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.

Laylak Restaurant truly exceeded my expectations with their Iftar menu. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and attentive service made us feel welcome. Their Iftar spread was beautifully curated, offering a perfect balance of traditional and modern flavors. Our server was amazing and he made sure to bring the meal as soon as possible because of the iftar time. The selection was generous, starting with refreshing dates and a variety of flavorful appetizers like lentil soup, crispy sambousek, and fresh salads. For the main course, the lamb and grilled meats were cooked to perfection. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a special Ramadan meal
