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.

We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday, and it was an amazing experience! We tried the Louix Louis burger, Marlada pasta, and mac and cheese. The burger and pasta were absolutely delicious, but unfortunately, the mac and cheese fell short of our expectations it lacked flavor. Despite that, the ambiance was fantastic, and the service was great . I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great lunch or dinner in the city!

The food was absolutely fantastic. It was beyond our expectations. We had the curated menu and they were able to accommodate our dietary restrictions which was so appreciated. The curated menu is worth the higher price tag as you get to try a few of the culinary masterpieces that their chef creates with an element surprise. The service was also great. It is a bit loud but only because people are having a good time. :)

I had the best focaccia I’ve ever eaten here! The seasoning of the dishes was just right, perfectly balanced without being too salty, which is something I’ve noticed in many restaurants lately. Every dish was flavorful without overwhelming the palate. The only minor downside was that I felt a bit rushed when ordering food and drinks, as if there was some time pressure. However, I want to emphasize that the server was not rude at all, in fact, they were very kind and attentive to details. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d love to visit again!
