Always an excellent meal at Sole! We have tried a number of dishes during our annual visit to Myrtle Beach, and every time we are thrilled with the food. Save room for dessert - the Limoncello cake and the chocolate mousse are swoon-worthy! The pace is not hurried, so take your time and savor the food. The chef came out and gave my husband pointers on how to make the pollo ala francese sauce. read more

Great food, loved the fiocchi, gnocchi, and chicken Marsala. Been here a few times. Just a heads up, they do add a 3.99% charge (not sure of any credit card merchant that charges that much for processing credit cards but....) for paying with a credit card so keep that in mind when calculating your tip as the bill can be a bit misleading and you might end up tipping not on the food portion, but also on the added surcharge as well. Food was great and would return just would bring cash next time as 4% is too much for the charge fee and I don't remember that the last time we were here. Nice people! read more

Went the other night with a friend. The wives were back up north. We both ordered the Chicken parmesan with penne. It came with spaghetti. The waiter owner said the cook made a mistake & would make a plate of penne if we didn't want the spaghetti. We didn't want to let our meal get cold so we said the spaghetti was ok. The sauce was ok but at $24.95 would have expected more. Have ordered chicken parm from just about every Italian restaurant in Myrtle & no one charges that much. Also the menus on yelp state it's $19.95 . The owner waiter could be a used car salesman he certainly had a gift to sell! He talked us into a gnocchi appetizer which I will say was delicious. But without a drink ( only water ) the 2 meals a the appetizer $72 was in my opinion a little pricey for chicken parmigiana! read more

Sole Italian Restaurant - Ordered the Chicken Parmigiana - Italian Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

This food was hands down the best Italian food that I have had in a very very very long time! My family goes every time we are in Myrtle, it's been 4 years for me, and it never disappoints. Frank the owner is amazing and so friend and accommodating!!! The cream sauce in his food is to die for! I have never had veal before and I figured why not give it a try! And I am now afraid to order it ever again because I don't think it will ever compare! We were a big party of 8 adults and 3 kids. We had the back room to ourselves and ever got a large paper table covering for the kids to draw on plus a variety of coloring books and full on crayon packets!! If you are in Myrtle and want Italian, you have to stop here!!! Thanks frank for the delicious food and great time! read more

My wife and I had dinner at Sole on Saturday 4/29. The restaurant was semi-full and everyone looked happy. This was our second time and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was the same girl we had the first time and she was on point. We started with the Calamari and it was excellent. We had Veal Piccata and Fiocchi they were five star meals. The piccata was thin pieces of veal covered in a lemons and caper sauce. It was very tasty and served with a side of pasta. The fiocchi is a wonderful pasta filled with pear and parmesan cream. It was rich, but wow absolutely wonderful. The white sauce of the fiocchi was a perfect creamy goodness. Oh yes the house salad was divine. Sole is a fantastic stop when you're in Myrtle Beach. read more

Overall disappointing. At best mediocre. Bruschetta was disappointing. Just some bread with a few tomatoes, olive oil and balsamic. Not much effort here and it tasted that way. Sauce was raw. Not cooked enough for the flavors to come together. No it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Eggplant parm received poor review. The pasta dishes were all given a Meh! Or Not Bad. The only dish that was good was the Pork Osso Bucco. Service was okay. Nothing bad, nothing outstanding. If the food was good I'd have been happy. read more

Authentic Italian food, service is great and the owner is very friendly. My husband and I celebrated our 25th Anniversary at the restaurant and it is a memorable one. The ambiance is cozy. Highly recommend that restaurant. read more

Love this place. Food was excellent. Waiter was attentive and place was charming . I would recommend

Absolutely the best Italian food around! I have been here multiple times and every dish is delightful. Ava is a superb waitress and very prompt. I would recommend this place above all other Italian restaurants in the area. The marscapone cheesecake is a must try! Oh and the owner makes his own limoncello that is smooth and tasty! read more

