We originally planned to try another highly rated Italian restaurant in the area, but after reading more detailed reviews, it seemed overpriced with inconsistent quality and smaller portions--more suited for a date night than a family meal where value matters. Based on my brother-in-law's recommendation, we decided to try this place instead, and I'm glad we did. From the start, the experience stood out. The food quality was excellent, and the portions were surprisingly generous--something you don't often find at Italian restaurants. They also offer complimentary bread with a choice of soup or salad, which is becoming increasingly rare. Even more impressive, these weren't afterthoughts. The bread was perfectly crusty and served with a flavorful olive oil infused with tomato and garlic. Both the salad and chicken soup were fresh and well-prepared. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. I had the chicken Sorrento with prosciutto and mushrooms over pasta, and it was outstanding--well-balanced, flavorful, and cooked just right. The restaurant itself is clean and nicely designed, creating a comfortable atmosphere without feeling overly formal. Service was quick, and our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout. I don't often give five-star reviews, but this place truly earned it. It delivers on both quality and value, which is a combination that's hard to find. read more

Location is on busy Highway 17 N. Parking is adequate for the restaurant of this size. When inside, the restaurant is darkly lit, with candle light. Numerous tables and booths available for seating, as well as the bar. And outside dining is also an option. Prices & portions seem reasonable. This place appears to get quite busy and also looks to have many regulars. Family-owned- European and Northern Italian influence. We came on a Saturday night, shorty before close, so we were able to get two seats at the bar. Our bartender was extremely attentive throughout our visit. Complementary bread is provided. Comes with a nice oil and garlic blend. Ordered the Bucatini Puttanesca & Spaghetti with Italian Sausage. These come with a dinner salad or up grade to a Caesar for $2 more (which I did). Both salads were fresh and delicious. I will say one of the best caesar dressings I've had. The pasta, presentation was lovely. The flavors bland, tomato sauce (tastes straight from the can) had no additional spices present and the pasta way over cooked. Seems their noodles are pre-cooked and Al Dente then is just not possible. This is another reason why the rating was just below average. Really disappointing. Would not be a place we would revisit. read more

My best friend treated me to dinner for my birthday. I felt badly that she spent so much money and got so little in return. The calamari was no where as plentiful as in the past, the salad was alot of lettuce, a piece of cucumber cut up and a piece or two of tomato. We left it. Entree was tasty, but again, not plentiful. Our martinis tasted like there was no alcohol in them. We used to go there often, but will never go back. Bye bye Villa Tuscana, hello Crave . read more

Husband and I ate at the bar and the service was quick and efficient. We enjoyed the complimentary bread and shared the shrimp Florentine appetizer, four large fresh shrimp wrapped in prosciutto in oil; this is the highlight of the meal and I would get again. Salads were appropriately timed after our appetizer. Caesar was well dressed and delicious but I was disappointed there were no croutons. Husband was extremely pleased with the house made Italian dressing. The entrees were timed perfectly and served very hot. The meals themselves were a disappointment- I had a bland veal parm, which was slightly improved with "shaker" cheese and salt. Husband's clams over a very overcooked and starchy pasta - it seems they must pre-cook the pasta and leave it soaking in the water. Will be choosing other Italian options before heading back. read more

Carolina is the best waitress. Amazing food and the best bread in town. The ambience is dim and romantic. The sweet tea was great and definitely recommend. +Great music read more

The portions are huge, and prices are very reasonable, which is probably why the restaurant was hopping. This is a large place, with very comfortable booths. Service was very good. We started with the Fried Calamari which was Lightly Breaded and Fried with a side of somewhat Spicy Marinara Sauce. The sauce was good, but the Calamari was a bit tough. The wife had Linguini With Clams Sauce. The Clams were a bit overcooked and tough. The wife also did not enjoy the clam sauce which was very bitter. The wife also ordered a side of meatballs, which she loved. The meatballs were large and the sauce was excellent. This made her wish she had gotten the spaghetti and meatballs, which are probably fantastic. I ordered and enjoyed the Zuppa Di Pesce. This was a massive (and I mean massive) plate (no service platter), of Shrimp, Sea Scallops, Calamari, PEI Mussels, Little Neck Clams, sauteed in a Fra Diavolo sauce, all served over linguini. The sauce was good and spicy, but if I had to do it again, I would get it Marinara. I also got a side of Italian Sausage, which I had to take home and eat the next day, because as stated above, my Zuppa Di Pesce was so massive. The side dish contained 2 good size sausages in Marinara sauce which were excellent and made for a great. I would defiantly order them again. read more

Fabulous food, wonderful staff, also a great ambiance for a celebration or just a fantastic meal!!

