    Always great! Our server was Lilly and she was very attentive, knew the specials, served us our wine and checked on us regularly. Ciao's is our favorite Italian place in Myrtle Beach having been going there for many years. Their menu has changed and some of our favorites have disappeared such as the beef Carpaccio, which we miss, Perhaps this will return in the future? We will always return to this treasure of a restaurant.

    Consistently excellent food and service from Fabio. We keep going back and will continue to do so. We would recommend this to anyone. The only issue is parking is difficult to find.

    We made a reservation and we were seated immediately upon arrival. The waitress was very attentive, nice and gave good recommendations. The food was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend, but would also recommend reservations because it is a busy place.

    Great food and service! We enjoyed our meal and will definitely return again. The spinach walnut ravioli was delicious. My husband had a halibut special and scallop appetizer special that just melted in your mouth. The cookie butter banana crème pie was a winner. Hands down one of the best Italian meals we have had!
