My wife and I come down from Knoxville once a year for an anniversary trip and always make it a point to eat at Villa Romana. The food is excellent, the servers are very friendly and often funny. The owners have made it a point twice to sit and talk to us making sure everything was ok. Best dining experience in Myrtle Beach by far. ref: 22301

Overall I give Villa Romana a 4 out 5 stars. I had the stuffed flounder with white wine sauce that was delicious. My wife enjoyed the parm chicken and the portion size had her asking the waiter Eric for a doggy bag. Eric provided excellent service drinks were never low, food was hot, and atmosphere was laid back. I would recommend this place to anyone to take the guess work out choosen a place for dinner. ref: 22103

Ville Romana has wonderful Italian food served in a great atmosphere. All meals are served with bruschetta, soup, and a salad. Be sure to save room for the main course as this is some of the best Italian anywhere - all of the food is completely made from scratch. Wait staff is attentive but not overbearing and Michael, the accordian player, is truly entertaining. Renaldo and Franca are gracious hosts. If you are a foodie, you MUST eat here when you visit Myrtle Beach. You will not be disappointed! ref: 22071

We were here for our wedding receptioin dinner. The staff, the food and the atmosphere could not have been any better. The food was so good that we visited again that same week before leaving. I can tell you we come to MB every year, and we will not leaving without visiting Villa Romana for dinner at least once. I can't thank the staff enough for all they did to make out wedding so special. The owner was just wondeful and so was the rest of the staff..THANK YOU...so much for all you did for us.

Just came back from Myrtle Beach this week and I had to look up this restaurant and write a review, something I have never done before. But this restaurant deserves every star you could give it! We found it purely by chance, we were driving by looking for restaurants that were busy ( when you are form out of town this is usually a indication that the place is good ) The place was packed, but luckily there was a table for two and we were seated immediately. I loved listening to live musician and the food came instantly, I can not say enough about how awesome the food was or how pleasant the staff. I only wish I lived closer so we could come more often. I would come to Myrtle Beach just for this restaurant! You will not be disappointed!!! ref: 21965

Wonderful dining experience. We keep going back. Real Italian meal with wonderful Italian hospitality. Combination veil, chicken and shrimp parm is out of this world. With the soup,salad and wonderful rolls we were stuffed. Wish we had had room for desert. Always make it our last dinner out before returning home from our vacation (Anniversary and valentine) celebration. No better way to celebrate. Owners greet us and remember us from year to year. Can't go wrong. ref: 21795

We were down there recently for a half marathon. Called for reservations, told they didn't have room until a later time. They called me back within 5 minutes with room. And, the rest is hard to remember. The food was SO good, I can't remember eating it. It took us to a level of heaven that can't be described. From start to finish, the soup, salad, bread & main course was by far the best Italian food I have ever eaten. If you visit Myrtle Beach, you MUST MUST eat here. The service was excellent & the pricing & portion was outstanding. Excellent doesn't begin to describe this place. ref: 21171

many years. Each and everytime we have had an excellent meal and friendly experience. The food is always excellent and served with excellence. We had ravioli and Veal Parmigana which was tasty and delicious.We feel the chef does an excellent job preparing the meals. We always bring our family and friends here for an enjoyable and delicious meal. Fran and staff are friendly and Mike does a good job entertaining the patrons with his variety of music on his accordian. Great Job Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

Dining out at the Villa Romana is like a family gathering place. The wonderful variety of appetizers(stuffed zucchinis) the entrees like shrimp de oro or veal absolut that always taste the same great taste as the last time you had them on a previous visit, the rolls, oh, and the list goes on. The wait staff is always attentive and helpful. Rinaldo and Fran are the best and make you feel just like family. This is truly our favorite place to go in Myrtle Beach. We can count on a great meal and great time. Thank you Villa Romano ref: 20956

My husband and I found VIlla Romana 11 years ago after watching the total series of the Sopranos on a long holiday weekend. We searched for a restaurant serving spaghetti all over the Grand Strand. We were lucky enough to find Villa Romana open. We make our weekly trip to Villa to experience the best of Italian food on the Strand. The hostesses/host are ever welcoming with a hug, and the wait staff are impeccable meeting all of our needs and expectations. The owners, Fran and Rinaldo are part of our family now and the manager, John, is wonderful in making you feel like you are home. The entertainment, Michael, on the accordian, has been playing since he was age 8 and can play any song your little heart desires. I can only thank the Sopranos for making us hungry for Italian food 11 years ago! ref: 20950

