Girasole

Italian$-$$

The elegance of veteran restaurateur Gino Iovino’s upscale Italian restaurant inside the Ocean Club Condominium belies the seedy stretch of motels, liquor shops and strip clubs that surround it. Iovino's love of fashion, as the longtime owner of the Eleganza Boutique, explains Girasole's lavish decor, with golden fabric waves rolling across the ceiling over a dining room done-up in deep Capri blue, polished marble tables, and the white brick dome of a Neapolitan pizza oven.