Sole Italian Restaurant - Mascarpone cheesecake - Italian Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I had very high expectations of this restaurant from the reviews. It was very easy to make reservations last minute and we were seated right away when we arrived. We were greeted by the owners daughter and told the specials. We placed an order for the fiocchi since everyone recommended it and it was very tasty! They had a special for lobster ravioli and the sauce was top notch. We were told that we would get salads so we got the Caesar salad and wow, every piece of lettuce had cheese and dressing on it. The problem came to the bill, we shared one plate so we were charged for spitting the plate which we never told them to spilt the plate nor did they ask us and then we were charged for an extra salad and again they never came to ask us if we would like an extra salad. I don't mind paying but I like to be informed before hand. When we were greeted by the daughter she said she was helping out and didn't know much, so I would have appreciated if she asked us how we wanted everything! Other than this, food was great and would recommend! read more

Sole Italian Restaurant - Fiocchi app, wine and fresh bread - Italian Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We went to Sole when it first opened about ten years ago. It inspired my best friend and I to take our girls to Italy which we did four years ago. Tonight, we were back in Myrtle Beach and it was the only place we would consider going to. It did not disappoint! It's run by the family and they truly love what they do and it shows in the food. The finocci is an absolute must!! My daughter remembered it from 10 years ago and it was the winner at the table tonight. The oso bucco...whether pork or veal was incredible. Both girls got lobster ravioli and the flounder was superb. You have to finish with the house made lemoncello and the lemoncello cake is amazing. Finally, the owners, Mom, Son, and sister make this a true dining experience. Hopefully it won't take 10 years for us to return. If you are in Myrtle Beach it is a place you must visit!! read more

The food here is stupendous, like truly very tasty. Phenomenal. But the negative reviews that complain about the wait time are dead right. It's fine if you're not in any rush and I'll say it again the food is fantastic, but it definitely took 20 min to get served, 20 min to get a bread basket followed by 20 min to get a mixed salad that came with a single cherry tomato and slice of cucumber. The main courses took forever to come out. Really good bread though. If you don't flag them down for the check you'd definitely be looking at another 15-20 minutes until you got another chance so just to be aware of. Loved the linguini vongole and the lasagna was really good too. One of the best tiramisu I've ever had. The cannoli was pretty good. My husband liked it more than I did. Drinkable wines. This place feels like a locals only kind of spot like, a hidden treasure. It's got a nice cozy feel. Would give 4 stars for the slow ass service but whatever. Also the owner seems very introverted. I saw some reviews say he was rude but I don't think that was his intention at all. He's just a quiet guy who runs a very busy restaurant. read more

As an Italian New Yorker it's always a challenge to find quality italian food. Sole was on par with the best New York italian and food we've experienced in Italy. Frankie is an engaged owner and ensured we had a tremendous meal as a family. The best italian food in the Myrtle Beach area and likely in the tri state area. read more

Food was divine! Real Italian execution, and nice and different choices, like Fiocchi (pasta pockets filled with cheese and pear with a white sauce).....wow! Vongole Soup to start. Escargot ( which I do not eat), with an interesting italian sauce, etc. Dishes that when you see them on a menu, you know the chefs are knowledgeable! Very nice and delicious dinner in a cozy ambiance, with very good background music. I highly recommend it. Very similar to the ones we visit in Italy. read more

I've left a review last year but this place is so good it deserves a yearly review with my Myrtle beach trips. I LOVE Sole. The bread is fresh and the owner is so charismatic and greets you like an old friend. If you haven't tried the Fiocchi, get it. It is technically an appetizer but it could easily be a meal. I got the lobster ravioli and was convinced to add the lobster tail on top. It was delicious as was everything else. My mom had a phenomenal wine that only became more phenomenal when it was served with the aerator. Sole is a must when visiting Myrtle beach. read more

Four of us had dinner here and each and every meal was great. The veal cutlet was so tender and delicious. The Shrimp Scampi Diablo had the perfect balance of heat. Great food with service. read more

