Girasole, a hidden gem nestled in Pittsburgh's Shadyside, offers a wonderful dining experience. The owner's warm hospitality and cozy atmosphere create a heartwarming ambiance, enhanced by the live traditional Italian music from a resident guitarist. Customers have mentioned that the live guitar singer adds a fun touch, making parts of the meal memorable. The homemade food, including flavorful marinara and the recommended Sicilian Nero D'Avola wine, are exquisite. The house salad is noted for being fresh and delicious, while the pasta dishes are generally enjoyable. However, some customers feel the meatballs could be larger and have more of a homemade taste.
While the wait for a table can be long—sometimes about 40 minutes for a group—the friendly and attentive servers make the experience worthwhile. Some have described the environment as loud and crowded, with tables closely packed together, which may be overwhelming for those with sensory issues. Despite this, many appreciate the lively atmosphere and the comfort of seeing every table full, enjoying food and conversation rather than their phones. The restaurant is known for its amazing Italian food, house-made sauces, and decadent desserts. The burrata appetizer with corn is a standout, as well as the potato gnocchi and Pollo. The desserts, especially the chocolate cake, have received high praise. Overall, Girasole is considered a delightful dining destination, well worth the visit for those seeking a memorable Italian experience.
