    Super busy at 6:15 on Friday night but by 7:30 it was quiet. Still, we got great service and the food, as always, , was really good. My husband loves the Alfredo - says it is one of the best he's ever had.

    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.
