Perched inside SOCO & The OC Mix in Costa Mesa, Il Girasole enjoys a strategic location that’s convenient for diners coming from Newport, Huntington Beach, and other Orange County spots. The restaurant sits at 3321 Hyland Ave, bridging coastal communities and inland neighborhoods. Because of this prime site, Il Girasole captures both beachside guests and suburban locals who seek a refined, modern Italian dining experience without traveling into the city. As noted on OpenTable, the menu is guided by the farmers market, showcasing locally sourced produce, wild seafood, and meats from small, sustainable ranches, making it appealing to coastal diners who value freshness and seasonality.