We arrived early for our anniversary for happy hour which is restricted to the bar area. Promptly at 4 o'clock the doors opened and the bar quickly filled. A very nice happy hour menu with great food and drink options. It seemed everyone knew each other, a very friendly atmosphere. Everything was excellent and the staff were extremely friendly. Thanks to the staff, we will be back. read more

I'll give it 4 stars. Absolutely wonderful service by Victoria but our main dishes were just ok. Nothing we both would order again. I had Veal Marsala and my wife had fettuccine Alfredo. I did order a few meatballs as an appetizer and they were good. Our salads were delicious. I had a Ceaser Salad and my wife had a house salad with the Italian dressing which she loved. My wife's favorite was the dipping sauce for the bread. The place was packed yet our appetizer, salads and meals came out very timely. I want to give it another chance. I'd go back read more

My Fiancé had the eggplant rollatini, had ok sauce but the eggplant had an off flavor. My fiancée had this many times in the past at other restaurants but this meal did not taste right. I had The Bucatini Puttanesca and added chicken, the chicken was good but the sauce was not a marinara sauce as advertised and just not that good. The service was good but we expected a much better meal. We took the leftovers home but did not eat them as something was off with the flavor. We had great hopes for this restaurant. read more

Our first visit. Food was really delicious, with all the favorites available. Veal, chicken, pasta, seafood. Generous portions. Reasonable prices. A nice selection of specials. Excellent service. Comfortable seats. Not too dark. The only drawback was the music made conversation difficult--too loud. Will definitely return & ask for seats away from the speakers. read more

Went out with wife, son and in-laws for in-laws anniversary. Staff very friendly and polite. The place was a bit noisy and it was pretty crowded at 7pm on a Tuesday. Good selection of wine and good bar drinks. Sadly that's where it turns negative. To start with appetizers we were told the fried calamari appetizer could feed 7. Maybe feeds three and the calamari was overcooked :(. Dipping sauce was good however. The main courses didn't fair much better. Only 2 of the 5 dinners were good. Grouper Florentine was undercooked, penne vodka was very very dry, chicken parm was overcooked and tasteless. Lobster ravioli was very good as was the fettuccini Alfredo. We didn't stick around for dessert because we were so disappointed. read more

We were warmly greeted when we came in and seated at a fantastic table away from everyone else. The mozzarella sticks were fantastic as was the bread and salad with home made Italian dressing. We ordered lasagna and chicken parm as our mains. Really the only thing we didn't like was the sauce. It tasted straight out of the can (the kind of tomato sauce you get canned in the store). The sauce was not very flavorful. read more

It was excellent in every way. Our party of 4 were seated promptly & our server really paid attention to our requests although it was the very busy dinner hour. read more

Came here to eat dinner around 6. Had a reservation. Place was absolutely packed. The demographic was mostly older folks. I'm no spring chicken but I had 20 years on most folks this night. The service was solid from beginning to end. The bread was good and hot. The dipping oil was also good but had some weird red peppers in it. Not my thing. Give me the standard. The dinner salad was tiny, so small, it was underwhelming. Wife got the chicken parm which was two chicken breasts with spaghetti. It was excellent. I got the chicken marsala which was also two chicken breasts with penne. The marsala lacked flavor, was very bland, and while plentiful, didn't taste nearly as good as it looked. It wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't anything I would order again. Ordered tiramisu for dessert to go, son liked it, but it was very small. A lot to like about Villa, but not perfect. Solid Italian joint with a few flaws. read more

My husband, 3 teenagers and I were visiting from Cleveland, Ohio and stopped here for dinner. Wow! So amazing! The bread with the dipping sauce was super tasty. We all loved our entrees, especially the linguine with clams. Our server, Colleen, was attentive and sweet. The atmosphere was cozy and felt like a fancy restaurant but casual enough that my boy felt comfortable in shorts. The prices were very reasonable. 100% recommend! read more

so I took my bestie out to dinner Saturday night at Villa Tuscanna. Worst experience ever there. Calamari not as plentiful as before.. our four drinks tasted like no alcohol whatsoever..dinner was alright.. light on the pasta. Been going there for years.. no more..third time with subpar dining and drinks. read more

This restaurant is 5 Star off the chart. My wife and I moved to the area about 3 years ago from Charlotte. For those of you who do not know Charlotte has the best of the best. We were wondering if we were going to find a really good restaurant here in Myrtle Beach area. We have done the best restaurants all over this country, Europe, and Caribbean so we are kind of picky. We have found Villa Toscana to be right there on top!! They have great specials and they are very consistent. The service is also top notch from the greeters at the door and then the servers. The other night we had a special sword fish with pasta and unbelievable wine sause. They have great italian dishes and they even do a great steak. We are so glad they are there! They are our "special restaurant" for sure. Chase & Paty Johnson read more

