Review: My wife and I had dinner there this evening and the food was delicious and served hot. I had chicken parm and she ate eggplant. The sauce was excellent and definitely not from a jar. We were part of a large dinning group and the staff was very efficient and pleasant. We will surely be back again.

Review: This was hands down the best Italian I have ever had. I'm a vegetarian - my husband definitely not - and we both left smiling and satisfied. What a gem of a place!! It felt strange to pass big beautiful Carraba's to walk into the strip mall restaurant right next door.. but it was so great we're going back tonight and taking my parents and kids with us.
Keep up the great work!!!

Review: We have only lived in the Myrtle Beach area for about a year and Old World is our favorite restaurant. The Owners properly treat you as their guest. Seating is minimal, but the food is fantastic.

Review: My husband and I are huge fans of "Old World". The Veal Sorrento is incomparable and the traditional italian dishes are very good. There is an abundance of bread... There is a welcoming atmosphere and the bar area can accomodate 10-12 folks if there is a wait. Carrabas moved next door a few years ago and it actually increased "Old World's" business, so making a reservation is highly recommended.

Review: We have visited this restaurant many times since 2001, but not in the last year or so. We went last night and was seating within 10 minutes , even though the restaurant was half empty?? My Chicken Parmigiana was over cooked, almost burned. My wife order one of the daily Specials( Shrimp and Lobster Meat ) over Angel Hair Pasta w/ Alfredo Sauce. It was all pasta and sauce and we were charged $26.95. Our Waitress was not attentive , so overall we were not pleased .
Probably will not go back again. Pacino's is much better and prices are lower.

Review: My husband, family and I have been dining at Old World Italian Restaurant since it opened. Not only is it the most wonderful italian restaurant that we have ever dined at, but the owners and staff are like family. My husband just celebrated his 60th birthday and we had his party at Old World. Everyone absolutely loved the food and atmosphere and we were all treated like family by the owner and his lovely staff. It is the only place for excellent italian food, not only along the Grand Strand, but anywhere in South Carolina. Thank you Old World Italian Restaurant for your continued quality and wonderful service. We love you!

Review: So, okay. You might have a little wait at Old World, even if you have a reservation. There's a reason for that. It's very good, and worth the short wait. Not the largest menu in the world, but what is served is excellent -- try the chicken parmigiana -- my favorite. The service is fine, especially if you are friendly. They have many repeat patrons.
Go to some chain if you like, but my wife and I, both from Italian sections of Brooklyn, come here once each trip. So, go to Carabba's. Leave a table for us at Old World.

Review: Being new to the area and being Italian from NY, it was rough for me to find real home cooked Italian food. Old World met my expectations 100%. Recommended to me by my home insurance agent and very grateful for that!
I had Veal Parm and LOVED it...gravy is fantastic. Service was friendly, and owner a nice guy as well.
Being a local now, I can always find Italian food I love at Old World Italian Restaurant when I am not cooking at home.
Thank you to the owner and staff.

Review: It was a great time. Go early for the best level of service because I realize that people call in to reserve a tables. n This could cause a problem during busy time. But very welcomed and I would reccommend to anyone.

Review: We love Olde World. The food is consistently good and can't be beat anywhere on the Grand Strand. George will make you feel right at home. The bruschetta, homemade bread, and house wine are all exceptional. Try the New Zealand mussels with angel hair pasta. The mussels are also delicious served in marinara with bread for dipping as an appetizer. The tira misu is better anything you will get in Italy. If you have to wait just remember you will probably be glad you did!!!!!

Review: Friends from West Virinia raved about Olde World Italian so we tagged along with them one evening and found this spot to be very good, food was excellent and staff was helpful if asked a question. Even the owner made a stop at our table to ask how everything was, he got a two thumbs up from us all after spending a few moments chatting.

Review: On a rave recommendation from my parents we decided to dine at Old World. We love Italian and being from NJ as the owners are so looked forward to our evening. The atmosphere is fine, a small strip mall type restaurant with plastic flowers and white holiday lights for decoration. Our waiter was new but the service was fine. On the menu were 2 pasta dishes, Penne Arbiatta/Penne with a spicy pink sauce for 10.95 and Farfalla Vodka with Sausage/Farfalla with vodka pink sauce and Sausage for 17.95. I asked our waiter if I could have Penne with plain vodka sauce, no sausage. He asked the kitchen and came back to the table to say it could be done. No mention of an additional cost. The dish was awful, the sauce tasted burnt. When we received our bill I was charged the 17.95 price. Thinking it was a mistake I inquired to the hostess. She went to check with the owner who said that Penne Vodka or Penne Vodka with Sausage was the same price. If I had known that I would have ordered something else. I can't imagine that a bowl of pasta with pink vodka sauce could cost 17.95 and taste terrible on top of it. When I told George the other owner what had happened he just shrugged his shoulders. I am not a fan of chain italian but I would rather go next door to Carraba's or never eat italian again then to go to old world.

Review: This is a must if you like traditional italian food. We have eaten here many times and have never had a bad meal. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Make sure you call ahead with a reservation, especially if you have a large party. We are locals and always take out of town guests here for a great meal.

