"Benny Rappa is our favorite spot for Italian in North Myrtle Beach. The food is always fresh and tasty. Great service as well. Be sure to get a reservation or you will have to wait to be seated."

"This was our third visit to Benny Rappa's . First two times were great - now - too expensive - service was rushed - they seemed to really want to turn the table. Not a fun experience - food - ok - everything was just rushed with no TLC"

"Fabulous Italian fare with offerings changed daily based on the freshest ingredients found by the chef! Back lit menus and check receipts a fun little touch. Great staff make for a family atmosphere and delicious food....and if you don't see what you want on the menu the chef is glad to make if the ingredients are available in the kitchen. Lovely to find a locally owned restaurant in a busy tourist area so be sure to try it and reservations are accepted. Open for lunch most days as well as dinner."
