For starters, the place is charming. Something about little restaurants that are a few steps below street level. Ambience was good. I was promptly met by the owner who immediately stopped what he was doing to seat me, which was nice because the place was crowded. No problem. I was happy.\n\nI ordered the fish of the day, which was walleye on a portion of tomato risotto with greens. The fish was super fresh and delicious; the risotto was nicely prepared and also delicious. But the greens were bitter and overpowered the whole thing. If it weren't for that, I would have given Girasole four or possibly five stars. It kinda ruined the experience.\n\nWith two chiantis and tip, the bill came out to $54.\n\nHaving said all of that, I'm going to give it another try. The gnocchi looked interesting as did several of the other pastas. Maybe next trip.