Review: Had been coming to the area from New Jersey, as a Time Share Owner, for many many years and found Old World through "word of mouth" about ten years ago. Have subsequently moved to Surfside Beach permanently.
This is the best restaurant on the Grand Stand for wonderful Italian food without exception. True New Jersey Italian cooking with an outstanding family ownership and great staff. George, the owner, is excellent and makes everyone feel like family but his greatest talent was finding a wonderful wife and raising a wonderful son to do the cooking.
We can't recommend this fine restaurant enough. A little reluctant to praise it too much so it gets too popular to get in but they do deserve it all.

Review: I recently had the good fortune to dine here twice in a 2 week period. Both for the "early bird" special. Salad, bread and entrees for two at $14.95 from a limited menu was absolutely "fabulous". I confess, I had the linguine with clams both times, rich in "white" sauce,garlic and fresh parsley. What a bargain! george and his staff were magnificent! good food, fair prices and superior service, what more can you ask for????.

Review: Growing up in an heavily populated Italian area, and marrying into an Italian family, I was surprised when I had the best Italian meal of my life in Murrells Inlet, SC at Old World. After helping move my Dad to the area, we went to grab some take out down the road. We met George, who suggested we try the veal. He did not disappoint us, ever since every trip to Murrells inlet inlcudes Old World. Try the veal!!

Review: Someone from Charlotte NC told me the best Italian restaurant in the Carolinas is Old World. So on a business trip to the coast I dined here. The food is delicious and it will be the restaurant I go to whenever I'm in the area. Whoever wrote the review to go to Carrabba's next door must be crazy. I ate there once, it's fast food, chain-restaurant Italian. If you want authentic, fresh, delicious Italian food, go to Old World Italian Restaurant.

Review: Very nice dining experience. George and family do a great job. Even Big Bob our waiter was entertaining. Seem to remember him from the Italian Schooner. George's son is the star of the show back in the kitchen. Great food and great prices. Enjoy.

Review: You can't go wrong with Old World Italian. The food there is exceptional. It tastes freshly made and the tira misu can't be beat - even in Italy!! The house wine there is also exceptional. I like the New Zealand mussels in marinara on angel hair pasta. My husband always gets a chicken dish that has marsala wine in it. Go to Old World and enjoy yourself!!

Review: This was our most enjoyable eating experience at Myrtle
Beach. Our waiter was friendly and quite knowledgable about the Italian cuisine. When we were seated we were served a complimentary plate of bruschetta while he rattled off all the specials of the evening. The lobster stuffed ravioli was exceptional, while the veal and chicken dishes were also quite flavorful. We didn't think the meal could get any better until we ended our meal with Tiramisu. The ladies thought it was the best of ANYTHING they had ever experienced!!!! What more can I say. Do yourself a favor and spend an evening here. Reservations helped us to be seated right on time.

Review: My husband and I recently tried this restaurant and we will be making it a weekly adventure. What a wonderful staff and now I know why everyone had a to go box. The amount of food for the money is well worth the little drive from downtown Myrtle Beach. The food was mouth-watering and hot. The homemade bread was to die for. The prices are average for the area and atmosphere a plus. This will be a place we take all our visitors. I have even called out of state to tell people that were making the trip not to forget to try this wonderful new experience.

Review: I love Old World!! I go there everytime that I go down to the beach and celebrate holidays there with my family. Everytime I go there someone always notices me and my family and friends and the food is fantastic. It is always a pleasure to go there and look foward the next time I am down at the beach.

Review: We went with friends who knew the owner but we still had to wait in spite of having a reservation. The veal was very good but the portions were on the small side.
It's a nice little place but we went during the Summer when it was hot and the AC was inadequate. The menu was overpriced considering what you got.
Our friends love the place so we'll go again but we believe Carrabba's is much better.

Review: We were in search of a great Italian meal, (no franchise chains!) and right next to Carabba's, we saw a non-descript store front with a packed parking lot.
We waited a bit for a table, but it was well worth it. Great service, excellent food, all freshly prepared by family.
House wine was superb, Sinatra music played in background.
Been going to the beach all my life (40+ yrs) never stumbled on this jewel, but will definitely go back and recommend it to others!!

Review: We are locals, and have been going to "George's" Old World for nearly a decade. This is good authentic Italian, not "Americanized" Italian food. Small, friendly atmosphere. Any delays in seating only go to prove how popular they are - so relax on the couch, have a glass of wine and anticipate a great dinner.

Review: Went to Old World Italian on the recommendation of a friend with some reluctance, but was pleasantly suprised at how good the food was. Great service, no wait to be seated (timing is everything) and easy to find. Would recommend to even the most selective italian food critics!

Review: Go to Carrabba's next door, better food and better treatment.
Everything I had at Old World seemed to be made from Old ingredients, not made fresh like at Carrabba's.
Oh well.

Review: We're from New York, and we're Italian, so when we go on vacation we are extremely picky about our Italian food. When we walked into Old World (we just refer to it as "George's place") it was like we were home.
Great food all the way around, authentic NY Italian, and I recommend the Chicken Marsala...
Oh yeah, order the Peroni beer. My husband drank that when he was stationed in Sardinia while he served in the Navy. I like it better than Heineken!
