This is hands down the best Italian restaurant in Myrtle Beach! From the greeting all the way to dessert you feel like you've wandered into Little Italy. The servers have been consistantly knowledgable, the wine selection is awesome, and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I highly recommend this over any restaurant chain!

Ciao was by far our best dining experience last week in M.B. Never would have found it. Was recommended by our relator. The parmesaen crusted scallops were cooked to perfection. The veal parm, alfredo fettuccini & house salad that came w the entrees plus the delicious oil basil dipping sauce for your bread were all excellent. Dessert was a chocolate... More

This is a find. It is a quaint little restaurant that serves awesome food. The service is great, friendly and knowledgable. Good wine list. The menu is truly ITALIAN. Everything we had was delicious. We will be back and this time make reservations.

We have been to Ciao half a dozen times and are always delighted with the food. Although they recently enlarged the dining area slightly, it is still small and intimate and is not the place for you if you mind being close to your fellow patrons. We had a reservation and although the place was packed when we arrived we... More

This was a hidden gem! We would have never stopped here if not recommended by someone. We (2 adults; 2 teenagers) were seated in a cozy booth. They brought us water and bread with a yummy oil, basil dipping sauce right away. Wine prices were reasonable and our waiter was willing to help us pick a wine. We ordered the... More

This is the place where all the locals eat. If you want an awesome sea food pasta, this is your place. The restaurant is tiny and usually packed, but we often get take out and it is so good. If you are in myrtle beach do yourself a favor and eat here.

I used Yelp to find. The reviews were dead on! We arrived around 4pm, good thing because it filled up quickly. Small and intimate. not best place for children that do not like to dine. We tried the feature appetizer: sausage and broccoli robe ravioli with Demi sauce...yummy! The mascarpone dessert to die for! Highlight of trip! Worth the drive.

Ciao is a gem. Recommended by a waiter at another restaurant as a favorite of the locals. Glad he did as it wouldn't have come across our radar as a tourist. It's in a strip shopping centre and doesn't advertise. Reservations are a great idea as it's a smaller restaurant. All but one of the deserts are flowin in from... More

Small and noisy as well as usually crowed but worth it. Excellent food with attentive but not overbearing service. Reservations a must
