    By far some of the best, quality Italian food I have ever had, much less in Thailand. Pasta is fresh and homemade and has a richness that is unbeatable. I loved the atmosphere and the ability to watch passerby, while enjoying a nice glass of wine. Prices are a bit steep, but the quality is truly unmatched and you will absolutely get your money's worth. I highly recommend if you want true Italian food! Will definitely be back before leaving Chiang Mai!

    A very nice Italian restaurant. Food was very good. Service was a little lacking but it was a slow afternoon. Prices are fair. Overall a nice place that I would recommend.

    Girasole enjoys an enviable location right on the popular Tha Pae Road, near Wat Pan Aon Manastery. Decoration is a western style home-like restaurant. it also has a balcony to sit on and watch the world go by. Girasole likely isn’t the most authentic Italian pizzeria in town, but it is certainly one of the most experimental and fun! The pizzas come in small and large sizes and if undecided, you can simply order two toppings on one pizza. Prices start at 220 baht. Other dishes worth ordering are any of the pastas, Steaks, Risottos and the BBQ ribs. For today, I have ordered to-go Napoletana Pizza and Cheese Ham Rolls to completely complete my Sunday. High Recommended! 💯❤️

    Portions are big here, but taste is just.. meeh… It was really a lot of meat in my bolognese, but I didn’t eat it all because I just wasn’t enjoying it, pizza was okay, not great, just ok. Can’t recommend this place

    Sometimes it’s about making the right choice. Avocado and shrimps salad 5 out of 5, minestrone wasn’t bad 4.6 out of 5 but caprese salad was average and I’m not sure if the cheese was fresh. But overall the restaurant is good

    Many restaurant owners complain that there are only a few customers. If that's really, then I should, if I were restaurant owner, do everything to make your customer happy and deliver the best of the best. Apparently, the owner of Girasole, doesn't care. He served a pizza of very moderate quality: bad quality ham: you cannot call that prosciutto! And moreover, why use mushrooms from a can? That is soooo disappointing! The service of this place is okay. Not bad and not extremely friendly. Atmosphere should be better with more customers. But they cannot help that. It is ashame: this place has a perfect location in the old city. I am sure, when they focus more on quality, the results should increase immediately!

    The owner and staff of Girasole by La Gondola couldn’t have been nicer in inviting us in during this tough time for restaurants and vendors. We took advantage of the 50/50 Thailand deal and Girasol’s Buy 2 get 1 free lunch special going on for a limited time. The food was wonderful. We will be back because I felt as though I was back in Malibu, California in this little plaza setting. The ocean could have been just across the road.

    (Oct 2021) The weather fully cooperated for a wonderful outdoor dining experience. Tender pork flavored just right with a hint of orange along with spinach plated with a nice tomato rose. My partner enjoyed One-Eye fish filet cooked to perfection along with spinach. Mushroom cream soup was properly full cream consistency. Very friendly service staff and courses were nicely timed. A tiramisu finisher with whipped cream filled our bellies! Odd/even street parking available. Recommended and will return next visit to CNX. Pricing is "reasonable" for quality full-up meals considering soup starters and dessert. Look for available promotions such as on their FB or website.

    It was Italian, open, comfortable. Pizza was thin, but soggy. I suspect the oven was not up to temperature. I went early afternoon and was the only customer. Caprese salad was not good, tomatoes had no taste, cheese was old.

    Absolutely AWESOME Italian food, very reasonable price and excellent service. Highly recommended Pork special was 7*+ Great menu. There are some dubious reviews here, obviously NEVER been to Italy. Food here is Absolutely Supurb...ignore the bad reviews from nearby restaurant owners. The chef here understands Italian cuisine and cooks it perfectly

    It was a wonderful relief to feel the air conditioner as I entered the restaurant. I remarked how nice and cool it was inside and to my surprise the waitress smirked and rolled her eyes to her colleagues? Wow. -1 for service. Free bread sticks were offered with tomato/olive oil dipping sauce. It was fresh, not stale. DELICIOUS. I ordered Mediterranean pizza and it was so good I could have eaten another one by myself. I quickly remembered to take a photo of the last slice before I devoured it!!!

    Food was just soso, barely worth the 50% discount with eatigo. Service was rather unfriendly, background music was annoying and on top of all they didn't want to give me the cheesecake at the discount rate for food. Since when is dessert part of the drink menu, huh?! Checked back with eatigo and they confirmed that this was not correct... But no make up from their side either. Leaving a bad aftertaste for the whole concept. Answer to the owner's reply: Try that in English again?

    The food was really delicious and the service was very friendly. We were sitting outside, but the street noise was not distracting in any way. We'll probably return during our stay in Chiang Mai. Update: We came back. This time we had pizza (last time we had pasta). The pizza was really delicious too. It's amazing, that they get ingredients like salsiccia!

  • 2/5 Jasmin B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, there was absolutely no seasoning. My friend had the pizza picante and I pasta arrabiata and both we had to season with tabasko ... The pasta was pasta and tomatoes without pelle ... No sauce etc. At least the ambience was nice! (Original) Leider gab es absolut keine Würzung. Mein Freund hatte die Pizza picante und ich pasta arrabiata und beides haben wir mit tabasko nachwürzen müssen... Die pasta war Nudeln und Tomaten ohne pelle... Keine Soße etc. Zumindest war das Ambiente schön!

    Stopped in for the pizza and a salad and the pizza was like pizza straight out of New York City!!!! Awesome little place to visit but I can't speak for anything else except the amazing pizza that is worth every bit of the trip here!

