  • Girasole is a small Italian restaurant off Walnut Street that serves up decent Italian food. I've only been to Girasole during dinnertime, with my last visit being last night. Most patrons appear to be late 20's/early 30's to older patrons in the late 40's/early 50's as well as some college students here and there. The restaurant itself is pretty cramped and ridiculously loud. Tables are close together and patrons are all basically shouting to talk to each other or awkwardly sitting in silence. I'm a loud guy who's at college and loud noises typically don't bother me, but something about the acoustics of the room... noises just bounce around instead of getting absorbed and the metal tables don't help either. Anyways, on with the food. Their menu is seasonal with slight changes in their pasta throughout the year. Everyday they have a fresh poultry, a fresh fish, and a fresh meat of the day. Their fresh fish was a grilled mako shark, but alas they were out for the night already (we got there before 6:30 PM). All entrees come with a choice of soup or salad. I ended up ordering their house ribeye medium rare along with a cup of their wedding soup. While we waited, we munched on bread from their bread basket. Butter comes with the bread, but they also have balsamic and olive oil at each table too. The wedding soup was pretty good; it wasn't overly salty and there was a reasonably amount of sausage. I picked soup over their salad because my past experience with their salads are that they are swimming in dressing and I don't like my salads soggy. The ribeye came topped with a pesto, diced tomatoes and served with roasted potatoes. It was cooked to medium as opposed to medium rare, but for a steak under $30 bucks I'm not going to make a big deal out of it. The pesto was flavorful but the roasted potatoes were a bit overcooked. The steak itself had a beautiful char and cooked well as a medium steak. I've had their pasta in the past and they're of pretty good quality and cooked perfectly, but the portions have gotten smaller over time and I don't think the $3-5 dollar upcharge from the lunch menu is really worth it for dinner anymore. I would probably recommend Lydia's over Girasole, but it might be worth a shot for lunch when it won't be as loud and there probably wouldn't be a wait either.