This restaurant is the highlight of my Myrtle Beach vacation experience! We found it on trip adviser and now come here every year. From the brushetta, soup, salad, bread, to the entre and dessert, all are most excellent! My husband calls me picky-I say I just know what I want- but I make up my own meal, and the chef prepares it just as I ask: angel hair with olive oil and pesto, garlic, tomatoes, and fresh mozerella- delicious! The service is fantastic-very attentive. The music (accordian) is great; this very talented and funny guys plays Phantom of the Opera complete with mask! The atmosphere is authentic- I've been to Italy three times. The only drawback is the wait (even with reservation) but I guess this just speaks to the excellence that folks are willing to wait for! ref: 20005

After being very dissapointed when we got to our hotel room(definitely not what was advertised), we went out looking for a good place to eat. We stumbled upon Villa Romana and were very pleasantly suprised by the atmosphere and smell when we stepped into the restaurant. We were seated right away. Our only complaint was with our waiter. I think he was new. The food was excellent, if not a little pricey. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to all. ref: 19714

On our one week holiday to myrtle beach we ate at Villa Romana twice. That's because we did not go there till half of our holiday was over. This could be one of the best Italian restaurants or even one of the best restaurants I have ever been in. The Pork Ossobuco, ask for it with one of there many home made pastas, was to die for, outstanding!! Same with there Combo Parmigiana. Great and friendly staff who know everything about their menu and wine list. Michael Del Gardo and his accordion was a great surprise and Michael is a very entertaining and great guy to talk with. But don't ask for Sex Pistols songs he's not big on that but he does a great version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd. If visiting myrtle beach any time soon and love Italian food, Villa Romana is a must!!!!! Thanks To The Whole Staff of Villa Romana. Will be back asap!!! ref: 19183

Upon the recommendation of a friend , eight of us sought out this Italian family owned and operated restaurant near the center of Myrtle Beach… and were not disappointed. We were greeted and seated by a friendly and polite host. Our waiter, Robert, was knowledgeable and his delivery of the food was perfect (don’t you just hate it when your main course is served before you have even taken a bite out of your salad! Not the case here). Robert was attentive but not overbearing to our dinning needs… and the food, oh yes the food, was excellent. My wife enjoyed the Veal Absoute and I had the Veal Marsala with, of course fresh mushrooms. Both were perfect with pasta on the side. As we completed our dinner Super Mario, Yes the 5’3, 380lb former USWA wrestler, stopped by our table to make sure we enjoyed our meal and treated us to a little Italian humor and storytelling. This is truly a restaurant you will want to make a regular on your visit to Myrtle Beach. ref: 19033

This is the authentic Italian restaurant experience all the other "Italian" restaurants are trying to achieve. This is the real deal. What a friendly, warm atmosphere! They have the ambience for a romantic evening without the stuffiness you get in some places. The food is absolutely delicious! I'm not Italian, but I know good food, and they have it. Whether you order lamb, veal, pasta, risotto...it's all beautiful and fantastic! You won't be sorry you tried it, and you WILL be back. :) ref: 19005

After trying many Itanian restaurants in the Myrtle Beach Area, we happend upon the Villa Rromana on Kings Highway between 7-8 Ave south. The food is really really good and the service matches the food. This is a family owned resturant which the locals support. My wife does't really like Italian food, BUT wehn we visit Myrtle Beach, we must eat here at least twice. They also feature an accordian player, who goes from table to table entertaining the guests - he is friendly and funny. A GREAT PLACE FOR ANYONE. Famiilies, adults, golfers, anyone ref: 18976

This is hands down our family's favorite resturant. We come down to Myrtle Beach every year for a week and manage to eat here at least 3xs while we are down here. The service is great, food is excelent, atmoshpere is really nice, and don't get me started on the halarious and talented accordian player who walks around to your table and plays requests. The place is a little expensive, but you're getting your mony's worth. They give you bruschetta, salad, soup, bread with awesome marinara sause, then your meal. We come out really stuffed, and bring home some food for awesome leftovers. Don't leave Myrtle Beach with out trying this! ref: 18700

Excellent menu, excellent service with knowledgeable wait staff, an accordion player who is absolutely hilarious, and the food... simply superb. This little restaurant is now one of our destinations when we visit the Grand Strand and will continue to be so.

