   Wait staff is efficient and friendly and professional. Food is delicious. Proportions are smallish for the price. Seating is too tight. No privacy-it was like eating with the table next to us!

   We were in town for vacation and found this place, we made our reservation through open table and it worked perfectly. It was definitely an enjoyable experience and a great meal in a sea of tourist traps! Would definitely recommend!

   We came back to our Myrtle Beach condo to celebrate our 48th wedding anniversary and we always make it a point to dine at Ciao whenever we’re in town. We discovered Ciao over 12 years ago and, though it has grown in size, the quality of their dining experience has grown even better with time. Shawn, our waiter, was personable and very helpful. The halibut special was wonderful and the Exotic Bomba dessert is one of our favorite desserts anywhere. Unlike our Charleston area dining, you don’t pay an exorbitant amount of money for a small amount of food. The prices are reasonable, considering the delicious offerings and the portions were bountiful enough that we had to take home boxes of leftovers to enjoy the next day. We will keep coming back to Ciao whenever we’re in Myrtle Beach.

   We love going to the Italian restaurant. Food is good. Service is even better noise level with a little high tonight. That’s not the norm. We go there every time. We’re here at the beach. Tim is my favorite waiter. If he’s not available, I asked for Alexa — they both take care of us and the food is delicious.

   Our polenta and shrimp appetizer was delicious. My wife ordered ravioli with spinach and walnuts. She enjoyed this dish very much. I ordered spaghetti with one meatball and one sausage. My pasta was over cooked and very soft. The meatball was tender without being eggy. My sausage should have been an embarrassment to whoever served it. I couldn’t even cut it. It must have spent a long time in a warming oven. Although there were pluses to the meal, I would not recommend this restaurant because anyone plating that sausage should have been embarrassed.

   The best chicken piccata I have ever had. Sean, our server, was terrific. This was our first time there and it happened to be my birthday. What a great place! They take reservations and I recommend making one. It was a Monday night, not in season, and the place was packed.
