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.
Lovely food, attentive service and decent portion sizes. I will be going back.
The reviews certainly weren't wrong. We had a lovely welcome, fantastic service and gorgeous food, all washed down with our Italian favourite - Prosecco! We went for starters (Tiger Prawns, Mushroom with ground pork), mains (Sea Bass, pork medallions) and shared a gorgeous sweet. We really cannot rate the food here highly enough. We are on holiday here but will be going back before the end of the week with our two daughters. Please support this fabulous establishment St Neots - don't risk losing it!
Lovely atmosphere and food was delicious!!
Air conditioning inside, very comfortable during the hot weather!
We have booked a table for lunch and we really enjoyed our food :) very friendly staff (!), the food is super tasty and so is the presentation. We will definitely come back with the family and recommend the restaurant to friends as well.
The food was good everyone enjoyed their meal. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would say the starters could be a little bigger.
I had the seafood stew it was good but would be nicer to have a little calamari, fish and baby octopus. As it was clams muscles and prawns only.
Overall I did enjoy my experience here!
We've come here a few times and never been disappointed. The olives are a very generous portion. They made us feel very welcome and we had a 1 year old with us. All the food is so tasty especially the "specials" and the carbonara! Good service! Look forward to our next visit.
Loved it! Popped in for a quick lunch, had a lovely service with a smile and a delicious meal.
