My wife and I had a wonderful time and meal. We have been coming to Girasole for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. The wait staff is attentive and friendly. My wife had the veal shank and I had my usual, the bronzino baked in sea salt. Both our meals were delicious. Our server was especially friendly.

Had a great experience and the food VERY good! Drinks were also delicious. Try the double chocolate espresso martini! Only complaint is that it took a while. The restaurant was not busy and we were a table of 4. There are pros and cons of that... we were not rushed at all but spent every bit of 2 hours there for dinner. So just plan ahead and give yourself time if you have plans in AC afterward!

What a fabulous dinner. Thank you Michelle for taking care of us. Some of our delicious plates included the Pasta Fagioli Soup, the Melanzane Zucchini appetizer and the Rigatoni with braciole, sausage and the most delicious meatball you have ever eaten. Our only regret...no room for dessert. Next time, we'll order that first.

It has been years since dining at Girasole. As locals, we frequent our favorite restaurants in the area and I'm so angry that I forgot about this one. Let's just say...it has been added to our favs list after tonights dining experience. The service was genuine, efficient and professional. The food, TOP NOTCH! Some authentic Italian cooking goes down in this kitchen! From the bread, the carpaccio girasole, ravioli Verdi, the Bianca pizza & spaghetti nero... 10/10. No bs. After dinner I had the virgin version of their espresso martini with vanilla gelato. DELICIOUS! The ambiance was warm and cozy & like I said if not for anything else... you need to come try this food. Well be back soon. Thank you!
Girasole is always a wonderful experience. My husband and I love dining here the ambiance is so welcoming and comfortable and the food is outstanding. Also the staff is very accommodating and you feel like you're with family!

Just came back from dinner here. Everything about it was wonderful: the setting, ambiance, menu choices, service, wine, apps, and entrees. The only thing that knocked it off of a 5 star rating? We were shocked by the portion size of the pasta trio sharing plates. Each portion of each of the three pastas was not even a half portion...only three or four forkfuls, at most, each. Not worth 58 USD. We would have been better off ordering two regular plates at 22-28 each, and sharing those. The pastas themselves were delicious, however! And, the carpaccio Girasole was the best carpaccio I have ever tasted.

Allow me to preface — I'm not easy to please. The food was excellent, well prepared, presented, and executed. Interior design almost hit its mark. The fabrics were sumptuous but not all spoke perfectly together. It's a nuanced thing. It is very loud so perhaps some additional sound baffles on the ceiling would help. Pet peeve that was excruciatingly irritating: The servers' striped jackets were objectionable on 2 levels: the fit was abhorrent and the print is reminiscent of German prison uniforms.

Grilled octopus: ExcellentCarpaccio Classico: ExcellentCeasar Salad:ExcellentChittara: average but goodOssobuco: Enormous portion, very good.The style of the restaurant gave me an Egyptian feel along with the Italian touches.They have a glass room decorated all Versace!! Amazing to look at
Really cute place. We sat in the back near the pizza oven. The burrata appetizer was great. We shared the risotto tartufato and gnocchi con burrata. Both were delicious, the risotto had a strong flavor profile. I'm assuming the gnocchi was made with burrata because there was no sign of it in the dish.

Really cute place, we sat toward the back of the restaurant near the pizza oven and it was nice back there. The burrata appetizer was great, we shared the risotto tartufato and the gnocchi con burratta. The risotto had a very strong flavor profile, it was delicious! I'm not sure where the buratta was in the gnocchi, maybe it's mixed in when they make them because there certainly wasn't any visible in the dish.

Wonderful experience for dinner with my husband, the classic carpaccio was my favorite and we did the pasta trip, smaller portions than expected but still delicious. Great service and nice ambiance. Will come back ???
