Toffinos - Myrtle Beach

Review is only for the pastries!! HANDS DOWN THE BESTTTT. We got the chocolate mousse roll, strawberry cake and key lime pie! ALL WERE EXCEPTIONAL That is all..

Toffino's comes highly recommended, but I am a NY Italian with very high standards and a family that comes right from the Motherland as John Pinette used to say. First the good... I had a slice of pizza that was pretty good. Nice tang to the sauce, just the right amount of cheese and zero flop with a good crunch. I give the pizza a 7.9, maybe higher if i ordered a whole pie and ate it there. Also ordered some cold cuts to go. Sweet capicola which was appropriately thin and has a good flavor. I did not see the brand but most of what I saw there was Boar's Head. I also ordered one of my favorite meats, the king of sausage, mortadella. Let me say that i typically love Boar's Head but the mortadella is standard cold cut size, maybe five of six inches wide instead of the traditional size of 16 inches across. The color was also a touch darker than what we would see from a real mortadella. Now, Toffino claims to be the real deal so I asked the woman behind the counter why they would skimp in something so important and she said, don't as me I just work here. Well maybe the dessert will save them... two classics, Sfogliatella and Pasticciotto with a pastry crème filling. They were both better than fair but fell short of being spectacular. The pasticciotto's filling was too dense, not bad but it should be a bit lighter and sweeter. The sfogliatella was better but the shell was a bit tough. I have had worse, far worse. Toffino's is a bit a drive for me to get to and based on my first experience, I think it will be a while before I go back. The search continues.

Not what I call an Italian pastry! Very disappointing filling in my Lobster tail. Don't know what so many people are crazy about? Guess when you use to Auther Ave Italian is never the same!

We love their pizzas. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is in a great location. It's clean and has great pastries.

Every time we visit the area, Toffino's is a must! Excellent food! It's always packed, so going early is a good idea. They have sandwiches, pizzas, pasta, and a bakery with homemade desserts that will make you bust your diet enjoy every minute of it.
