You want to talk about Restaurants, but it's not the commons.
Thought I would mention it since I see so many Jersey and NY transplants on this thread.
This place is new called The Italian Village.
Found it by pot luck last week when looking the UPS terminal.
It is right across the street by the overpass on George Bishop Parkway beside what is the now defunt Hard Rock amusement park. I think they call it Freestyle now.
Stopped in on Saturday evening and had the Penne Con Pollo, WOW!
These guys are not your Southern, hey let's open an Italian restaurant guys but full blown Jersey Boys from Newark with 2 cooks direct from Italy through Jersey, the guy is named Paullow or something like that.
The fella who sits you down and the guy behind the bar are older fellows and down right great to talk to, they have to be pushing 70.
The only negative is the smoking at the bar that reaches the dining area, but man the food is good. Been out of Jersey for almost 8 years now in Atlanta and the SE. The best excuse for good Italian here is Ragu pasted on bread called Pizza
You cannot beat the good old hole in the wall independent owners. I hope they do well cause it sure is off the beaten path for Myrtle Beach.
