About this place
One dish that diners remember at girotondo is stuffed pasta served with Grandma Diva’s ragù. On one occasion, it was paired with cappelletti filled with ricotta; another diner enjoyed the handmade pasta’s firm texture and the lingering flavour of the ragù. The pasta and filling may change with the day’s menu, so part of the pleasure is seeing what is on offer when you visit.
Some diners look forward to the seasonal pasta dishes and say they would like to return in another season. Examples from the menu include strozzapreti with surf clam from Bekkai, Hokkaido, artichoke risotto and tagliatelle with chicken liver pâté. One day’s menu listed set courses at 6,800 yen and 8,800 yen. Other diners have enjoyed choosing à la carte dishes to share.
Wine is another part of the meal here, and diners have mentioned asking the sommelier for pairings to suit their dishes. It’s a good option when you’d like some guidance choosing a wine to enjoy with your food. To finish, consider the baked custard pudding or semifreddo with hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts. One diner remarked on the texture of the nuts, making dessert worth a look, too.
