Seasonality isn’t a slogan at Il Girasole — it’s the engine of the menu. The kitchen is guided by what local farmers markets are producing, emphasizing California-grown produce, wild seafood, and meats sourced from smaller, sustainable ranches. This means the menu evolves naturally throughout the year, reflecting the changing harvest rather than staying fixed. Northern Italian cuisine has always depended on regional ingredients and a respect for what’s freshest, and Il Girasole translates that tradition to Orange County by letting the market lead. Guests can expect dishes that feel alive to the season, while still staying rooted in Italian foundations and careful technique.
