Very disappointed in the food. The waiter was great but the rest of the meal was not. My veal was over cooked and dry. My wife's meal was also dry. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and music playing. However you could not hear the music as a group of waiters were standing around talking loud and laughing. ref: 27992

My wife and I visited this place while vacationing in July of 2012. The first time we went we sat at the bar and had drinks. I ordered the lobster and filet mignon bites as a recommendation from the bartender. We were not there for a complete meal. I will tell you. this was absolutely incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as we sat with two locals who attend on a regular basis and met the wonderful bartender who has worked there forever. GREAT guy! We learned so much from the bartender about the many people who have been to Rossis over the years, some very famous. The service was awesome and we felt right at home! They told us about the other side of the restaraunt where there is a piano bar and that we should attend it sometime. We took his advice and came back for the piano bar the next night. I didnt feel comfortable as it was very "flashy" with people that are obviously out of my league on the social ladder. We did stay long enough to dance on the small dance floor and have a drink or two and listen to the VERY entertaining piano player. If you are into that kind of thing then this is the place for you. It's not me and I have no interest in being around people with egos, cigars and young hotties arm and arm with old, rich guys with one foot in the grave! As for the rest of the restaraunt, I would like to return for a complete dinner as the ambiance is great and the experience was as well. It's pricey but thats obvious when you walk in so it shouldn't have been a surprise to those who stated so on other reviews. I meant to return there when I vacationed in 2013 however, we never found the time to do so. Maybe this year! ref: 27246

How sad this place still insults the fine folks who try to visit the Myrtle Beach area by scamming every customer . They have a lot of building to fill up . Life's too short to eat frozen food next to the ocean. PS, that's not Snapper nor Grouper...ask your bartender ref: 27154

We love this place. We visit Mytle Beach a few times a year and if you like Italian food, you're not going to beat this place. This may look like I'm related to the owner, but I'm not. I just read a bad review dated in June 2012. Do yourself a favor, give 'em a try. We usually show up as close to 5:00 PM as possible and it has always been very quiet. If you don't like noise and you're not showing up on a Friday night around 8:00 PM, ask for a 'quiet table'.
My favorite is Chicken Marsala. If you like 'gravy' (or sauce) -- ask for 'extra'. And if you like salad, try the creamy dressing that has a very small amount of the red pasta sauce added to it. I'm not sure how they make it, but it's great. ref: 26106

Many years ago was a good place for Italian, not now! The food is bland, borderline cold, portions small and the bread must be frozen out-of-the-box. The staff push's their expensive drink menu thru-out, way, way too expensive, and not good. I've had stouffers frozen meals that were much better! Who wants to spend sixty plus dollars for a ho-hum meal that's nasty? Save your money and go else where.... ref: 25238

Rossi's is by far the best restaurant in Myrtle Beach. Rossi's has been a staple in MB for twenty-five years As I read comments, it seems to me the only people that are dissatisfied are folks from New Jersey. Why is that? My wife and I have eaten there for 18 years and never had a bad experience. I love the fried lobster with honey mustard, and the steaks are butter-knife tender. Maybe the Jersey people are too used to Olive Garden! ref: 23893

We've been to Rossi's a few times over the past few years and love it. You can't beat it for atmosphere. With Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennet singing in the background! Have a glass of wine, some bread, an appetizer and an entree of course. You'll be in heavan. It's the place I want my husband to be, to ask me to marry him! Love this place.

We had high hopes for this establishment but were very disappointed. I ordered the chicken marsala which was very bland and I may have been better off ordering Iams dog food for a higher quality meal. The salad with the meal was drenched in dressing. I pushed it aside after taking just a few bites. Others in our party ordered a strip steak for $38.95. They agreed that it was good but also stated that it wasn't worth the price. The dinner bread was just ok. I'm not much of a bread person anyway so it's probably not fair to judge that portion of the meal.
The service was mediocre at best. Again, for the price we paid, I expected better. Overall, it's not a place I'd return to unless someone else was paying. ref: 22808

We started with the fried lobster bites. It was enough of 4 people and rather tasty. I had the grouper oscar and my wife ordered the grouper "Rossis style". Each meal came with a salad, pasta choice, and garlic bread. My wife up graded to a Greek salad which was very good and also enough for 4 people. My dinner was nothing special, but my wife enjoyed hers. We ordered an inexpesive bottle of wine. The total was $138 plus tip. Brought home enough food for lunch and dinner the next day. Atmosphere will appeal to the Frank Sanatra crowd, so leave your children at home. I can now say that I have been there, but would not go back. ref: 20915