My wife and I have been to Villa Romana five times and each time the experience has been better than the previous. We have brought seven different people to the restaurant and all seven have stated that they will be back. Some of the seven are hard core Italians of which I am one and we all say that the food, the service, the music, and the owners are the best. My wife went to a womens luncheon with at least twenty women and not one women complained about anything. If you want real Italian food made by real Italian speaking great people then Villa Romano is the place to go. Maybe I will see you there. Don't forget to ask for the homemade Lemoncello ! ref: 18012

Spent New Year's Eve Eve after looking for "nice" place to dine. Made reservations (as recommended), seated immediately. Quality service if a bit slow by some standards. Note: Don't go here if you are in a hurry; hurry is why they make drive-throughs. Otherwise, attentive, respectful service. Food selection, quality, temperature and preparation was appropriately "nice" for the evening we were expecting. No rush, allowed to enjoy courses. Salad, maybe a bit sparse, yet fresh and chilled. Very good sauces with large portions. Rolls (rather than loaves) were a pleasant and enjoyed surprise. Ambiance and skill of the accordion player was great if a bit loud but only if seated near the door. Will definitely return for a leisurely, "high" dinner after disappointment with some other places in town. EXCELLENT value. The number of "Italians" eating in an Italian restaurant was impressive. ref: 17993

We lived in Myrtle Beach from '82-'86 when my husband was
in the USAF. We always made Villa Romana our place to
go for our February anniversary and when visitors came to
see us. We made trips back to MB after moving to N.C. and
never forgot the experience of eating such a delicious meal
at VR. My brother in law and his wife had been there once
and when they came down for New Year Eve's celebration, we made it a point again to enjoy the celebration of such
good food. We were about to leave and requested the
accordion player do his "Sweet Caroline" rendition as we had
always requested on our anniversary. He so willingly did so
and afterwards, we had a nice chat with him. Our waitress,
Camellia, was a dear and so accommodating to our wishes. We look forward to going again soon! ref: 17962

As the owner of Villa Romana, I feel the need to respond to the review below about us being a health hazard. While I certainly do my best to prepare quality food, I know that not everyone appreciates my cooking. I also try to ensure that the service every customer receives, regardless of whether they are a party of 1 or a party of 20, is the same and high quality. However, when content appears here and elsewhere that is inaccurate, I feel I need to respond.
I can assure anyone coming to my establishment that we do not re-use any of the dinner rolls (or any other products for that matter) that have been transported to our patrons' tables. Anything that has left the kitchen is thrown away once it returns to the kitchen.
We do, however, dry out and use any rolls that are left over at the end of the night. But, those rolls NEVER leave the kitchen. It is our way of ensuring quality and eco-consciousness. These dried out rolls are then ground up and used as breading for our dishes that require breadcrumbs.
If anyone has doubts about this, I invite you into my kitchen at any time. The door is always open. ref: 17920

I have been here before and server & food was very good. This time the server was not very helpful and gave me an attitude every time I asked a question. But the final straw was their rolls. When the busboy came to start cleaning the table I noticed there were a few rolls left in the basket and since we had leftovers to bring home I suggested we take the rolls since they would have to be thrown away. At that point we were told they didn't throw the rolls away that the let them get stale and then they were used for breading. At this point I didn't know what to say. This is a such a blantant health hazard. People were touching these rolls, they could have been sneezing on them, they could be the kind of people who don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. I feel the health department should be aware of this. I will never eat here again. ref: 17868

My wife and I took our friends to Villa Romana for dinner on Monday, 9/20 and we were not disappointed. Their veal dishes are just fantastic, and when you take into account that the menu prices provide brushetta bread appetizer, soup, salad and your entree and side dish, I feel it is one of the most inexpensive places to eat on the beach.
The veal parmigiana at Villa Romana is the best I have ever ate. This time we upgraded our side from homemade spaghetti to their homemade gnocchi, and they too were fantastic.

