Nice little local eatery. The food is decent. A little underwhelming for the price but perfectly eatable. The pizza looked very nice. A bit more imagination in the dressing and variety in the textures of the salad items would make a world of difference. Maybe something apart from basic mixed leaves from a bistro salad bag with a bit of sweet balsamic dressing under the roasted veggies… A little cheese, a few roasted pine nuts, a little crunch from some seeds. A little fragrant walnut oil. All would help liven things up a bit. House Merlot very drinkable. Tiramisu, I would definitely give a miss and try something else on the dessert menu - then again it is Italian food, so not much call for puddings! On the super positive side, the service is absolutely first class. I was looked after brilliantly with kindness and attention without being over-fussy. Fabulous. If I came again, and I think I would just for the friendly welcome, I think I’d just stick to the pizzas and the pasta and enjoy the perfect service. Oh, and on my way out I spotted a sign saying they are breast-feeding friendly. That’s a great sign of a family restaurant in my books.

What a gem. On a father and daughter day I was taken for a lunchtime treat Italian restaurant. Tucked away down an unassuming dead-end side street off the market square. Wasn't obvious a restaurant was there, I said are you sure we are going the right way? Led by my daughter we entered il Girasole. A lovely Italian restaurant. Pleasantly greeted we were shown to our prebooked table. We had our starters breads dipping oils and olives. Three different dipping breads, sesamee twist, tomato bread & focaccia. Which later, during our main course, we could see the breads being freshly made and baked. Our main, recommend by my daughter whom had been here a few times before, was breaded king prawn linguine with a creamy mushroom and cherry tomato sauce finished with a sprinkle of red chilli. So nice. There was banter with the owner I think, over the grating of this huge block of parmesan cheese. Interior decor is tired if not authentic, adding to the ambience. I am taken by this restaurant and will definitely be returning very soon. Highly recommend. Afterwards, ice cream in hand, we watched a few bands, musicians and artist perform on the market square. A perfect day. 🙂
Lovely find. Food was pretty good.
Someone needs to get the chef on a salad dressing course.
I had to ask for olive oil and balsamic.
Dressing the salads would make a big difference.
We would go back.
Maybe I’ll go and show the chef how to dress a salad 🤣
This was the first time of me and the good lady but it came highly recommend with our other guest who is a local to the picturees town of St neots, from the warm welcome to the attentive service staff this a great restaurant it is not high dinning but it does not clame to be, but it really has that warm friendly atmosphere, the good lady is a mussel connicer and these did not disappoint so much so that she had two portions after tasting the first course, if I had one tiny tiny criticism is that the mixed starter was not dressed with any oils or balmastic but it was only a small thing. I would lie to give a big shout out to Chloe, Emilla, and the pizza barista marchlo they were all exceptional in there roles attentive but not over bearing. So in conclusion this is a great Italian restaurant and areal gem in a small x market town.
Well worth a visit.
This is a regular restaurant choice of ours! But last nights service and food was amazing!
Service was super fast, food was delicious and it was just all round a great dinner out (it always is).
Staff are always really friendly and the food is proper home cooked Italian cuisine. Definitely one to try if you haven’t yet :)
We had the most delicious meal this evening at Il Girasole and saw other amazing dishes being delivered to all the tables nearby!
The restaurant had a wonderful warm vibe & staff were very professional.
Really deserves an outstanding (& even more so because it was for my birthday!) 😊
A fantastic local Italian restaurant. The food is really tasty, good portion sizes and excellent value for money. The staff work really hard to ensure everyone has a great time. Well done team.
Just wonderful ~ we made reservations last minute and they were able to squeeze us in ~ risky chance on a Saturday night. We were greeted at the door and had our rainy coats hung for us - talk about customer service! Excellent
Next we ordered off the menu a Salad with Shrimp and Lobster, Chicken with tomatoes and cheese, eggplant parmigiana starter and my salad was the pear, bleu cheese, pecan and greens salad - topped it off with a wonderful glass of Valpolicelli and wa...la :)
Next visit it will be a pizza - they looked amazing as they went by and we were very close to the prep area that smelled glorious.
If you are in St. Neots and craving a little Italian - molto bene!
Went for lunch on Sunday afternoon 4 Adults and a baby. The interior felt classical but not stuffy, the decor is quite dark but creates a nice atmosphere and feels relaxed. It has the vibe that you could have wondered in off the esplanade of a Mediterranean beach strip. Air con was keeping the place chilled and not at all sticky on a warm day. The food was very nice, felt authentic and was prepared in just the right amount of time, I had the calzone which was a very hearty meal. The staff were very attentive and friendly they alway made us feel welcome. I often feel anxious about dining out with the baby but the smiley staff put us at ease and we could all enjoy our lunch. Well done and thank you 👍🙂👌
Fantastic food. Friendly staff. We really enjoyed our food and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend.