  • 3/5 Donna F. 2 years ago on Google
    My mushroom ravioli was very tasty. The garlic bread appetizer was a big disappointment-four sad, small, dry pieces of bread on a huge black plate. There was hardly any butter or garlic on it. My husband's Hawaiian pizza was "o.k." An enormous amount of raw onion overpowered all the other ingredients. They do have an extensive menu with many delicious choices. We just weren't wowed by what we received tonight. The service was good and restaurant clean and pleasant.

  • 3/5 Akanit N. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s a 3 stars restaurant and everything is good for this type of restaurant. Thais may love this restaurant since they have some pizza adjusted to local’s taste. Overall ok, nothing impressive, but nothing gone wrong either.

  • 1/5 Иван �. 2 years ago on Google
    Awful kids menu that is not tasty and sausages is not stable, never order it. Pizza is not tasty at all. Ravioli was really bad. Hope you will get better food here. And staff was nice and good service.

  • 5/5 Robert K. 3 years ago on Google
    Very relaxing and central location with a varied Italian menu. Excellent service, very good staff and awesome food. Quite honestly some of the best Italian food I have had in Thailand and possibly anywhere. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

    Great place, lovely staff with lots of room for children to run around in the courtyard - plus a Christmas tree!

  • 4/5 Aundrea C. 5 years ago on Google
    Girasole is now my new favorite Italian place in town. The portion sizes outshine any other in Chiang Mai. The quality of their house red wine is boast worthy and a bargain at 110 baht per glass. The service was excellent, and they brought us fresh bread to go along with our meal (something no other Italian restaurant in the area has done). I only have good things to say. I will definitely be back!

  • 4/5 Andrew N. 7 years ago on Google
    The Italian sausage pizza was awesome and we got a pasta but the tomato sauce was short on tomatoes. They also forgot to bring the pasta but once we got it, we devoured it. The caprese salad was also pretty tasty.

  • 5/5 yoh a. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I ordered pizza Naples (anchovy pizza) and white 300cc of house wine. The pizza was crispy and crispy and delicious. However, if you are alone, you will lose the crispness unless you eat in a hurry. I think it's best to eat with 2 or 3 people. I thought that 440b for pizza and wine and this price for kiln-baked pizza are expensive. (Original) ピザナポリ(アンチョビのピザ)とハウスワインの白300ccを頼みました。ピザはクリスビーでパリッとして美味しかったです。ただ、一人だと急いで食べないとパリパリ感が無くなってしまいます。2~3人で食べるのがいいと思います。ピザとワインで440b、窯焼きピザでこの値段はコスパが高いと思いました。

    (Translated by Google) A shop located in the middle of the tourist area. The menu is written in Japanese and there are many types. The price is not too high. There are variations in the quality of the dishes, and there are delicious ones and "U-n". Pizza and steaks knew that they needed to do something extra with fire. Dessert tiramisu was quite delicious (Original) 旅行者エリアのまっただ中にある店。メニューは日本語併記で種類も多い。値段もそれほど高くない。 料理のできにバラツキがある感じで、おいしいものと「う〜ん」というものがある。ピッツァやステーキなどは火の扱いにもうひと工夫が必要とかんじた。デザートのティラミスはかなりおいしかった

  • 5/5 SHINYA I. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Judging from my ratings, this restaurant has to be rated 6 stars. As an Italian, ChiangMai stands out a bit. You can say that you have reached the middle level of Italian eating in big cities in developed countries. Bruschetta (65B) is a slice of French bread with garlic butter and plenty of diced tomatoes with herb seeds and olive oil. There is no basil but it is a great balance. Pomodoro pork and mushrooms (200B) are cooked close to al dente, and the tomato sauce is a nice touch. I was a little worried that the pork had a Thai flavor. What surprised me most was that 300ml of red wine carafe was served at 210B. Origin is South Africa. Of course, beer and other drinks may be expensive, but the average price of ChiangMai red wine is cheaper than common sense. The staff is well trained. I was grateful for the timing of bringing the pasta. This restaurant surpasses the Italian home-cooked restaurant I visited the other day and wrote "delicious". Strongly recommended (if you want to know the name of the restaurant the other day, please refer to my reviews). (Original) 僕のこれまでのレーティングから考えると、このレストランには星を6つあげなければなりません。イタリアンとしてはChiangMaiで少し飛び抜けています。先進国の大都会で食べるイタリアンの中級レベルに達していると言えるでしょう。 ブルスケッタ(65B)はフランスパンのスライスにガーリックバターを塗り、ハーブシードとオリーブオイルをあえた賽の目切りのトマトをたっぷり。バジルはないけど素晴らしいバランスです。ポークとマッシュルームのポモドーロ(200B)はアルデンテに近い茹で加減で、トマトソースもいい感じです。若干気になったのはポークの下味がタイ風味だったことでしょうか。 何より驚いたのは、300mlの赤ワインのカラフェが210Bで供されていること。産地は南アフリカ。もちろんビールなど他の飲み物からすると高いかもしれませんが、ChiangMaiの赤ワインの平均価格からすると常識破りに安いと言えると思います。 スタッフもよくトレーニングされている感じです。パスタを持ってきてくれるタイミングを気にしてくれて有り難かったです。 このレストランは僕が先日訪れて「美味しい」と書いたイタリア家庭料理の店を凌駕しています。強力にお勧めです(先日のレストランの名前を知りたい方は僕のクチコミをご参照くださいますと幸いです)。

    I'm a big lover of Italian food and had the Beef Bolognese Spaghetti. My Thai wife had the Spaghetti with White Wine Clam sauce . The Bolognese was very salty. And the noodles were undercooked. White wine Clam sauce was wine and butter with very little seasoning. I won't recommend this restaurant, but the People serving are attentive and pleasant. The food however is not worth the cost.