WOW! What a wonderful time we had last night at Villa Romana! My wife and I had our date night last night and wanted Italian after eating seafood, burgers and wings the rest of the week. Each place that we have been to this week has been good, but this place was great. We had made reservations and were promptly greeted and seated. The server (Eric) was there when we needed him and gone when we didn't. It was a full coarse meal with soup and salad included and was delicious. Another fun aspect of the atmosphere was the accordion player who serenaded us during dinner. All around fantastic - Full coarse dinner with a bottle of wine and dessert all for less than $100. (including 25% tip). Will we be back? The wife says lets go back tonight and take the rest of the family :-) Needless to say we will be back!!! ref: 17154

This was our first visit to Villa Romana, and it will not be our last. Everything was excellent. The food was very good, and served hot. The atmosphere was calming and you could actually talk to people at your table without shouting. The accordian player was excellent and added a great deal to the atmosphere. We usually do not like accordian music, but his was wonderful. We each tried something different on the menu, and everything was very good. The only thing lacking was better attention from our waiter. He frequently asked the busboy to attend to our table. This was one of the our best meals during our trip to Myrtle Beach. ref: 17000

We ate at Villa Romana twice. It was that good. I grew up in Philadelphia, which has some seriously great Italian restaurants. I lived in Italy for a year when I was in the Navy and had memorable food there. But Villa Romano was just as good as any of them. IT IS THE BEST DINING EXPERIENCE IN MYRTLE BEACH. The food was a memorable experience. The bread (with a delicious marinara dip) and soup (a succulent Italian Wedding-type soup) were great starters. The salad looked good but I didn't have much of it because it had too many onions. I got it without onions the second time and enjoyed. I had a delicious veal dish on Wednesday and a wonderful Veal/Chicken/Shrimp Parmigiana on Friday. The pasta that came with it was enough to make a meal in itself; it was great.
My wife had an unbelivable dish called Ossa Buca. It was a pork shank that was tender as butter and was out-of-this-world good.
The service both days was outstanding, with helpful and knowledgeable servers. The highlight of the meal was a visit by Owner/Chef Rinaldo. I spoke my half-assed Italian and he humored me with his replies. He was a most cordial host. Grazi, Senor Rinaldo.
I loved this place. You must eat there (Make reservations!!!) I would have liked to have tried their pizza parlor, which was next door. ref: 16416

We have been going to Villa Roma for five years running and we look forward to our meal every time we visit MB. We have not found an Italian restaurant that can top Villa Roma back home or at MB. The food and service is outstanding and I recommend it to all my family and friends that go to visit MB. I just wish we had a clone in Greenville, SC. Everyone needs to try the Veal Cesar, it's the best!

My husband and I both come from Italian families. For me I am always looking for Italian food that reminds me of Mom and her homemade specialties. I am wary when I go to Italian restaurants especially of the sauce/gravy used. I can honestly say I found a place that has a sauce just as good as Mom's. We found the place last year by accident and went back the next night. This year we made sure to get there 2 times. The food atmosphere and services are all wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Next year we will be back and hopefully will be able to bring some of my extended family to enjoy this fantastic restaurant. ref: 15982

My wife and I ate at Villa Romana last Thursday, 6/25. I have to say I think this was the best italian meal I have ever eaten in a restaurant. One must remember when looking at the menu that the prices are for a full four course meal. Everyone gets tomato brushetta appetizer, soup, salad, and their entree. We both had Veal Parmigiana and it was outstanding. Even the side of spaghetti served with my meal contained homemade pasta. The restaurant accepts reservations which I recommend as it is not that large, and I really enjoyed the leasurely pace we were allowed to eat at. I am going back to MB in September and can't wait to visit Villa Romana again. ref: 15801

