Girasole

"Hosted a company dinner here for the holidays and it was fantastic. Menu was selected prior to the event with just a few options to simplify things, but each option was delicious. I made sure I tried everything and shared =). Service was spot on with timing of food and refilling water. Bring your own alcohol made it convenient for us"

"Such a wonderful experience whenever I go here. It's a great place for an intimate dinner or a nice get together with old friends! I can never resist thr stuffed porkchop when I go there! As well they do great catering for your holiday parties!"

"If only Google would allow more than 5 stars! An absolutely wonderful dining experience today. Staff was absolutely outstanding, Rob Russo- who I learned on the way out the door as he thanked us again, is a proprietor- which quite frankly blew me out of the water! I’ve never seen such a hands-on owner, taking such pride in every aspect of a dining experience before. Food was outrageously delicious, service was impeccable, and everyone we encountered made you feel as though you were out to celebrate a birthday at a fine dining restaurant. Every detail of the meal was coordinated, and I absolutely LOVE the attention to detail regarding new cutlery between courses! We gathered for a business meeting, but I left a new regular patron of this establishment. Highly recommend… listen carefully to the specials as they were delightful! Can’t wait to go back!!!! Thank you for the amazing experience, see you soon!!!"

"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."

"As a former Bound Brook resident, years ago, I used to really enjoy eating here. Even celebrated my engagement with my now husband at this place, 18 years ago. We were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch and I can honestly say that is was just as great a restaurant as it was two decades ago. We absolutely loved it!"
