    Pasta with truffle black pepper and pecorino cheese
    Wendy H.

    A cozy restaurant near my hotel. The pasta I had was al dente which I'm not a fan of, but I do understand that it's the way Italians cook pasta. However my moms risotto was undercooked and you can't undercook risotto.

    Penne al'arrabiata

    Il Girasole has been an excellent solace from the over-priced, over-sauced Rome we have seen thus far. We visited out of convenience; just off Via Palermo where we are staying is this tiny place, and two nights in a row it has been absolutely full of people. The penne arrabiata was delectable and the pizzas are quite good. Perfectly al dente, friendly staff, decently good house Merlot, I do not hesitate to recommend this local spot. If you want a good meal around a decently lively atmosphere and with some nice, local servers this is a safe bet. While it is not necessarily somewhere to write home about we have had two pleasant meals with reasonable prices and have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

    Really nice people, the food was absolutely great. While we were eating someone came in to play de piano. It was like we had a privat concert. Such a great restaurant, loved it!

    Great service and I had a wonderful peppercorn steak. On a nice quiet roman street. Had a great white wine which really cleansed my pallet.

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

    Great first meal in Rome!…read more I loved my artichoke pasta dish with bacon, it was a daily special. The amaretto dessert was delicious! Carbonara was super al dente. Seafood risotto was fresh. Grilled radicchio was like stir fried. Dinner for 3 for 77 euros, impressively busy for a Tuesday night. Friendly staff, easy for English speakers. :)