We arrived for our first visit on Sat night of Superbowl weekend and the place was packed and busy. We were immediately greeted by Fran, who owns the restaurant with her husband Rinaldo, and told the wait would not be long although there were many large tables being served. The atmosphere was lively, fun with a great accordian player. Our wait was short and we had a nice cozy table by a large group of people who entertained us during dinner. Our original waiter could not get to us so he intoduce our new waitress who was very good. We were brought a glass of wine by Fran while we waited for our table so we were content by the very brief wait even at the table. We loved the complimentary bruschetta, stracciatelli, salad and we were served a complimentary antipasto plate for having to wait. They did not have to do that as we were content with the pace and the surroundings. We loved the veal oscar but our favorite was the chicken stuffed with cheeses and topped with the orange sauce--not sweet but very flavorful! We had coffee and shared a tiramisu and then were surprised by Rinaldo's brother who brought us a complimentary homemade chocolate liqueur--it was delicious!! We were visited at our table several times by Fran and Rinaldo--, who celebrated their 24th year in business that weekend by giving every woman in the restaurant a long-stemmed red rose. We have told everyone we know, how great this place is--from the atmosphere to the food to the warmth of the owners and staff!! We hope to go again soon and wish it were near us so we could make it our 'regular' place!! ref: 13932

While my family and I prepared for our MB destination, I read the reviews for Villa Romana and couldn't wait to form my own opinion. Coming from Phily,PA (org NY) I KNOW Italian food and believe me, this place is the REAL DEAL. I honestly can not say enough about it. The food and service was out of this world. I had the Veal Caesar, my wife had a 'special' Chicken dish with orange sauce (thanks to the server to talking her into it; she was going to get the Ravioli, which you can get anywhere) ..two of the best dishes I've ever had!! The accordion player was very entertaining. Not only does he have a musical gift, he also has a 'gift' with people. After talking with him and watching him with other tables he has the ability of relating with every type of personality; he is truly a unique individual and adds so much to the atmosphere.
The server was very professional and charming. In addition, I can tell he was genuinely interested in every detail to make sure the service was excellent -- very pleasant guy. Sure all servers work 'extra' hard for good tips but he was one of those types that you could tell he TRULY wanted his table to experience the best service as possible. I can't remember his name ( I have a bad memory for names) but I do remember he being from Mississippi.
I'm SO glad I found this web site b/c it lead me to one of the most unique and best dining experiences I've ever had. We're going back down there next summer and will probably visit every night!!

Hello Friends
This is M& J R from Iowa . We wanted to share some thoughts about your wonderful restaurant.
I am originally from Pennsylvania and grew up eating marvelous Italian food thus I consider myself knowledgeable about what is marvelous . In 1974 I moved to Iowa and have lived here ever since. Good Italian food can be found here if one looks hard enough…marvelous on the other hand is not so readily available.
My wife and I began vacationing in MB about 9 years ago. Over that time we have tried many restaurants up and down the Grand Strand. During one of our earlier visits our good friend GC suggested we try your place and three years ago we made our first stop. Since then we have been back every vacation (twice a year).
Everything about your restaurant is totally impressive…the decor, the service and of course the food!! During all but one of our visits our waiter has been Michael and he is an absolute gem and gentleman. Totally attentive to all our needs from wine to snapping a few memorable photos. We cannot say enough good things about him. Please tell him we send our regards.
We have tried a number of dishes during our visits and they are all wonderful but I must say the Chicken Fiorentina all' Arancia which I had this last visit (09/10/08) was probably one of the most amazing dinners I have ever had…and at 56 I’ve had more than a few!! This time we dined with friends G& N C. As we dined we had several visits from the Chef and another charming gentleman that told us stories and made us laugh. The meal was amazing from start to finish.
Then there is the accordion player Michael Del Gardo. He is truly a wonderful man and we got very well aquatinted during our last visit…in fact we discovered we are both lovers of Grateful Dead music. We had a great conversation about music and life as we dined.
To sum it all up we absolutely love your restaurant and everything about it. Although it took a few vacations to find Villa Romano we plan to dine there as often as possible. When we retire in a few years and move to MB we will become permanent fixtures at your place.
Again, Thank you so much for absolutely wonderful dining experiences. Say hello to all our friends there.
We’ll see you on our next stop in MB
Best Regards
M & J R

My wife and I got tired of the seafood buffets at Myrtle Beach so we started looking for an Italian restaurant. We found Villa Romana. I love Italian food and this was the best I have ever eaten. My wife was in total agreement. It was a little pricey but worth every penny. We had spent close to the same amount at a seafood buffet and were dissappointed, a few dollars more here and we were blown away! I would recommend it to anyone wanting value for their money. We'll definitely go back on our next trip to Myrtle Beach. ref: 12123

