I had ordered the gnocchi and to this day, I salivate when I think about it. It was thick, saucy, cheesy, seasoned, and delicious. Their wine list is seasonal and equally as delicious! I had tiramisu for dessert and I am usually not a fan because I cant get over the wet-cake texture of it. Girasole's tiramisu was much more massed and dense. If you're into that, I definitely recommend it. \n\nThe atmosphere is cozy to put it nicely. Unless you're renting the entire place out for the night, I don't suggest going with a group. It has very NYC bistro feel to it. The owners are amazing - I'm probably bias because they remind me of everyone of my Italian cousins and uncles. \n\nIf you can fit it in before this summer flies by even more, try and sit outside and enjoy the weather. You almost forget you're in a city full of sports loving Yinzers and instead are sitting at a side street caf\u00E9 in Italia! \n\nDon't forget to do a limoncello shot!"^^ .
