Osteria Giulia sprung to life in our imaginations as a tribute to Italian traditions of the past. We wanted to create one simple, beautiful thing. Somewhere outside of your busy life, outside of your surroundings, outside of time. An environment, an experience, an entire evening. Osteria Giulia is intimate, warm and familiar. We’ve revelled in her every detail. We’ve established a rarified menu focusing on Northern Italian cuisine and delicate coastal, Mediterranean flavour. Giulia is a new imagining of what an Italian restaurant can be. It always was the place of our dreams, the reason for our collaboration, and the culmination of—and conduit for—our collective passion.

A great dining experience from the moment that we arrived with a warm welcome and escort to our table. The service was excellent, attentive but not rushed, timely water refill, check in with each course and they just knew when we were ready for the bill. The menu was well set up and specials of the day were added by our waiter. Our calamari and pasta dishes arrived hot and were delicious. Although the restaurant was busy and a little noisy we were able to have a nice chat and visit while enjoying our dinner.
