Girasole is undoubtedly the best Italian restaurant you’ll ever dine at. Their menu offers authentic modern cuisine with innovative dishes crafted daily. Forget about wasting your time and money at places like 2825 or Vola. Girasole is the epitome of authentic Italian cuisine.

The Carpaccio de Branzino (pictured) is a must-try dish that will leave you in awe. It’s an artisan-style creation with an incredible texture and flavor. The octopus (pictured) is exceptionally tender, complemented by wilted arugula and a rich bean purée.

Their homemade pasta, extensive wine list, and world-class service makes Girasole the ultimate dining experience.
Very romantic, great vibe, modern decor, awesome food and wine
Highly recommended

Have eaten here twice. Excellent! Pics are only from 2nd visit. Pizza here is great. The eggplant app we had both times, everyone loves it. My son had a filet that he loved. Cocktails are very good. Cacio de pepe is not on the menu, but they made it for my son’s birthday. Can’t beat that! I really enjoyed teh Spaghettini Neri, I had that both times. Wife loved the carbonara.

Everyone we know that has been here loves it. Maybe we went on an off night for them. Unfortunately, the hostess set the tone. Her displeasure over us not having a reservation on a Tuesday was very evident. There were more tables available than there were occupied when we arrived. There were still several available when we left as well. So, I didn’t quite get the attitude. Honestly, I was ready to walk out with her attitude. I was encouraged to stay since we heard so many good things from others. Luckily, we had a much more pleasant server. We ordered the pasta sampler. It was good. I was surprised that they had a small up-charge for each of the 3 choices. I don’t recall seeing that mentioned on the menu & we weren’t notified that there would be one when we ordered. Not all of our choices had protein. So, not sure what that was about. I just wanted to leave at that point and wasn’t going to prolong things to bother complaining. I’ll say that their weekly classics menu sounds delicious along with the rest of their menu. I just wish we had a better experience. Especially since we were there celebrating a birthday.

I’ve said for 20yrs I want my last meal to be veal parm on the bone from Tremontis in Delray. Well Girasole just changed my last wish!! Fantastic food! Fantastic service!! Great atmosphere!! How I’ve been coming to AC for 30yrs and never even heard of it is very sad. We will become regulars

Girasole has always been one of the best Italian restaurants in the area. We have eaten there a few times years ago, but because they didn’t have parking, it was difficult to patronize. Now that there is FREE PARKING very close, we have been eating there much more frequently. The food and drinks are amazing. The service is fast, polite and professional. The atmosphere is wonderful. It is not inexpensive, but they have a wonderful Happy Hour menu that is very reasonably priced. I highly recommend.

Went for restaurant week and was not disappointed. We had the veal parm, wagyu meatball, fried calamari, spicy rigatoni, and the pistachio and almond gelato. Everything was fantastic and our server, Lazaro I believe was his name, was incredible. Will definitely be recommending and coming back

Solid Italian home cooking at Michelin Guide Prices. Girasole’s prices reflect the generally expensive food scene in Atlantic City and they put their prices accordingly. Not a criticism of them at all, just a reality to keep in mind if you’re going to visit. I would definitely visit again as the food was good and if you’re after something good then you’ll have to pay for it in this City. The ingredients were simple and well executed. There was nothing special about the flavour or any of the dishes we had but it just came the way you want home cooked food to be: no frills & reminding you of Italy. Although the initial service and starters were quick, the other courses came quite slowly. The feeling you get is a family affair, run for the joy of being together and no one is in a rush – we enjoyed our time!

I’ve explained the dishes I had in more below but if I was to come again here is what I’d do differently: I’d get a pizza as a starter – although not wood-fired, it came out looking and smelling great – I’d have a go at one of them. For the rest of the menu, I’d avoid anything that requires a level of technical cooking to bring out flavour. I’d avoid the main menu and just stick to the first course pasta menu. I’d get three or four pasta dishes and stick to a dish that is known for its richness: the rigatoni ragù or the farfalle for sure.

We had the soup of the day: Minestrone Soup – it was light and had a soft melody of vegetables but it was all quite bland, a little more flavour in the broth would have gone a long way.

The Mixed Seafood Pasta, the seafood was slightly over cooked – particularly the prawns – but the pasta had a perfect texture. The sauce could have had a little more richness or depth to its seasoning. I was expecting that classic simple Italian dedication to fresh tomatoes but it just wasn’t there.

Side Dishes: The mushroom dish was surprisingly the best dish of the day. In stark constraint to the poorly chosen tomatoes, the mushrooms were brilliantly selected and full of flavour. We also had the asparagus but it was quite bland and the creamy hollandaise sauce to accompany it lacked any kind of flavour.

To the main dish of the day, the Salt Baked Sea Bass. It was really good. Subtle salt matched with a very good lemon and caper sauce. The dish is more style/theatre than substance (the waiter breaks the salt crust and serves the fillets to you) but it still delivers.

Celebrated my lovely aunt 70’s. Food and service and atmosphere was beyond expectation! The owner was on the floor the entire time making sure everyone was comfortable and happy with the service.

Came in on a week night… Great food and service, with a nice menu. The venue is nicely decorated and actually has some cozy areas to sit as well. Their caprese salad was really nicely done with thick cute, ripe tomatoes and a nice mozzarella. Their calamari was perfectly battered (lightly, as it should be) and lightly fried and definitely wasn’t rubbery nor over-fried like at most places. Veal parmesan was tasty and great! Their red sauce was excellent, with the occasional whole or full slice of garlic in it – loved it!

Service was friendly and helpful too! They have a decent wine list and save room for dessert as their desserts were also very nice!

Great spot in AC for Italian eats!!
