Solid
Italian
home
cooking
at
Michelin
Guide
Prices.
Girasole’s
prices
reflect
the
generally
expensive
food
scene
in
Atlantic
City
and
they
put
their
prices
accordingly.
Not
a
criticism
of
them
at
all,
just
a
reality
to
keep
in
mind
if
you’re
going
to
visit.
I
would
definitely
visit
again
as
the
food
was
good
and
if
you’re
after
something
good
then
you’ll
have
to
pay
for
it
in
this
City.
The
ingredients
were
simple
and
well
executed.
There
was
nothing
special
about
the
flavour
or
any
of
the
dishes
we
had
but
it
just
came
the
way
you
want
home
cooked
food
to
be:
no
frills
&
reminding
you
of
Italy.
Although
the
initial
service
and
starters
were
quick,
the
other
courses
came
quite
slowly.
The
feeling
you
get
is
a
family
affair,
run
for
the
joy
of
being
together
and
no
one
is
in
a
rush
-
we
enjoyed
our
time!
I’ve
explained
the
dishes
I
had
in
more
below
but
if
I
was
to
come
again
here
is
what
I’d
do
differently:
I’d
get
a
pizza
as
a
starter
-
although
not
wood-fired,
it
came
out
looking
and
smelling
great
-
I’d
have
a
go
at
one
of
them.
For
the
rest
of
the
menu,
I’d
avoid
anything
that
requires
a
level
of
technical
cooking
to
bring
out
flavour.
I’d
avoid
the
main
menu
and
just
stick
to
the
first
course
pasta
menu.
I’d
get
three
or
four
pasta
dishes
and
stick
to
a
dish
that
is
known
for
its
richness:
the
rigatoni
ragù
or
the
farfalle
for
sure.
We
had
the
soup
of
the
day:
Minestrone
Soup
-
it
was
light
and
had
a
soft
melody
of
vegetables
but
it
was
all
quite
bland,
a
little
more
flavour
in
the
broth
would
have
gone
a
long
way.
The
Mixed
Seafood
Pasta,
the
seafood
was
slightly
over
cooked
-
particularly
the
prawns
-
but
the
pasta
had
a
perfect
texture.
The
sauce
could
have
had
a
little
more
richness
or
depth
to
its
seasoning.
I
was
expecting
that
classic
simple
Italian
dedication
to
fresh
tomatoes
but
it
just
wasn’t
there.
Side
Dishes:
The
mushroom
dish
was
surprisingly
the
best
dish
of
the
day.
In
stark
constraint
to
the
poorly
chosen
tomatoes,
the
mushrooms
were
brilliantly
selected
and
full
of
flavour.
We
also
had
the
asparagus
but
it
was
quite
bland
and
the
creamy
hollandaise
sauce
to
accompany
it
lacked
any
kind
of
flavour.
To
the
main
dish
of
the
day,
the
Salt
Baked
Sea
Bass.
It
was
really
good.
Subtle
salt
matched
with
a
very
good
lemon
and
caper
sauce.
The
dish
is
more
style/theatre
than
substance
(the
waiter
breaks
the
salt
crust
and
serves
the
fillets
to
you)
but
it
still
delivers.
