An Italian restaurant in Little River that has been closed for a year has plans to reopen.

Chianti South, located at 2109 Highway 17, is in the process of being spruced up inside and out for a re-opening in the coming months.

The restaurant closed in 2024, after a development company bought the property and was no longer interested in continuing to run the restaurant there, The Sun News previously reported. The restaurant opened originally in 1997.

Crews working on the restaurant have confirmed that it will re-open, and that parts of the building from the roof to the interior are being worked on. The improvement process is expected to last at least a few more months before the restaurant’s doors are open to customers again, those involved with the project said.

The company working on the re-opening project declined to comment with more information until it is closer to the restaurant’s opening date.
