Malibu Of Surfside Italian Restaurant

Great food and service, one of the best meals we've had in a while! First time in today, will definitely be back

Ate there for the first time last night! The drinks , entree and dessert were amazing! I will be back. Best Italian on the grand strand.

Our last night of vacation was also my birthday. The restaurant we were planning on going to is closed for renovations so we needed to find something else in a pinch. We decided to try Malibu. I wish we found this place the first night of vacation. A Friday evening with no reservations, we barely had to wait for a table. The owner came over and chatted for a while and made us feel the only people there. And then there is the food! I haven't had Italian food like this since I lived on Long Island 20 years ago. You could cut the veal with a fork! And the cheesecake was the perfect way to end the night.

I found this absolutely magnificent restaurant walking back from the beach. A small, but charming and romantic fine dining establishment for sure. The food is genuine Italian, seldom found in the south, with a great selection of meat, seafood, pasta with many options including vegan. The wine list is long and diverse. They have gluten free pasta available, and their garlic bread served while waiting is remarkable. The staff well trained, hospitable and professional. Amazing meal and experience. They also have an upstairs for catered events or large parties. I can't say enough wonderful things about it. I will certainly be back and bring others..

Without doubt the best authentic Italian food since leaving NY years ago & eating my Sicilian family's italian food. We had the Sunday Sauce, rich Italian tomato sauce slowcooked full of sausage, meatball, and short rib, cooked tender and to perfection, over al dente penne pasta. Also the baked Eggplant Parm, sliced thin and cooked tender, no skin, topped with their delicious tomato sauce and gooey mozzarella. Highly recommend, our server and the staff were cordial and knowledgable. Don't miss this memorable place!

Vegetarian options: There is a broccoli pasta dish that says it's made with pancetta. I asked for it to be made without and they happily obliged, which I appreciated! The lentil soup they have is vegetarian as well and was quite good. Eggplant parm was very good and always a nice vegetarian option!

My wife and I traveled from Boston on a weeks vacation. A gentleman local to surfside told me Malibu was a must try for dinner and to make a reservation. We made a reservation and were greeted pleasantly by the host who immediately seated us for dinner. The food was impeccable from the warm bread to the side of pasta! We frequent some of the best Italian restaurants in the North End of Boston as well as Federal Hill in Providence. This was the best Italian we have ever enjoyed out! Make a reservation soon and don’t forget to try the homemade cheesecake! You won’t be dissapointed!
