Travinia Italian Kitchen

There are hundreds of restaurants on the Grand Strand, all trying to lure you in while you’re on your Myrtle Beach vacation. But one of the best in the area is Travinia.

This authentic Italian eatery uses fresh local seafood and classic cooking techniques to create a one of a kind dining experience that will have you coming back night after night. This local hot spot is one of Myrtle Beach's hidden treasures just waiting for you to discover it.

Refresh yourself after a long day on the beach with one of their signature cocktails, like the dragon berry madras, Bacardi dragon berry rum with cranberry and a splash of orange juice, or the old blue eyes, Van Gogh acai blueberry vodka, simple syrup and fresh blueberries, the perfect fruity ending to a day of fun in the sun. If a cocktail isn't what you're in the mood for try one of their twenty beer offerings or order off of their seemingly endless wine list. Better yet ask your server what drinks they recommend pairing with your meal to ensure you experience the full flavor of your selection.

Start off your meal with an Italian classic like bruschetta or the pan fried calamari. Or try one of Travinia's exclusive creations like the Italian nachos, fried chips layered with Italian sausage, black olives, tomatoes, scallions, banana peppers and an asiago cream sauce, or Don and Norma's veal ravioli, veal stuffed ravioli with ricotta, herbs, mushrooms, spinach and their signature asiago cream sauce. Try these or any other of their unending assortment of starters in servings made for one or for sharing with your date.

For your dinner there is everything from pasta to steak to brick oven pizza, truly something for everyone. The rigatoni with braised short ribs in bolognese sauce is a creamy blend of fresh pasta with a melt in your mouth cut of meat. Or sample one of the house favorites, the Sinatra chicken, pan seared chicken tenderloins topped with smoked pancetta, mozzarella cheese and a light semi-sweet Grand Marnier cream sauce with capellini. For a unique twist on the local seafood dive in to the seafood stuffed shells, lump crab, grilled salmon, and shrimp with ricotta and a lemon dill cream sauce, truly delectable!
