- OOlgaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •15 reviews5.0Dined todayFresh new Italian restaurant with delicious food and a beautiful plating. Pomodoro salad was one of the best I ever tasted. Simplicity of yellowtail crudo made it very special with addition of beetroot sauce. King crab ravioli and chicken breast were very fulfilling mains. Chicken breast was stuffed with root vegetable purée, which is tasty, but not for me due to dietary restrictions, so I didn’t expect it and it was not clear from the menu. My husband enjoyed it though. Overall it was a very pleasant dinner experience.More infoIl GirasolePrice: Expensive• Italian• Costa Mesa•4.8
