We invite you to ring in the New Year and join Chef Lou and Lydia as they celebrate 20 years of being at Girasole, and over 30 years of being restauranteurs! Since 1991, with their first restaurant Panino located in Manassas, they have proudly served authentic Italian food as a fully chef-owned and operated business. Our fixed priced New Year’s eve menu is just the beginning of events we have planned throughout the year to celebrate our 20 years in the village of The Plains.
Please call to join in the celebration and to reserve your table, 540-253-5501. Optional wine pairings will be available, with an additional sparkling pairing just for the occasion! A credit card is required with your reservation.