SO happy Yelp led us here, what a fantastic place! As with far too much of the area, COVID hit this family restaurant hard. We found out this and so much else from the owner, Frankie, and his mother, who are the sweetest, most entertaining souls. Upon walking in, shortly after they opened for the evening, we were seated in the only currently open dining room. This place used to regularly have an hour wait and live jazz, along with three dining rooms packed. After a history lesson and Frankie going over the most popular dishes, we ordered an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms and our entrees, which came with house salads. One member of my party got an orange martini, made with 95% proof homemade alcohol. They said it was delicious, like a dreamsicle. The mushrooms came and were to die for, especially the light sauce on them. Best mushrooms we have ever had by far. The salads were great, very fresh with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette. The warm bread with dipping oil/herbs and parm cheese was a delight. I got the seafood medley, it was pretty good. You have a choice of three sauces, I went with the garlic but I think the spicy sauce would have been a better pair. I tried a member of my party's fiocchi - I can see why it's so popular. I would come back just for that! At the end of the meal, Frankie offered everyone in the restaurant a shot of his homemade limoncello, if you were of age and interested. Very sweet spot, food is worth the price tag, and I HIGHLY recommend stopping by, even if you can only have one meal while in Myrtle Beach! read more

We absolutely love Sole! The family owned and operated atmosphere is always a top notch experience. The food is always perfection. I cannot say enough about what a wonderful dining experience Sole always provides. Don't miss out! read more

We were looking for a place close to where we were staying in Myrtle Beach. We found Soleon Yelp. Read a few reviews decided to try. Best decision to come out this evening. Wonderful atmosphere. Frankie is a great host along with his wife and mother. Frankie recommended out meal choices I took his advice on all. Absolutely one of the best Italian meals I've had in years. If you live in Myrtle Beach and or visiting I recommend Sole's Italian for authentic and delicious food. We will return next time we are in town. Please help this business out during the covid situation going on. We need great places to relax and enjoy great night out. read more

Picked this restaurant based on the reviews. Walked in without a reservation and were seated within minutes. The dining room is intimate and softly illuminated. Our server, Ava, greeted us warmly and offered cocktails and recommendations for starters. Everything on the menu sounded great so we had a difficult time choosing. Went with the Fiocchi off the specials menu. Pillowy pasta purses filled with cheeses and pear; served in a sherry cream sauce with prosciutto and peas. This was a phenomenal beginning to the culinary journey. Ava also recommended the Vitello della Rosa and the Farfalle. One bite into each dish and we were in love! Mid-service we met Patty, Ava's grandmother, who has a knack for making you feel right at home! After entrees we were absolutely stuffed but could not say no to the dessert special that Patty had made; a fresh lemon mascarpone with mango gel to share and a single espresso each. We left with such fond affection for not only the meal but also the family that we could not stop talking about the experience! Day dreaming of the mascarpone dessert, We returned the following night hoping to get another piece. Even though they had already locked the doors for the night they graciously opened the doors, welcomed us with open arms and were prepared to seat us for a full meal!!! We got our dessert to go but spent extra time chatting with the family and also got to meet Frankie, his wife and youngest daughter. We will be returning to Myrtle Beach specifically to visit Sole and enjoy more of the delicious and freshly prepared items on their menu. Ava, Patty, Frankie and family.. thank you all for the hard work, the amazing food that you craft so beautifully, the gracious hospitality and for making us feel like family! read more

Sole Italian Restaurant - Fiocchi starter - Italian Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