The food and service at Villa Tuscanna were amazing. The bread with infused olive oil is a great starter to the meal. We each enjoyed our entrees. Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly! My only complaint would be that the music is simply too loud. My partner and I had to basically shout to hear each other over the music. read more

Great experience here. After initially asking if we had a reservation and oops, we didn't, having just arrived in town, they found us a table. There were 5 of us and we were seated in a nice area of the restaurant. There was an Elvis impersonator singing which was a hoot - we would have liked to have been closer but we could hear him, but not see him. Our server was attentive and everything was handled in a timely manner for 5 starving ladies. 2 of us got a salmon special with tomato bisque soup. Both were delicious and the portion was large. A bit pricey - I should have guessed since it was the special - I think it was $30. Others got various pasta dishes and a veal marsala. Everyone liked their food. Everyone but 1 got a glass of wine. It was a generous pour and good quality. As a restaurant in a tourist town we were pleasantly surprised. I would recommend. read more

I can't say enough about this Italian restaurant from appetizers to desert Everything was outstanding read more

Service great , food not good carbonara like soup and the red sauce no flavor, not sure why it's so popular. Sorry will not return.

We have been going here for years and it is one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. I compare the food to the food my mother and grandmother used to make which was very authentic Italian. We are here now at least once a week. We love our server whose name is Jennifer and she does an outstanding job. We literally feel like we've been invited over to her home for dinner. I can't say enough. Good about this place. read more

Went there with friends because we heard so much about it. Was a ride from our house but we have tried so many different Italian restaurants in & around the area we wanted to try something new. The food was superb from the fried calamari appetizer to our main course & deserts! Wonderful place with delicious food. read more

Coastline Glass had a wonderful time celebrating our Christmas Dinner at Villa Tuscana. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish, and the atmosphere was perfect for our holiday gathering. We were a large party of 14, and everything ran smoothly with exceptional service throughout the evening. A special thank you to our servers, Leanne and Nick, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of--they were attentive, friendly, and truly helped make the night memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and look forward to dining here again. read more

Went back a year later, but still in the off season. We reserved a table for two and I'm glad we did. The place was packed. The bar was as full as the parking lot. Extra packing was found just next door. We ordered the specials recommended by our waitress, Julia The fresh baked bread was delicious. Our main courses arrived in a timely manner. The overall cost is slightly higher than other restaurants in North Myrtle Beach, but 'worth it'. I still highly recommend this hidden gem! read more

We came down from Leland to celebrate our 54 th Wedding Anniiversary along with another couple. We were disappointed being charged $2 for 2 small olives.in my martini. They weren't large and stuffed with blue cheese. We were lucky enough to travel a good portion of the world, and were never charged for small olives. Also the server should share the cost of specials. The rest of your menu has a price on it. The specials are not free. Charging for those olives was very small time. Also the chicken should have been pounded flat when making chicken the chicken piccata. Very disappointed, Mr and Mrs Connelly 910-769-3061 read more

We were here again tonight where I got the PenneAlaVodka. and added chicken it was delicious and had a nice after taste spice to it.

Villa Tuscanna - Italian Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We arrived pretty late on Friday evening and the servers were very nice and accommodating! We tried to order as quickly as possible and they weren't rude or pushy at all. The server (I don't recall her name) was helpful with recommendations on the menu and the food was delicious. I tried the mushroom ravioli (almost got the manicotti but the server persuaded me to get the mushroom ravioli instead). It came a Gorgonzola cream sauce which was not overwhelmingly flavored of Gorgonzola. I really enjoyed the dish and the sun dried tomatoes were a nice touch. I think our favorite part of the whole meal however was the bread and dipping oil. The oil was AMAZING - might've been the best I've ever had. great flavor and adding the Parmesan cheese was a good touch. Would definitely return :) the restaurant was nice but not too stuffy. read more

Quite noisy at 7:00 pm My wife had linguini with claims and it was excellent. I made the mistake of ordering the Eggplant Parmigiana. The main ingrediant was very thinly sliced previously frozen from a distributor eggplant. Not only tough but vapid tasting. Tomato sauce was very good. For a restaurant of this quality to serve distributor bought frozen eggplant is a major negative read more

Been there many times. Service is exceptional as is all the food! Highly recommend! Ambiance is very nice too. Reservations are a must.
