pasta. (Actually everything comes over pasta.) My husband loved his special fish of the day...fresh grilled mahi mahi, with asparagus & tomatoes over pasta. Other entries tried were the shrimp & scallop carbonara, shrimp & scallop in lemon champagne sauce, and chicken & sausage with pasta. If I lived anywhere near here, I'd definitely be back!

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly, attentive, and professional. The food was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, beautifully prepared, and served with generous portions. You can tell there is real pride and care behind everything that comes out of the kitchen. Every part of our meal was fantastic, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. If you're in Myrtle Beach and looking for a restaurant that delivers great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere, Umberto's is definitely worth a visit. It's the kind of place you'll want to return to again and again. Five stars without hesitation! We can't wait to come back! Donna & Jim

They have outdoor seating, indoor, and a bar area. Highly recommend reservations. Fresh bread with yummy whipped butter comes to the table quickly. Very fresh. They also provide beans, cucumber/tomato salad, and pasta (if don't order pasta dish) for the table. It is family style. The salad is fresh and the beans - welp, delicious!!! It's a lot of food so be careful when ordering and keep this stuff in mind, We order shrimp scampi, a seafood pasta dish, and the pork chops. The scampi was great with large shrimp and a generous portion of them to boot. Seafood pasta was good too, let me tell you the shining star at this Italian restaurant- yep, you will read this sentence twice - the pork chops!!!! Like unbelievable. Massive and tasty. Perfect char on outside and super tender on the inside. When you see the size of these you will feel like a caveman! Absolutely delicious. You will need a box!!!! Service was terrific. Bidders constantly cleaning dishes and bringing you fresh dishes for the different dishes served family style. Our server never had our glasses empty. She was as awesome. Shoutout to Melissa.
