Cute little restaurant with friendly staff. Appetizers are pretty delicious. Really enjoyed the bruschetta, fresh mozzarella, and whatever the dish with different kinds of mushrooms was. That was so good. Entrees were not bad. The veal is a little chewy but in general was good.
Now for my standard comments. The location is clean and well kept. Comfortable indoor seating. They have their own small parking lot.

We had a wonderful dinner, served by the amazing Aldo tonight. The specials included arancini and swordfish. The tiramisu, made by the owner’s mother, was traditionally delicious! The lava cake was decadent and the cannoli were freshly filled.The atmosphere is friendly, the service is extremely attentive and the prices were very reasonable! Highly recommended!

Girasole is as good as it gets, especially in Bound Brook! This place is an absolute gem and my go-to for authentic Italian. It’s the definition of an ‘old reliable’—you just know you’re going to have a fantastic meal every single time you walk through the door.
What really sets them apart is how they treat their guests. They make you feel like royalty from the moment you arrive, and it’s easy to see why they have such a loyal following. The atmosphere is perfectly intimate, making it just as great for a special celebration or family gathering as it is for a quiet weeknight dinner.
The menu is consistently excellent, and the specials—from the appetizers all the way to the desserts—never miss. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of the best spots in New Jersey. Always a hit!

Outstanding! I hosted my daughter’s baby shower here and the food, service and atmosphere were great. Everyone enjoyed the generous portions and wide range of food. The staff made it easy to transform the dining room into an inviting jungle. I highly recommend Girasole’s for private events. This is my daughter’s favorite place so it was extra special for her to celebrate here. I cannot wait until my granddaughter is old enough to go back!

Our first visit to Girasole was for a recent family gathering, and we were immediately struck by the restaurant’s calming atmosphere. The dim lighting and modern Italian decor created a sophisticated yet relaxed setting. The service throughout the evening was impressively attentive, with the waiters expertly handling our large group of nearly 25 people. We were grateful for the thoughtful arrangement of a single long table that kept our party together. Warm bread was served promptly, a welcome start, though the significant wait for the salads meant we filled up on it a bit more than intended. When the main courses arrived, they were generally good. My chicken parm, while a generous portion, was a little thicker than I prefer, and I found the sauce to be somewhat understated. In contrast, the family-style pasta served to the table was a highlight, offering more satisfying flavors. The meal concluded with a delightful variety of desserts, a lovely way to end our first experience at Girasol. Overall, it was a positive and enjoyable visit.

We used Girasole for our rehearsal dinner on 01-15-2026. They were very easy to communicate with leading up to our rehearsal dinner. Everything was set out as planned. The space they gave us to use was semi-private, cozy, and beautiful. The service was awesome. The workers constantly checked in with guests and ensured we were happy. The food was out of this world! They gave so much food, and it was high quality. No one left hungry and there was something for everyone. We appreciated that it is also BYOB. We would definitely use them again to host an event, and also dine there for dinner. Best Italian BYOB and great for a rehearsal dinner!

My family & I come here for all of our birthday dinners and I cannot say enough good things about the staff, food & atmosphere! Girasole stands out from other spots for its consistency- I’ve been here 20+ times and each dinner has been excellent. The staff is some of the kindest & most attentive out there, too – highly recommend.

I came here with my family for my birthday on a recommendation from a dear friend.
I made a reservation which I highly recommend, this place gets very busy , especially on weekends.
Girasole is a BYOB! Glasses and an ice bucket are supplied. My waiter Pino kept pouring our wine.
This Is not a big place, but every table has white linen tablecloths on them which adds to its charm and ambience.
I had a fabulous waiter named Pino. My runner was Freddy. I never had to ask for my water to be refilled, or a pour of my wine. The service was spot on. Pino is a very good waiter. He let us know all about the specials, and made recommendations. Whenever we needed something Pino or Freddy was very attentive.
On our table we had fresh HOT BREAD( I mean hot which was nice for a change) with OLIVE OIL DIP. Then we were given BRUSCHETTA. Next came a HOUSE SALAD which was simply dressed but good.
For appetizer I chose their FRIED CALAMARI. It was cooked perfectly and very tasty.
Next came a HOUSE SALAD- it was simply dressed and fresh.
I chose FRUTTI DI MARE-linguine with shrimp, scallops, clams, & mussels, in a tomato basil brodetto for my entree. Every bite was wonderful. I took home my leftovers and had it for lunch the next day.
My daughter chose RAVIOLI RIPIENI CON FUNGHI-handmade porcini mushroom-filled ravioli with leeks & pancetta in a roasted garlic & rosemary sauce, finished with a touch of cream. My daughter ate every bite, which is so unusual, but she really enjoyed her meal.
My boyfriend decided on their VITELLO ISABELLA-pistachio nut crusted scaloppine of veal served with a shiitake mushroom, brandy, & herb sauce. He also cleaned his plate. Girasole’s portions are decent.
For dessert my boyfriend and I both chose Crème Brûlée. Mine was served with a candle and everyone sang Happy Birthday to me which was so nice. My daughter had Tiramisu and it too was delicious. To go along with my dessert I also ordered CAPPUCCINO which hit the spot.
I really enjoyed my birthday dinner here, and I will definitely be returning.
