Here's one I always wanted to visit, but it was very far North from my usual Grand Strand stomping grounds, and the one time I made an actual effort to get there, I found it closed (they apparently were always closed on Monday, and some years Monday & Tuesday). When I heard it was to be sold, I thought I would make one more effort, but as is usual, could never remember to do it when I was on the Strand until it was way too late to drive up there. In fact even the day I took these pictures I was there too late for decent light.

The Sun News has the story on the closing though the details were a bit vague at the time, in particular whether it would close in February of 2024 or July was unknown, and I don't see any follow-up story. What I do see has the ironic detail that the parcel was being sold to a development company who did not care to run a restaurant there, except now the plot is being resold again with nothing apparently having come to fruition, so the restaurant might as well have stayed.

The building looks as though it would welcome a little work, but still seems to be completely tabled & equipped. Even the computer is still up, sort of.

  1. This one hurts...a lot. My family and I used to spend vacations at Sunset Beach, just up the road past Little River (and before that accursed causeway was built). I was lucky enough to eat at Chianti South with family a few times. It was real-deal Italian food like somebody's nonna would've made. I believe the owners were from Newburgh, NY which is close to where my dad grew up.

    Excellent food. Excellent experience every time. *Very* sad to see them cal it quits.

  2. Sorry to see this, one of the many original grand strand restaurants to close over the last decade or so. I grew up in NMB and Little River and this was a classic.