This is THE BEST Italian restaurant you will eat at in the area - hands down. I'm putting that on record. My parents and I came in for dinner on a Monday around 6:45pm. We were greeted when we came in and were taken to a table within a minute. There was a party of 6-7 in one of the rooms off to the side, and another table occupied in one of the corners. We pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves. Our server came over shortly after we were seated to tell us about the specials and get our drink order. The owner, Frankie, came over to chat for a bit. He told us if we wanted a dish but a different pasta, or wanted to add chicken, shrimp, etc. to a dish, to let the server know and he'd do that. If they have the ingredients, they'll accommodate. I think that's great! We started with a small Fiocchi appetizer (pasta purses stuffed with 3 cheeses and pear, in a Michelangelo sauce, heavy ream base, green peas and prosciutto) for the table. It's delicious. We get this every time we come here. They also offer a larger portion. The dish is rich. We were also given complimentary bread, an olive oil and pesto mixture, and a bowl of cheese. The bread was fresh and crispy. The pesto and cheese paired well. All entrees came with a side salad with house vinaigrette. The dressing was delicious. The salad greens and toppings were fresh. We ordered: - Shrimp Scampi (jumbo shrimp with EVOO and garlic white wine sauce over linguini). My dad loved it, but it had way too much garlic for him. To be fair, the menu did indeed say there was garlic in the dish. It had cut chunks of garlic throughout. He would order the dish again, but ask for light or no garlic. - Spaghetti Marinara with sausage. My mom loved this. There was quite a bit of sausage and it had a great flavor. The red sauce was good as well. - Linguini Carbonara (onions, prosciutto, egg white creamy sauce) with chicken. This dish was so good. I was afraid it would be too heavy but it wasn't. I asked to add chicken for this dish and they added a ton. It had great seasoning and flavor. The onions were cooked soft and there was lots of pancetta throughout. We ordered two desserts to go, Italian Ricotta Cheesecake and a Chocolate Mousse cake. Both were delicious. My dad said the chocolate mousse was one of the best he's ever had. The service was pretty good. They don't rush you. Some may see that as service being slow but I like not being rushed during dinner. We had time to relax and chat for a while. Our server was attentive and checked on us throughout. The restaurant is on the darker side in terms of lighting. I understand it's to create a certain atmosphere and mood, but it may be too dark for some. Don't let the mini strip mall appearance fool you! This is definitely a hidden gem. This was one of the best meals we had during our vacation. We would not hesitate to return. read more

We have a business in Myrtle and come here often. We've driven by Sole but never stopped until we met someone in another restaurant who raved about Sole. A day later, we are here. OMG. SOOO GOOOOD. The family who owns it is so nice and welcoming. They prepared some food special for us to accommodate a dietary restriction. But the food. The flavor!!! Nothing short of amazing. And the best part, we have so much good leftover to enjoy tomorrow. We tried four things and all of it was just perfect. We will be regulars and will share this with our guests as one of our favorites. read more

It's a shame we can only give this place 5 stars. From the moment we walked in we were treated like old familia! From appetizer to dessert everything tasted incredible. They had to have had their Grandma working in the kitchen. By far the best Italian meal we have had down here in the 12 years we've been here. Can't say enough about this place, other than we can't wait to go back. Era buonissimo!! read more

Amazing authentic Italian dinner! We started with the fiocchi as a special appetizer; little purses of love, as they are referred to. We enjoyed the Chicken Francesce, Veal Vitello dela Rosa, and lobster ravioli. The wine was on point and the cannoli and coffee capped off a wonderful dinner with our daughter. Great service! We checked out reviews before we came and would love to bring this little gem up in the review ranks! Really a great surprise. read more

Sole Italian Restaurant - Barolo wine with a cool cork holder! - Italian Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We were in Myrtle Beach for vacation and went to dinner here on our last night before leaving. An absolutely perfect choice! They really make you feel right at home here. Such good conversation that you feel like family lowkey. You can tell the people here also really love the food and know the menu. Family owned, so you know it's amazing food and recipes passed down through the years. We got the fiocchi as an appetizer and it was so good. Don't even consider getting a small size, get the large. It's that good; every single one of us went "mmmm" immediately after taking a first bite. For my entree, I got the rack of lamb. It's served with Parmesan risotto and some veggies. Cleaned my plate, it was so good. Lamb was cooked perfectly medium like I asked, and it was so flavorful. The risotto was literally perfect too. Other things my table got were the penne alla vodka, spaghetti, traditional lasagna, and veal saltinbocca. Everything was so so good. Standouts for sure were the fiocchi, the lamb, and the veal saltinbocca. My friend who got the saltinbocca literally took a bite and had to pause a minute to reevaluate his entire life because it was so good. Like legit, he stopped eating and just stared for a moment so that tells you everything you need to know. Definitely coming back here every time we're in Myrtle and trying the rest of the menu. Also the portions weren't tiny like some places. Like you'll be full and satisfied. Wish I'd taken more pics too cause everything visually was beautiful too. So fucking good honestly. Don't go anywhere else for Italian, I swear. This is the best for sure! read more