I was looking for an italian restaurant while in vacation in MB and saw in the phone book that this was rated the best italian restaurant in MB 4 yrs in a row. They gave you a lot of food however, for someone that wants to eat healthier there is limited options on the menu. The bread they give you w/ the marinara sauce was excellent. The soup was doused in parmesan cheese and the salad drenched in oil that i could not even finish it. i ended up getting the chicken parmesan for an entree which was just OK but then again i am from NY and from an italian family so i am used to having good italian food. My fiancee liked his gnocchi however. I don't know that i would go back but it wasn't bad and reasonably priced for all the food you get w/ your meal. ref: 11551

We decided to give Villa Romana a try. The service was excellent in the beginning. A waiter encouraged us the food menu items that are expensive, however we ordered for pasta and paste meal instead and the meatballs were ok to us. The waiter did not come to us to check if what we need like refilled bread while we were eating. The light was too dim, we barely were able to read the menu. We arrived early, before the rush. Toward the end of the meal our server was nowhere to be found. He was busy serving the other people that were being seated. We recieved our check which not mention that the 15% gratituity for the four of us was already included.

Being Italian myself, I know good food and this place excels in it's freshness and it's ability to capture the homemade goodness I remember growing up. You can't do any better for Italian food in Myrtle, and the accordian player, Michael, makes the night even more memorable. I also used to play accordian as a kid and he just adds to the trip down memory lane.

On Nov. 30th my wife and I visited after reading the reviews on here. We arrived about 8 pm and were seated promptly. We were not sure if we had made a good choice or not because of the strong cigarette smell from the smoking section. As soon has the food started arriving, we knew this place was a winner! The portabella mushroom appetizer was fantastic. The salads were very tasty and the perfect size! My wife loves eggplant and Villa Romana really satisfied her taste buds. I had the veal and it was tender and great. The site made pasta really was great...fresh is best! . Other than allowing smoking, the place is darn near perfect.

Growing up in in Italian Restaurant, I consider myself to be an Italian food snob. This place is the real deal! Authentic food, Authentic atmosphere, Outstanding Food and Wonderful service (We usually request Camille) . The owners are wonderful people and are often seen in the dining room, going table to table, insuring that their guests are satisfied. The meal includes bruschetta, soup, salad, the best bread rolls in myrtle beach, and the main course. The veal dishes are world-class, as well as my favorite gnocchi. You really cant go wrong ordering from their menu. The prices include a gratuity, however, we always through some extra dollars Camille's way, due to her fine service. The accordian player is extremely talented and humorous. He plays Italian traditionall music mixed with contemporary music (Pink Floyd, Led Zepellin) and is excellent with children. Make sure he does "Old MacDonald" for the kids.
Best Food in Myrtle Beach without a doubt, and very reasonable prices! Trust me - you can't go wriong! ref: 9158

I went with a group of friends who were visiting Myrtle Beach from all over. We had never eaten at Villa Romano, but looked the menu up online and were impressed with the prices (similar to Carabbas, but much more food....). The wait staff is excellent, from the hostess to the guy who loaded our to-go boxes. They are very accomodating and very nice. I had the Shrimp San Marzano....and it was excellent. I couldn't finish it because I had filled up on salad (great dressing), bread (crusty and the dipping sauce is addictive) and soup (which was tasty). The portions were excellent and everything well cooked. I would highly recommend this place and can't wait to introduce it to others! ref: 8729

My mother and I went to the beach from Virginia last year. Villa Romana was definately one of the hightlights and we decided to go twice. the second time we went we thought we would have to wait and we didn't care we would have waited all night!
I'm taking my fiance there this year and can't wait to go. Sure there's the beach but I think I'm more excited to eat at Villa Romana.
I tell anyone headed to Myrtle to GO! ref: 7605

After reading other reviews, my family decided to give Villa Romana a try. The food was good, different than expected. Somewhat pricey. The service was excellent in the beginning. We arrived early, before the rush. Toward the end of the meal our server was nowhere to be found. She was busy serving the other people that were being seated. We became less important to her. It took us 1/2 hour to receive our check, not to mention that the 18% gratituity for the four of us was already included. ref: 7462

