    what a lovely place ! small and cosy with a great atmosphere. the owners are extremely nice people and you can easily tell that the lady is very passionate about food. I was even offered to get a different type of risotto than the one in menu and it was delicious. great wine as well πŸ˜‰ on top of that, not expensive at all, definitely coming back next time I'm in London !

    A sweet little Italian shop serving fresh food (the beef lasagna were succulent!) and traditional pastries for a good price (meal + dessert + coffee for less than 10Β£). Friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a quick break before or after going to Finsbury park.

    The owner of this place was the real highlight. A lovely lady with a passion for food. The afternoon tea was nice, but be warned it doesn't include that many sweet things.

    Had a stunning dinner here last night. An intimate setting surrounded by shelves of Italian treats expertly chosen by the all-Italian team at Girasole. Each course is beautifully presented and served with an attentive but relaxed front of house. The dishes are perfectly balanced and the menu chosen with care. The menu also caters well for vegetarians. Perfect evening for an intimate date or take over for a birthday party. Cannot recommend enough, a slice of Italy in N7.

    An adorable little Italian coffee shop serving authentic, smooth Italian coffee and a range of sandwiches, tarts, and other lunchables. They also have a great selection of desserts; you absolutely have to try the various flavours of cannoli's they have! They're delightful! Staff are super friendly and fast as well.

    I have been here with my partner and we had a lovely lunch: pasta with sausage and timo. It was delicious and it seemed to be in Italy! Pastries are also so tasty! The owner was so kind and made us try homemade desserts. Will definitely come back! Thank you

    My favorite cafe in London! I come in for my morning coffee and am met with great service and great coffee. The manager is also an amazing chef, you can tell she is very passionate in everything she does!!... Surprisingly also Girasole Taste of Italy takes dinner booking. I have booked my Valentines dinner and it was really amazing. We have been served a delicious pre starter and a glass of prosecco as a welcome. My highlight dish was the Lamb. Its was great experience. Highly recommended πŸ‘Œ

    We have had the pleasure of attending 2 of Girasole's evening supper clubs so far (they are normally every other Saturday) and both times it's been fantastic. Love the local vibes, great and interesting takes on dishes. Eglal is amazing and makes the evenings very entertaining and enjoyable. Thoroughly recommend taking advantage of this local gem if you get the chance.

    I have been coming to this Italian cafe every morning for the past year for my coffee and can safely say it’s the best in the area!! Not only that, the food is incredible. The owner cooks a variety of fresh (usually Italian) food every morning and it’s absolutely delicious. Last night the owner put on a special private dinner for us as we are leaving the area…. I was blown away by the quality of the produce that was used. It literally felt like we were in Italy. Thank you Eglel for such a beautiful experience for our final week in Finsbury Park! We’ll miss you and the team and Girasole!

    We went in for a short cake. But the atmosphere was so lovely, environment clean, and staff were nice and friendly. That we ended up staying longer. Having various herbal tea and relaxing and chatting.
