About the restaurant
Due to the intimacy of our Restaurant and to guarantee your dining experience reservations are almost always required all year long.

Please be mindful when booking reservations. If you select "OUTDOOR SEATING" you WILL be dining on our screened in patio. If you select "STANDARD SEATING" you will be at a table inside in one of our dining rooms. Same day changes may not be possible. Requests for bar seating can only be made by calling the restaurant - not through reserving times on Open Table. For same day reservations please call the restaurant after 3:00 for the most up to date availability!

Our Food is Fresh, Our Wines are Old, Our Recipes are Timeless, Our Family is Yours.

Grazie,

About the restaurant
An amazing Italian-American eatery, Casa Calamari is one of the best Italian spots in Surfside Beach, SC. Always ready to treat our guests, Casa Calamari is a must-try restaurant in the Horry County area.
We offer a number of gourmet pizzas, excellent calzones & strombolis, and the authentic flavor bomb that is our pasta. There are so many great Italian choices with us and they're all worth a try. You'll definitely want to come back and have a little bit of everything!
For the healthy eaters out there - a selection of top-notch salads and excellent seafood dishes that are light and filling is always available. We also serve tasty sandwiches and rich main courses for the hungriest! The dessert section is a mix of Italian and classic American favorites that soothe the soul.

Excellent service and the food was delicious. Looks like they’ve done some renovations with their seating which really made our table feel very private. We will definitely be back.

About the restaurant
Spaghetti Westurn is a classic semolina saloon that provides a playful and peculiar twist on homemade pasta. We like to eat. We like to drink. We like sharing what we eat and drink with our friends and loved ones.

Spaghetti Westurn was founded in 2021 in the city of Greenville, S.C.. The concept is the brainchild of Chef and Owner Jason Saunders, formerly of Jianna in Greenville and Wicked Weed Brewing and Table in Asheville, to name a few of the spots where he made his mark. Chef Saunders decided to open his own concept in 2020.

Spaghetti Westurn was conceived of as an eatery and oasis that prizes the beauty of quality, culinary simplicity and generous depths of service in an environment that is comfortable and welcoming for guests and employees alike. We pride ourselves on providing a great place for people to eat and a great place for people to work.

The waiter for our table was delightful and attentive this time and the many times we were lucky to have her as our server in the past. Food was good and all six of us had a lovely dining experience.