Prior to eating here we heard mixed reviews, but decided to try it anyways. We made a poor choice! The food was so bad we left both meals on the table after just a few bites. Since trying other Italian Restaurants in MB we have found several that are much better in quality, price and atmosphere. If you eat here, please don't set your expectation high. If you do you will be disappointed. ref: 20632

The food was very good but not excellent and it was more on the pricey side. The service from our waiter was very good and it was a quiet dimmly lit table. The veal saltemboca/piccatta was very good and the seafood special was pretty good. The garlic olio pasta was just overcooked pasta with canned minced garlic and olive oil dumped over the top. I like garlic but they really liked to just used the canned minced garlic and dump it on several of thier dishes. It was then very bitter and didn't make for a great bite. All and all though a nice meal. ref: 20062

I dined here tonight (June 30, 2010) for the first time in five years. I'm not a huge Italian fan, but when going, I'm not sure there's a better place than Rossi's. The owner (I think his name is Dino) was at the front of the restaurant tonight assigning tables-seating for guests. He acknowledged customers as soon as they walked in the door, had a smile on his face and was very nice, just as I remembered several years ago. The waitress was outstanding, nice and was very thorough. There's a lot of attention to detail with this restaurant. The penne pasta/italian sausage/meatballs were outstanding. The appetizer (fried lobster/filet mignon) was perfect. The house merlot also was the best we've had in some time. My biggest regret was that I haven't been here in five years. I'll be back this fall when I return to the Grand Strand. ref: 19588

This is by far the best restaurant I have ever been to!! My husband and I are from Marion, NC and come to the beach at least twice a year and this is a must for us. The service provided here is very professional. They really treat you like your their only customer. The food has a taste of it's own, very very good. I order Lasagna about every time, we get mushrooms to start with, my husband gets a sampler platter which has about five different items with it. He loves everything. The portion sizes are big and plenty!! The cheesecake with white chocolate is to die for. We have had the best most romatic experience here everytime we have visted. The atmosphere is so cozy and romatic. The price is very reasonable also. The last time we ate here was May 29th, 2010. ref: 19204

My husband and I always go to Rossi's when here in Myrtle Beach. We always get the appetizer for two... fried lobster, blackened beef tips and scallops. A glass of wine, the garlic bread, and that's our meal. Plenty of food so don't order the appetizer AND a dinner because it would be way too much to eat (for two people)! If you do decide to order a dinner, be sure to try the fried lobster. It's reeeealy good! ref: 19046

This was our first visit to Rossis. It will not be our last. The restaurant is quite large but the interior is nicely divided into smaller spaces creating a quiet(we were there in the off season) and more intimate atsmosphere. While the menu is pretty much what you expect for an Italian restaurant, there are a few places where the selections show a bit more creativity. The meal was not the usual Italian fare but truly a cut above. They offer "small plates" for a reduced price and the servings are still very generous. The salads were nice and very fresh but the dressings were a bit of a dissapointment ; very little blue cheese in one dressing and the house dressing was a creamy Italian when I expected a very fresh oil & basalmic, my fault as I should have asked first, but it was tasty none-the-less. ref: 18116

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants, It is one of the few I always go to when in Myrtle. This is a nice restaurant. It is always busy. (If it were bad it would not be crowded) A simple tip, stop by or call earlier in the day or the day before AND MAKE A RESERVATION ! Last time I was there, I made my reservation for 7 PM, we arrived about 10 minutes early, As I approched the Matre'd, a young couple put there name on the list, They had a two hour wait.
I then told the Matre'd my name and that I had a reservation for 7PM
"right this way Mr. Jones, your table is ready" Magic ? -no - Reservation !
As for the food, If you want Fazoli's or Fazoli type food go to Fazoli's. But if you want a fine meal, this is the place. Let your waiter help you with your food choice. They are very knowledgeable and hard working. I had commented to my wife that our waiter should be cloned, that he was one of the most effecient waiters I had ever seen. I love their Veal Oscar. It is not on the menu, but they will make it, In fact our waiter said it was a very popular with their regulars. . Special requests are not a problem for them. As for the negative reviews, some people can always find something to gripe about.
Remember make a reservation, and smile to yourself as you walk by all the people that waited and just put their name on the list. ref: 17404

