We stopped by Toscana with our two little girls, and we were dressed very casually. I honestly felt a little underdressed when we walked in, but the owner immediately welcomed us in and was so warm and friendly. We felt comfortable right away. We kept it simple with a pizza, salad, and wine, and everything was really good. What made the experience extra special was how kind and thoughtful the owner was. After dinner, she surprised my girls with a little treat, and they absolutely loved it. Such a warm, welcoming experience. 10/10 -- we'll definitely be back!

It's the cutest little Italian restaurant close to the beach. I appreciated the decor and how they tried to make you feel like it was Italy. The service was great! The owner/chef was so sweet and took so much pride in providing delicious food and great service. The start by giving you bread with oil. However, the put a twist on the oil and it has tomatoes and seasoning. Very delicious, I could eat it all day long. We ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer. Very delicious and presentation was beautiful! Probably one of the best bruschetta's I've eaten. For the main course we ordered the ravioli and lasagna. You can definitely tell it was authentic and made with love! Everyone was so sweet and they surprised us with a dessert! The lava cake was so soft and the perfect balance of sweet. The ice cream tasted like vanilla bean with a little caramel drizzle. Perfection!!! Love love love! I highly recommend!

The restaurant is cute. It has a long bar with a nice size restaurant with white tablecloth and table lamps, giving it a nice atmosphere. I had a sugar cookie martini with pasta and it was amazing. The service was super. Mama came out of the kitchen to check that everything was great. And it was.

Caesar salad

We had a wonderful meal at this Italian spot. Found it online and saw some great reviews. I was able to jump online and make reservations through Open Table. When we arrived the restaurant was crowded but our table was ready! It had low bluish lighting for a more intimate feel. There is a small bar area and then a group of tables in another part of the restaurant. I'd say it's on the small side but could fit a good number of tables. Service was excellent, our waiter and other staff were very attentive and friendly. I had to ask for a kids menu but they offered fettuccine Alfredo, chicken tenders, etc. We ordered the chicken piccata, Marsala, and two chicken Alfredo pasta. The adult meals came with a salad and we upgrade to Caesar. The salads were a great starter size - not too large and a traditional Caesar dressing. When food arrive the portions were great and everything looked and smelled amazing. A great family friendly restaurant with a large Italian menu, would recommend.

Chicken Parmigiana
David D.

The most tender chicken parmigiana you'll ever eat! Great food with good portions! The atmosphere sets itself apart from most Italian eateries in the area. From decor to music to lighting, a great place for any occasion!

Lasagna and seafood  Was excellent

We were super lucky to find this gem of a restaurant in Myrtle Beach! My husband and I arrived in town after 8:30 on a Sunday night. Not much was open and we were hungry; so we started walking in the direction of bright lights on King's Highway. The first 2 places we passed were already closed; and then we came across Toscana Italian Kitchen. It was a cute Italian restaurant with a cozy bar and dining room decorated with murals and greenery. We had a super friendly server, (I wish I could remember her name,) who quickly approached us and took our drink orders. I ordered the chicken picatta, ($24.95,) which was absolutely fabulous! The chicken was pounded thin and flavorful with lemon slices and capers. It was served over pasta and I totally loved the whole meal....,plus it was a big enough portion that I could take home half for lunch the next day! My husband had the shrimp risotto, ($29.95.). He said the shrimp were delicious and he really liked his meal. He had left overs too. Plus both meals came with a side salad that was scrumptious! We were really lucky that we found Toscana Italian Kitchen. It is worth a visit if you're in Myrtle Beach. There are so many Italian restaurants around, but this one is something special!

This is the one of only two things in Myrtle Beach I would come back for! OK to be fair, it wasn't that bad. I'm just not a beach person and I certainly don't like the heat so when I was talked into going for a quick girls trip in July I wasn't thinking straight. When we pulled into the parking lot, our first thought was that this could not possibly be the place everyone was raving about. Stepped through the doors and the ambience hits immediately. This is a nice place! It was packed and we didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar for a few minutes. I ordered the Italian sunrise martini. Oh my goodness that was good. Very quickly, we were taken to our little table and seated across from an older woman who obviously worked there. Turns out she was if I remember correctly the owner and proudly told us how she loved to cook and a little bit of her history. It was very enjoyable to sit there and talk with her. We started out by sharing the absolutely delicious and generously portion size bruschetta. It was fabulous. Probably the best I've ever had. Next came some simple Caesar salad salads, which were dressed just right. My gf ordered the chicken Parmesan and I ordered the chicken Caprese. So so so good! My GF said her chicken Parmesan was a little heavy on the cheese, but to me personally you can't have too much cheese so that was a plus in my book. We both left happy with full tummies and plenty of leftovers for dinner the next night.

Spaghetti and meatballs
Nick F.

OK, here's an update to my review. Last night, my plane got delayed and I decided to go to Toscana Italian kitchen again. I got a seat at the bar and ordered everything but the toasted ravioli from last time, because I knew I didn't have any help and I wouldn't be able to finish it all. Spaghetti and meatballs, with the choice of salad or soup. I went with the soup. It was a tomato soup and it was quite tasty, tomato basil. I ran into the owner Vinny and told him how much I enjoyed my last visit. Vinny and his mom, who comes in and greets people, do it the right way. They are local people with a local restaurant and they fix everything from scratch. You can tell. Once again, everything was awesome. I can't say enough about how good this place is. Do yourself a favor, go local, go to this wonderful little Italian place with a lot of heart and enjoy a great dinner. It's not often that I hit a restaurant a couple times in a few days and they really deserve it. I will definitely be hitting this place next time I'm in from Ohio.

Couples dinner date night.

Toscana is definitely a VIBE. My wife and I went last night for dinner, and most say, the experience there was amazing... The moment we walked in we was seated for our reservation time. She was very nice. It really nice, laid back low light ambiance. Our waitress(KAT) was on her game. Her patience, her being informative about the menu help me and my wife make a great decision on food, and Wine. We felt very welcomed. Once we got our food, it was amazing. Very fresh, and hot straight to the table. Thanks to the kitchen. Also, there was an older lady walking by asking us is everything okay and how the experience so far. She was very nice. We really enjoyed Kat as our waitress and the conversation about Life afterwards made it more comfortable. She's a good person. Thank KAT and everyone who helped make our experience very very wonderful. We will revisit in the future. Thank you Tocana

Bruschetta

Our server, Kat was so welcoming, kind and attentive. The family that owns the building truly uphold this place with their backbone and they were killing it in the kitchen. The food was perfect. The mama came to check on us and that added a more personable experience to the night for our party. The restaurant is so beautiful, we decided to return again at some point before our short trip here to visit, is over. Everything is made with such attention and care that I can't imagine anyone having an unpleasant experience here. We can't wait to come see them again.

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.

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 started with the Calamari appetizer, it was very good, however our entrees were not so good. The…read morechicken piccata was real sweet like they had put sugar on it and the chicken marsala was the worst I ever had, it was just a brown gravy with sliced mushrooms with a really weird taste. The service was very good and I really felt bad for the waitress because the entrees were so bad. The ambiance was a time warp lost in the 80's. This is a restaurant that I would not recommend.
