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!

The Onion-Flavored BBQ Pizza: Intensely onion-flavored, it punches you right in the olfactory system. The Salad: A masterclass in minimalism. One single layer of lettuce and one lonely tomato.

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!

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.

My husband and I visited Ramando's Italian Grill on October 31, 2026, while vacationing in Myrtle…read moreBeach. Unfortunately, what should have been an enjoyable Italian dinner turned into one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had. We received a coupon through our hotel's coupon packet offering a free entrée with the purchase of another entrée. The person who gave us the coupon even registered it using my driver's license. Although the restaurant itself was nice, our waitress was extremely unfriendly from the moment we arrived. She never smiled, was very short with us whenever I asked questions about the menu, and made us feel as though we were bothering her. My husband and I are always friendly, courteous, and respectful toward restaurant employees, so her attitude was particularly disappointing. I ordered manicotti and specifically requested meat sauce, but instead received marinara sauce. Another disappointment. When it came time to pay, I presented our coupon. The waitress walked away and then returned, informing us that in order to use it, we had to purchase either an alcoholic beverage or an appetizer. We explained that we couldn't drink alcohol for health reasons and that an appetizer would be too much food. She then suggested that we could order dessert instead, so we agreed and ordered the Italian rum cake specifically to satisfy this requirement. We assumed the coupon would then be honored. Our credit card was charged $52.63. My husband's entrée was $28, we paid an additional $4 for two salads, and I ordered a Pepsi along with my manicotti. We also purchased the Italian rum cake because the waitress told us it was necessary to use our coupon. However, we were left with only a credit card receipt showing the total charge, with absolutely no itemized breakdown of our food, discounts, taxes, or possible service charges. It wasn't until we returned to our hotel that we realized we had no way of verifying whether the promised free entrée had actually been deducted. We also couldn't determine whether an automatic gratuity or additional fees had already been included in our total. Customers should not have to wonder whether a promotional coupon was honored or whether they were charged additional fees. An itemized receipt should make those details clear. Despite the waitress's unfriendly attitude and disappointing service, we still left her a $20 cash tip on a $52.63 bill -- approximately 38%. She simply took the $20 bill and walked away without so much as a thank-you. After the way she had treated us throughout the meal, that was particularly upsetting. What makes this experience even more frustrating is that we went out of our way to comply with the waitress's instructions regarding the coupon, even purchasing a dessert we hadn't originally planned to order. This is not about the money. It's about honesty, courtesy, transparency, and treating customers with respect. We have dined at many restaurants throughout Myrtle Beach and have generally had wonderful experiences. Unfortunately, this was not one of them. We hope management will review our transaction, explain whether our coupon was applied, and clarify whether any gratuity or additional charges were included in our bill. Based on our experience, we would not return to Ramando's Italian Grill, nor would we recommend it to others. Very disappointing from beginning to end.
