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.

Food is good, service was decent but pricey for what you get. A price of $16.50 for spagetti and tomato sauce (not meat) is just a little over the top IMO. I doubt I'd return. ref: 11363

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

This is one of the best Italian restaurants on the Grand Strand. I'm not a huge Italian food fan, but my wife is. We ate here and I was impressed with their filet mignon. It was cooked perfectly. The owner here clearly takes a lot of pride into this outfit. Very professional, clean, upscale, and classy. Whether you're taking a date or you're like me and it's your family of four, this is a great atmosphere. Very good dining experience. ref: 5570

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

I have travel to Myrtle Beach for the passed 15 years and stayed at the Kingston Plantation, however the highlight of my vacation is having dinner at Rossi's. Rossi's staff and owners make you feel at home! They are so professional at the same time they make you feel special! I will always reccomend Rossi's as the "Best" in Myrtle Beach.

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!

Great looking Italian restaurant. Excellent waiter (Jeff). I didn't complain about the food, but it was not close to the food I had heard so much about from Rossi's. My wife got the lasagna. It was dry and tasteless. I got the grilled tuna feature. It was overcooked and the scalops didn't taste fresh at all. I am not one to complain to a hard working wait staff so I just won't be going back. Sorry! ref: 2198

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

I have eaten in many New York City italian retaurants and also in the Little Italy section of Trenton where I now live. I tried the food at Rossi's and can truly say it was the worst Italian food I have ever experienced. I had the lasagna and it tasted like they used sauce from a jar. Homemade lasagna it was not. My wife had the fried calamari and said they were chewy. I would not recommend this place to anyone and would never return. ref: 1946

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

Veal was thick as a filet. Terrible and tough. The side dish of fettucini was cold and dry. $36.00. Most I have ever paid for an entree.
