on Citysearch Feb 01, 2008My wife and I enjoy good service and part of good service is delivering expectations. We have a child and we pay a baby sitter to watch the child and so if we're told we can have a table at 7:30pm, it helps when the Manager /... (more)

on Citysearch May 22, 2007This place is the best little cafe ever. I am a New York Italian, stumbled on this jewel, went for dinner with my husband, and can't stop going back. It was wonderful, from the butternut squash soup to the BEST Osso Buco... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 06, 2007Cozy=cramped. This place is tiny. If you don?t like having someone at another table on your elbow don?t bother. We?ve eaten there three times now as this is a halfway meeting point for friends in Silver Lake. It?s not... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 23, 2006I tried three times but could not get a table. I finally made it today and could understand why this tiny Italian kitchen is always full. Food was of similar quality of that in high end ristorantes. Minestrone soup,... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 16, 2005Tiny Italian tucked away in Larchmont Village. Has a quiet neighborhood feel (a rare find in LA). Chicken and veal dishes are extremely tender, with light flavorful sauces (the Marsala and Limone stand out). Pastas... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 28, 2003How refreshing to find a great little neighborhood spot in L.A., where restaurants tend to be more about glitz than charm. Girasole is romantic, well-priced, and the food was delicious and unique. Veal marsala is... (more)