Sole Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I gotta give it up to this Italian spot, it really does the classics well, even better than I can get up in New York. Every dish we had here was superb, so I really don't think you can go wrong with whatever you choose. I think what makes these dishes stand out are really the sauces and the balance of ingredients. My chicken parm wasn't drenched in sauce, or smothered with cheese, or overly crusted, or masked with too much Parmesan cheese, but really was a perfect balance between all of them, with a well-portioned bed of angel-hair pasta below. This was a chicken parm I never wanted to end. The tomato sauce just shines through with each bite. One of my favorites I've had in such a long time, maybe ever. read more

So I've been coming to Myrtle Beach since I was kid. I have decades long experience with the usual fair (Calabash, pizza, etc). This year I wanted something different. I have been watching Stanley Tucci's CNN specials "Searching Italy" so of course I was looking for a good Italian restaurant. Ran across Sole on trip advisor and told my wife, "We are going". So when we get there, they were just opening so we were the first customers. The actual restaurant had an unassuming look and could easily be overlooked amongst the colors and congestion of Kings Blvd. The interior gave you the immediate feel of a traditional Italian Restaurant. Crisp white table cloths, crystal wine glasses and a welcoming atmosphere. Ok...enough about that. HOW WAS THE FOOD DUDE? Ok I hear you. Let's start with the bread...AMAZING! You can always tell the quality of an Italian restaurant by the bread, and the olive oil. The bread was crusty and hard on the outside and soft and airy on the inside. Served with EVOO, pesto and parm was a perfect combination. I ordered the seafood medley (Shrimp, Clams, Mussels, huge Scallops and Flounder) served with a white wine garlic sauce and linguine. My wife had the Lobster pasta. Both were divine! We know when we are eating good because there is NO discussion...just eating! So the food gets a 9.5/10, environment and building 8/10, amazing house wine 9/10. But that's not all...this spot is family owed and ran. We met the GM whose name is "Frankie Feathers" used to be "Frankie Knuckles" but he had kids and changed it. Super awesome guy! He shared with us his story and it was amazing. Ok the best highlights. You have to get the Fiocchi! It's small pasta purses stuffed with three cheeses and pear. Look...Frankie said "If you can eat this and not make the 'Mmm' sound you can have it for free" we ended up paying for ours! Lastly, Frankie served up his homemade Limoncello liquor (Not on the menu). It came in what's best called communion cups. My wife is not a drinker and I guess she didn't catch the part when he said, "It's 90+proof" she took the cup and threw it up...swallowed it straight down. ...that had to be the funniest thing I have ever seen. She almost killed herself and I bought a whole bottle of the stuff! Listen, this spot is amazing and I'm giving it my highest recommendation! read more

Our second time visiting everything was excellent! We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Ava was both hostess and server and was efficient and polite answering our questions about menu items and making recommendations. We an amazing appetizer Firocchi..so unique and delicious. Salads...homemade dressing! I had a flounder and crabmeat over risotto. I added a side of broccoli. How do you make broccoli phenomenal? We were not told the secret, but I promise...It was delicious. My husband had Veal and my daughter had Penne a la Vodka with Chicken. Everyone was very pleased. We finished with homemade limoncello and chocolate mousse. We were also served by Gloria who shared a bit of history about the restaurant and family, which added to our experience. The ambiance was quiet and pleasant. read more

This Italian venue was a great find. It is a small dining area, but not cramped. The Farfalla Ala Sole' was outstanding. My husband had the veal Marsala, which he could cut with a fork.

Will definitely go back. read more