So many opinions a total of 57 they feed 1000s of cutomers with many on numerous returns. It seems as if they had a bad day or one bad experience .I would not let that keep me from trying Rossis you will come again and again. As for the owner being Greek what would that mean they have been in the food industry for generations and some even own good old American Mc Donalds imagine that.I would compare it to many of our fine etablishments in Chicago or my visits too New York. It saddens me when one time visitors place judgements on someones lifetime of success and hard work shame on them. Deane and the staff of Rossis keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the second time my husband and I have eaten at this restaurant. He loves italian food, and I love seafood. It was the best of both worlds. The waiter was so knowledgeable about the wine list, and did an excellent wine presentation. The atmosphere is great if you are seated in a room without windows, otherwise the view isn't so great. The walls absorb the sound well, so even though there were 2 crying babies in there, it didn't affect us much. My husband enjoyed the fact that they served a huge "boat" full of Parmesan cheese which he used all of. The bread was glazed with butter and garlic, which would've been better with olive oil and balsamic vinegar instead of butter (they had the former 6 years ago.) The seafood is fresh. I think we'll make this a regular stop on our trips to myrtle beach. I love when you can find a nice restaurant and not get caught in all the tourist trap restaurants. ref: 15806

This place should be closed down. I'm from North Jersey and the actual waiter we had did not know of anything Italian. The owner himself didn't know anything Italian. Fast food is what it is.......

We dined at Rossi's on 12/11/08. We had beef tips for an appitizer, which were "just right spicy" and very tender, with two ifferent dipping sauces. The house salad we had was fresh and delicious with the blue cheese dressing. I had cheese stuffed shells in marinaro sauce which was delicious, my wife had veal parmigeon and lagagna which she enjoyed greatly. We had cabernet house wine which was just right and tiramazo which was light and delicious. Our waiters name was John and the service we received was outstanding and we have never had better service. He was there when we needed him but didn't hover. Overall the night was better than excellant. ref: 13430

They spend a lot of money on advertising and hype. Being from Chicago where true Italian restaurants are plentiful, Rossi's is no comparison. Waiting to get seated was too long as it wasn't that busy and we were staring at open tables. The service was poor. They act like you were lucky to be there. Back to the hype. The food just isn't that good. Especially for the price. Just because they have the biggest signs on the highway and have the most commercials on the radio doesn't make them better. We have been going to MB for 15 years and every few years we give it another try in case they somehow changed. So this year in September of '08, we tried once more. Nothing changed. Same mediocre food, snotty waiter, poor service. You shouldn't have to keep looking for someone to get some wine with your dinner. And after the wine order is taken, it should come back in less than 15 minutes. Save your money. Many fine smaller places there that care that you dropped in. ref: 13205

This is the best restraunt in Myrtle Beach. The price is a little high, but worth every penny. They have the best crab dip I have ever had. The food on the menu can be traded out for a different item. My fish was to be served with scallops and shrimp, but I substituted it for crab. The waitor said the kitchen can do anything. It was to die for. Very Clean! ref: 12502

I have been going to Rossi's for the past 4 vacations with my family and it is the culinary highlight of my year. Those that gave unfair reviews must either A) Not be Italian, or B) Not realize that Rossi's is an experience, not your average Fazoli's -style dining!
I highly recommend the Italian sampler for those with a larger appetite, as well as a cannoli for dessert...it is definately worth the feeling of being overly full!
Definately get a reservation! ref: 11995

Lousiest dining experience of my life. Waiter (who appeared to be under the influence of something) knew nothing about the menu and made error submitting our order to the kitchen. Food was not as we ordered.
Manager was somewhat sympathetic at first but unhelpful.
Paid cash for half-eaten meal and left.
Was followed into parking lot by manager and waiter claiming we had not paid.
Then the money magically appeared in the waiter's hand.
Manager was unapologetic for the scene created in the parking lot.
Told manager and waiter where to shove their restaurant. Will never set foot in that place again.

