The outside of Pacino's looks like any ordinary plain restaurant in a small strip mall. Don't be fooled! Once inside it is well decorated, but more important it exudes warm, welcome and charm. One of the first things we noted was the high level of cleaniness specifically the open kitchen. The restaurant is small with approx. 14 tables and great atmosphere. The menu is very extensive with a good mix of Italian and unique Mediterrianan dishes. The wine list is also extensive with good depth. The staff are well informed, friendly and go to great lengths to ensure your dining is pleasureful. The food is excellent and well presented. The owner continually interacts with the guests. This is a wonderful hidden treasure!!! ref: 22298

Read about this restaurant on the web and had to try it. It lived up to its great reviews. Food was absolutely fabulous. I had the chicken trattoria and it was wonderful. A friend had the lasagna and said it was the best she had every had. Another had the stuffed shells and thought they were great. We will definitely come back to Pacino's. The owner stopped by to chat and wanted to make sure all was well. She was great and obviously loved what she was doing. Highly recommend this place...don't be put off by its unassuming exterior....you will love this place ref: 20733

The BEST Veal Parm I have ever had. My husband tries all the specials and not once was he disappointed, he just loves everything on the menu. The service is great and the owner is awesome. I love the way she comes out and makes sure that everything you are eating is to your expectation. (Which it always is). The early bird menu is also wonderful, and the price is awesome. I take all my guest when they are in to Pacino's. And each and everyone loved it. I also reccomend Pacino's to everyone.

This restaurant is very charming and small - reservations are recommended. We had a veal chop with a Marsala sauce on a bed of home made pasta, the other dish was a shrimp dish with a cream sauce over the home made pasta. The owner took time to visit at each table and spent time talking with us about the restaurant (she is a former IT program manager), but this is her passion. I rate the food, service and social aspect to be excellent and we will definitely plan to eat there again on our next trip to Surfside Beach. ref: 19788

Pacino's was recommended to us by a few locals in the area. We are Italian and are pretty picky when it comes to good Italian restaurants. Pacino's is a tiny restuarant with a cozy atmosphere. The service was great and the food was excellent. My husband and I tried the Chicken Tratoria and it was exceptional. We highly recommmend this restaurant. We will definitely be sure to return each time we are in the area. ref: 19074

We also decided rto come based on online reviews. When we arrived around 6pm on a Monday nite there was no one else in th e restaurant. But the aromas were fantastic and the wine list and specials looked great so we decided to try. We were Not disappointed!!! The food was excellent! Service friendly! Knowledgeable and very helpful as we asked a lot of questions about the Lebanese selections. Several other guests arrived during our dinner including some golfers who had been there the year before! Anyway, we'll definitely be back next year. Thank you so much for your hospitality Suggest you get a web site up tom advertise your menu. Would definitely help to show off your wonderful selections (including e bamba for dessert). Trevor,Donna,Terry and Marty ref: 18876

My wife and I had the special two dinners with choice of soup or salad and cannoli for desert all for $15. My wife had the mannocoti which was served very hot and according to her was very good, I had the chicken parm with spegetti which I thought was excellant. The breading on the chicken was so very flavorsome and made my meal extremely enjoyable. I would highly reccomend this restaurant to anyone who truly loves Italian food.

This is by far one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever eaten at. The service was excellent. We were checked on many times. The veal parmesan was to die for. They also have a great selection of desserts. Everything we ate was fantastic. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Be sure to make reservations as it is very small and cozy. ref: 17128

Found this restaurant by reading the reviews on this web site and I am so glad I randomly tried it. It is a small family owed place with Italian and Mediterranean dishes. I had the Blue crab ravioli and my wife had the chicken tratoria which was the best dish I have ever tasted. The blue crab was great also, but the chicken dish is worth the trip to this small jewel hidden among all the fancy commercial restaurants of the grand strand. ref: 16719

Having lived in the NY area and travelled throughout Italy we know good Italian food. In our opinion, Pacinos is one of the finest Italian restaurants in the Myrtle Beach area.Their signature dish, Chicken Tratoria, is not to be missed. They also have some Mediteranean dishes that make your dining experience very memorable. Their extensive wine list, personally selected by the owner, has something for everyones palate. We make a point of dining at Pacinos at least once a week, Don't miss it!!!! ref: 16621

This restaurant was a real find. A group, eight of us go Myrtle Beach every other year and each couple picks a place for dinner each night. When it was my night I chose Italian and did an on line check of Italian restaurants and Pacino's had many good reviews.Your credibility is always on the line when trying a new place. We all gave Pacino,s rave reviews and vowed to return. Every item we ordered was excellent. It sure beats going to any chain by a mile. ref: 15105

We had the opportunity, quite by chance to dine at this restaurant while we were visiting Myrtle Beach with good friends of ours.
What a REAL treat! (and wonderful change from the FAR too many seafood and steak house resturants in MB!) IF you enjoy really authentic mediterranean food, this is the restaurant for you! They even made us a fresh dish of tzadziki! The best dish for my money was the eggplant parm. I'd definitiley go to this restaurant again when I visit MB! Two thumbs up!!

Warm, friendly, classy without pretension.
A kitchen fully in possession of its skills, so go for the unusual. Have the fried spaghetti and the lebanese 'never heard of it' on the appetizer menu. Special request? No problem. One vegan in the crowd? Knock him out with an on the spot invention.
Order the house wines...good and value.
The staff all actually care about you and your food or flawlessly lead you to believe so. Doesn't get better. ref: 14796

This place is a find. Food is superb. The owner comes by each table to see how things are. We walked in without a reservation during the winter but you really should book ahead during the summer tourist season. It's small- I think I counted 13 tables. We go at least 1x on each trip down to SC. ref: 14130

This is an italian restaurant worthy of praise. This restaurant is so much more with only the freshest and best ingredients. The owners are the nicest couple that I ever met. The restaurant is immaculate and the pride that the owners have, certainly resonates throughout the restaurant, from the plating to the subtle italian decor. I had the honor of knowing this family on a personal level because I conducted business with these beautiful people and they treated me like family. I live in Connecticut now, but I miss this wonderful restaurant and I miss their food and their warm, inviting smiles. The eggplant is exceptional. I am very particular about italian food because I come from a part of the United States that reigns supreme for italian food and this place in little Murrells Inlet is a rare and unexpected surprise of incredible cuisine. - Audra Coart-Riccitelli ref: 10637

Best eggplant parm in South Carolina. Service is always excellent. Cute cozy atmosphere. Better prices than most of the Steakhouses around here. Place was packed the nite we went and we were still seated quickly. For a tiny little restaraunt it really was not that loud or uncomfortable. We felt very welcomed, and didn't feel rushed to finish our meal. Very pleasant dining experience. Will return again, and again. ref: 7963