We have been told by friends to try Villa Romana and have never made the time. This year we did, and are we glad. The food was GREAT. I haven't had Italian food this good in a long time. The staff sat us immediately, go early it filled up in about 15 minutes after we arrived. Make reservations. They start you with warm bread and sauce to dip, then soup and salad, and then your meal. We had dishes with Veal and they were delicious. Wish they'd open one in New York. Wait Staff was always there for any refills or to ask us if we needed anything. There will always be time on future visits for Villa Romana. ref: 7271

My husband and I are regulars at Villa Romano and know the excellent entertainer and accordianist personally. During the summer months it is a difficult trip to the restaurant from Loris. The craving for italian food got the best of us and led us to try Umbertos for the first time. Never, never again. Poor service and poor food. The veal was thick and rubbery and the sauces tasted as though they were reheated many times. We love you Villa Romano and will see you again in Sept. ref: 7220

Villa Romana has been in Myrtle Beach since 1985. I consider myself to be a "foodie". I would describe the food as upscale homestyle italian. I have eaten at the restaurant 5 times in the past 4 years and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is family oriented with many large parties of families who return year after year. The value for the money is excellent. You get a complimentary plate of bruschetta and then soup and salad with your entree. All of the food is prepared from scratch and made to order so if you are expecting to get in and out in 45 minutes you may want to reconsider. The family takes great pride in the restaurant and it shows. The food is among the best of homestyle italian (vs. fine dining italian) that I have ever eaten. The kitchen can only put out so much food at once so sometimes the meals take awhile (not the servers fault). The wine list offers plenty of choices at different price points. This is a Myrtle Beach institution not to be missed! ref: 7206

My wife, son, and I ate there on 7/17/07 and we thought the place was great. They came by to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, refilled our beverages as we were finishing them, and the food was some of the best Italian we've ever had. I asked the hostess if it was possible to come to New York to open another. Great Restaurant, you won't be disappointed. ref: 7186

My family of four decided to give this restaurant a try after reading other reviews. We arrived around 5:00 and was seated right away, however the manager told the hostess that we would be the last ones being seated without a reservation. She was very unprofessional when speaking to the hostess. We felt bad for her. The meal was excellent and our waitress was very attentive. However, after we ordered the restaurant was getting crowded, I guess, with people that had made reservations. We all of a sudden became less important to our waitress. We waited over 45 minutes getting our check and paying our bill and the gratuity was already added to our bill. My husband didn't question it since we already waited so long. Overall, it was way overpriced for what we ordered. Our next trip to Myrtle Beach, for italian, will be Carrabba's. ref: 7018

We recently dined here on our vacation. The waitress seemed a little put out to serve us. I don't believe she had the job she needed. Our food took quite a long time to be served, when we got it two dinners were less than satisfactory. One was eggplant parm, one of my favorite meals. It was very dry and rubbery as if it was not freshly prepared. The second unsatisfactory meal was fetuccini with shrimp, the noodles were overcooked. My children ordered spaghetti which was o.k. I chose to not mention my dissatisfaction with the eggplant parm because of the waitress' negative behavior. I did insist my son mention he was not satisfied with his meal. By the time we could even find the waitress to let her know. The rest of the family was done eating. She took his meal away, came back 10 minutes later and said they would charge us 5.00 due to the fact some of the shrimp was eaten and that he could order something else. He ordered another dinner and asked to have it put in a to go container since we were long finished eating. The waitress never inquired why I didn't eat my dinner or wonder why I didn't want a to go container even though I took only two bites and left the rest because it was horrible. This was a total disaster, very expensive and no one seemed to care.. ref: 7002

The food was pretty good, but i wouldn't say it was the best i ever had. But, the best part of Villa Romana was the atmosphere. YOu feel like you are really in italy with the accordian player and everything. ref: 6780

Everything about Villa Romana is wonderful. We requested to be seated at this little area that has only one table. Surprisingly, they had it waiting for us! I figured I would try to get it for the privacy but I never expected to get the seat so easily. We have never waited longer than 5 minutes to be seated. We've been to the Villa 3 times and we love it. I can actually say that the Villa is my favorite! The taste and price of the food is beyond excellent! ref: 5768