I've been vacationing in Myrtle Beach since the early '90's and Rossi's was always my favorite restaurant. We'd always save it for our last night as a special treat. I've taken friends and family there and have told many to people to eat at Rossi's. But, I must say that my last couple experiences there have not been up to par. My favorite entree was always the filet oscar...last fall it was nothing like I'd had in the past. I believe in giving places, especially an old favorite, another chance. This month, May 2008, I took 8 friends with me. There was not one person happy with their meal or the service. Our waitress was very unfriendly and inefficient. Specials were announced without prices...none of asked...our mistake! Most of us ordered the Grouper with one piece of shrimp and two scallops. The grouper was very fishy tasting, didn't even taste like Grouper...most of us were charged $36 for this entree...one of the women was charged $39.99 and the waitress argued with her about it. One woman was brought the Grouper special instead of the Veal Special...upon telling the waitress, she acted like she doubted my friend, but did eventually return with the Veal entree...about halfway through our meals. But, the odd part was, the manager came and questioned my friend about changing her mind. She was sitting right beside me...the Grouper was parmesan encrusted, this person does not even eat any kind of cheese and had definitely not ordered it. I think the waitress was trying to pawn the mistake off to the guest instead of admitting she'd made the mistake. She was promised a free dessert for the mistake...which never was mentioned again, she didn't receive it or any other compensation. Our water glasses were never refilled, coffee was never mentioned, except for one person who ordered it and never received it. Two of the women did order the filet oscar...at a price of $49...and weren't impressed. I felt terrible I had taken my friends to Rossi's and will never return. The only good thing I can say about our experience that night was that the Lobster bites were still great. Rossi's has lost a good customer, I'm in Myrtle Beach four times a year and they'll never get any of my business again. There are too many other great restaurants in MB to waste my money on yet another bad experience. ref: 11132

Well, we heard of Rossi's through a work colleague, and will be definitely returning. I am I talian, and the Linguini and Clams were as good if not better than my own. We sat at the bar for a while talking witht the bartender, had some of the wonderful cheese with our wine. I would suggest that you give yourselves plenty of time. Not because of the wait, but because to truly enjoy the atmosphere, the smell of good Italian food (garlic) is to enjoy Rossi's. I will be back in Apriol, October, April, etc.... ref: 10004

This was my first visit, but certainly not my last. The owner's neice attends school with my son and she suggested Rossi's. Figuring she wouldn't lead us astray we went. We were seated immediately, of course it was off season. The place is absolutely beautiful inside. Not anything like I would expect in a shopping center. The waiter was very informative and knowledgeable about the dishes. We ordered the feta stuffed mushrooms appetizer. I don't like mushrooms, well I didn't before Saturday. My son had a lasagna/stuffed shells dinner and it was great. I had steak tips marsala with peppers and onions. The marsala flavor was perfect. We had planned on desert, but that was impossible. We would have needed to be rolled out of the place. While not the cheapest place on the Grand Strand, sometimes that's not what you're looking for. I'd highly suggest Rossi's and I will surely be back! ref: 9417

Last Visit:October 2007
Rossi's recently went no-smoking in the dining room. Since I have asthma, that's important. We were looking forward to a nice dinner. We were very disappointed. I ordered the special but the waiter didn't let me know the price. $36 for 2 tough pieces of mystery fish (flounder?) with tough overdone shrimp and 2 really good scallops. They were all coated with crisp parmesean cheese with no flavor. The food was also room temperature. My husbands spaghetti and meatballs were also room temp. The table next to us had the same issue with their dinner. The dining room is too dark to see the menus easily but it sure is pretty. The waiter looked a little disheveled and spoke so quickly and softly I just gave up trying to understand him. Another table next to us just got up and left. The table of women seated after us kept asking for prices for the specials and he kept trying to evade the question but still sell the specials. It was VERY disappointing. We eat out alot and live in Myrtle Beach. We won't be back.

