My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant as we were driving from South Tyrol to Munich on…read morevacation. It was a very busy Friday night. We were grateful they didn't turn us away as we didn't have a reservation. They really were too busy to accept our business, but they seated us anyway. Our server was one of only two guys waiting tables for the entire restaurant. It took quite awhile for him to notice us, but once he did, he hustled! Everything we needed, he came through on delivering quickly. I honestly don't know how he did it, the poor guy was overworked! Our food was excellent and came out fairly quickly. The restaurant has an inviting, rustic, charm and diners seemed to stay long and linger for hours. This was one of the better restaurants we enjoyed during our two weeks in Munich and South Tyrol.

We got there pretty late in the evening (9:30/10pm) and there were only a few other tables seated, and I am pretty sure they were preparing to wrap up the night. We ordered the Diavola pizza, which was pretty decent. But my pasta was incredible. I can't recall the name, but it was close to Pasta Alla Norma with eggplant. The service was prompt and the staff were very polite. Thank you for entertaining me practicing my broken Italian.

Ourhotel was near the airport, and there wasn't a lot of restaurants in the area, we decided to try IL GIRASOLE because it was just a 7-minute walk from our hotel. What a disappointment! Service was terrible (they served us bread and forgot to give us the olive oil & grated parm cheese - we had to ask them for it when they brought our main course at the table. Terrible ambiance, the waiters were constantly yelling at each other and the food was not worth the price. I wouldn't recommend this place even for drinks!

The beef and chicken are very tasty, and they don't skimp on the portions. Moreover, the bread is always warm and soft, and the ingredients are fresh and chilled. Skip McDs and try this for a better quality, quick bite to eat! Cheers! RS
