This place is amazing. Authentic Italian in the heart of Myrtle Beach. Our Waitress Giuliana was amazing. I would recommend reservations, as even in the early evening in the off season, was rather crowded. The food was by far the best Italian in Myrtle. I wish I had remembered to take Photos of of the food before we dug in, but it smelled too good!

I am so very happy that we decided to come to Crave to eat. Our entire experience was wonderful. I work in the industry so I can sometimes be critical, but this was outstanding. Sireece our server was fantastic, she was on point knew her stuff and seemed to really enjoy the restaurant and gave us some great suggestions. My husband and I started with the Mussels and garlic cheese bread which was a meal in itself. We decided to each get a meal and split. I got the chicken parmigiana and my husband got the Italian dip. OMG the au ju was OUTSTANDING! They use the French onion soup which lead to my husband getting a cup and he said it was amazing and hot out of the oven. We each got a specialty drink I got the espresso martini and he got the espresso old fashioned which were both delicious. And to finish we had the tiramisu which was delightful. The booths we very nice and the atmosphere was very pleasant. We will absolutely be back and be telling everyone about Crave.

Stuffed shells were so good! Loaded with several cheeses. My husband enjoyed the fettuccine with clams that I brought home. I love salads though and they had them but none I wanted. I prefer lettuce, red onions, olives, croutons, feta etc.. they had a ceaser salad and the house salad was mixed greens and blue cheese with a special dressing- no ranch etc