I was a little hesitant about trying Rossi's after reading the mixed reviews on here... but I am SO GLAD we did. First of all, the food was OUTSTANDING. I am originally from northern New Jersey AND I'm half-Italian so I do know decent Italian food from bad Italian food, and this was great. Ok the sauce wasn't SUPER but it was all right. Everything else was great. The bread was to die for, even the wine was great. Second, the service was GREAT... our waiter was very attentive. Also, the atmosphere was beautiful.... Very romantic, if you're with a date or someone special. My only teeny tiny complaint is that they dim the lights a little TOO much, you can barely read the menu or see your food, haha (and I have very good eyesight!). But that's ok, it was totally worth it. On a side note, I totally have the UTMOST respect for Rossi's for being voluntarily SMOKE FREE, and stating on the menu to take your cell phone calls outside and please remove "unhappy children" from the dining room... Awesome!!!! ;) I wish we had Rossi's here in Charlotte :) ref: 8420

This is my Favorite restaurant in Myrtle Beach.
The food has always on every occasion been excellent.
Our waiter on our last visit was fantastic, I particularly noted his efficiency and attention to detail, as well as his candor in guiding my wife and I with our selections.
I had my perennial favorite Veal Oscar. It is not on the menu but they will gladly prepare it. My wife had the Veal Marsala. Both were Excellent.
I made a reservation the night before, and arrived a few minutes early. "Right this way Mr. _____ , your table is ready. "
The fellow that put his name on the list for a party of two ,as I walked up to the maitre de was told that there would be a 60 to 70 minute wait.(but still worth it ) -- Tip get a reservation. A perfect dining experience. ref: 8146

For all the hype , Rossis was a bust. It took us 45 minutes to get our salads and another 30 minutes to get our meal. Our waiter was no where to be found. The entrees tasted nothing like traditional Italian cuisine and were bland at best. If that red mess was Italian sauce , then I suggest a cooking class refresher. The bill was the only memorable item. This was the worst value we experienced in Myrtle Beach ! ref: 3734

My wife and I were married in MB last Saturday 5/6/06. We had 30 guests and a reception followed at Rossi's. We tried it last year and scouted it. It was pretty good then. We have been dealing with the manager Scott since then and up to the wedding day. All I can say is wow!!! We pulled it off with out a hitch and couldn't have done it without Rossi's. All but three of the guests where from out of town and EVERYONE loved it . There were several Italians in the crowd, many second and third generation, tough critics. The bar and waitstaff were excellent. Though we did not have enough guests for a private room they were able to accomodate us in a back room. We didn't even notice the remaining few tables and the people eating, and believe me, they didn't mind, it was free entertainment to go with dinner. The food was excellent. The lasagna was stacked, the veal plentiful, and the chicken mouth watering. The sauces were perfect. Nothing precooked as we gave them the order inside of 24 hrs. Everything pounded to perfection and it was picture perfect. The timing on everything was impecable! The bread and wine were outstanding. Afterwords we all piled into the piano bar and literally took over. It was GREAT!!!!!!! So much fun. We all felt so welcomed and I'm sure I as well as others will return. Don't be afraid to plan an event here, just make sure u speak with Scott and only Scott!

My boyfriend and I kicked off our Valentine's Day extravaganza weekend with this restaurant. First off, I love the presentation and atmosphere. I am a sucker for a dark and romantic ambience, the music was wonderful, and it smelled of delicious italian food (of course, why wouldn't it?). This has been the most expensive restaurant that my boyfriend and I have been to, I am quite the food critic, and for a 21 and 23 year old, we have been blessed to be able to go around to excellent restaurants. I noticed a comment about the calamari being too chewy, but our batch came out hot, fresh, and authentically delicious!! I have a Veal porterhouse special, to die for, that came with sauteed portabello mushrooms and red onions on top of it. I had it with fettuccine alfredo (mmmm delicious), My boyfriend had some kind of melange of italian sausage,bell peppers, red onions, and marinara sauce along with the fettuccine. All in All I loved it!! (THE ONLY THING was that there "seemed" to be so many 'mobbish or tough' looking italians or italian-americans there. I don't know why, but my boyfriend and I joked about being shot like in the Godfather the whole time. We were probably just being silly!) ref: 2052

As an oxygen user I was shocked to see signs at the front deck announcing that smoking is permitted anywhere in the restaurant. Had we not been with a large group my husband and I would have left. None in our group smoked and we were all wondering why any restaurant in this day and age would have such a policy! There were plenty of dining rooms so it seemed inexcusable to not have more consideration for customers desires. Also, there was even a machine, ugly and out of place, sitting in this elegant restaurant lobby and selling tobacco products. What kind of a statement are they trying to make? The service was excellent and the food was fine but we will never return to Rossi's. ref: 1759
