In English, the Italian word "girasole" translates as "sunflower," but, here, it's also the owners' surname. But diners know the word best describes the ambience of a tiny, casual restaurant with a big sunny heart. Occupying barely 800… Read Full Editorial
My Review by jonw1590586055 via Citysearch on 8/26/2012
I have been an unsatisfied customer for years, but bit my tongue until my experience there last night. The host of the restaurant, the chef's father, yelled at my mother who has been a consistent customer, along with my father, for 20…
No negatives for us by Valac via Citysearch on 5/1/2011
Our family isn't able to get together much now since we are all juggling jobs, living in other states and just normal time constraints. The youngest family member was graduating from Pitt, and we all made an effort to meet for dinner to…
Quirky, but delicious by pghfamily via Citysearch on 3/30/2011
This is one of our favorite regular spots. We do try to steer clear of the busiest times - Girasole's only has 42 tables, and is popular, so waits can be long on Fri or Sat night. And Mr. Girasole is quirky, but the food is consistently…
Ignore the Bad Reviews- this place is great!!! by elfay via Citysearch on 3/14/2011
After seeing some of these negative reviews, I had to write one of my own. I've eaten here numorous times and always had a wonderful experience. The food is amazing, the atmosphere fantastic and the waitstaff, attentive. It feels like you…
Don't go to Girasole, worst owner in pittsburgh by Pitt64 via Citysearch on 2/22/2011
Like the others , we made reservations, but they don't care about reservations (they don't tell anythings about this).
After he was more than rude with us, yelling....
PLEASE DON'T GIVE 1 $ to this JERK.
Are you KIDDING ME? Run away, run quickly by jaxn3408 via Citysearch on 1/31/2011
This place is a farse. \r
-They say they take reservations, they do not-or they don't honor them which is the same thing. The owner is a class A jerk. There is no rhyme or reason to how he seats anyone.He is flush with patrons because of…
You have to try it. by Glen G via Insider Pages on 11/4/2010
Girasole is easy to pass by, but it may be Shadyside's best casual dining .Their food is consistently excellent and their wine list is great. It seems that other Italian food lovers are finding this place because the past two times that I…
Great food by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 10/7/2010
This is not a fancy place and can be loud but the food is awesome!! Great pasta dishes and very fresh salads. Tables are too close to each other but still love it here
We won't go back by BeebG via Citysearch on 4/11/2010
We made reservations , arrived on time, and then were told we had to wait 45 minutes indicating they wouldn't honor the reservation they had accepted (two weeks earlier). Apparently they do not take reservations, but do not tell you on…
Not Welcoming at ALL by beeB via Citysearch on 3/23/2010
I have been to Girasole twice and have only eaten there once - the reason is as follows:\r

The first time my husband and I went to Girasole was right after we moved to Pittsburgh. I had read reviews that said it got crowded and loud…
HORRIBLE! by collingail10 via Citysearch on 3/9/2010
I have spoke with quite a few people, INCLUDING MYSELF,who have told me that they called to make reservations, were told they had the reservation and then showed up and told they NEVER had a reservation. Not only that but the owner is…
Tight squeeze, but SO GOOD! by momar930 via Menuism on 1/25/2010
This place is small. Not even just small--tiny. And a tad claustrophobic when full. But, all that was...
I love this place! by kdngirl via Citysearch on 1/11/2010
Girasole is a cozy little restaurant in Shadyside, that I love! I LOVE the setting. It's in the lower level, across from Starbucks.
The salad you get with your dinner is amazing. I love the escarole and beans too.
Girasole is a…

Girasole was a great trip. We got the true family experience with the son yelling "MA!!" at his mother. It...
Cozy or Cramped by Nase via Menuism on 12/14/2009
Some may call it cozy and others may call it cramped, but the close seating arrangements at Girasole are...
Girasole Restaurant is a great little place by Ryan N via Insider Pages on 9/10/2009
Giarsole has great Italian food, but if you don't like "cozy" restaurants it may not be for you. It is fairly priced, and it is obvious that most patrons are regulars.
Great for any meal by Joanna S via Insider Pages on 9/8/2009
Girasole is a great place to grab a nice brunch, lunch or low key dinner. The food is always very unique and tasty. If you go in the fall, try the pumpkin ravioli!
A Secret Treasure by kmb246 via Menuism on 7/13/2009
There are no words to describe the delightful treat that is a dinner at Girasole. The atmosphere is...
Over Rated by OTJ via Citysearch on 5/17/2009
Don't bother. I heard a lot about the food and was looking forward to a nice meal and evening. However, that didn?t happen. It?s hard for me to understand how people rated this place so highly? The restaurant is very small so plan on…
You couldn't pay me to return by Lyndell K via Insider Pages on 6/16/2008
The owner has absolutely no manners. My wife and ate there with some collegues of hers from out of town. At one point after our dessert (tiramisu) had came the owner tapped me on the shoulder and told me "Sir, it's been two hours, I have…
