Winterlicious dinner menu was wonderful with all dinner size portion for our meal. Unlike many other restaurants who serve "sampler" size portion. I was happy with the warm and prompt service, while paying celebratory attention to birthday person. Thanks for the special birthday "date cake". It was yummy, like everything that we had! We will be back and looking forward to it!

We had a wonderful experience at Giulietta. We sat at the counters in front of the chefs and the head chef greeted us very kindly and with great suggestions. The food was absolutely delicious and amazing to watch how the kitchen team worked together. We would highly recommend this spot and look forward to going back!
