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.

Opened in 2017. Michelin-recommended since 2022.We first imagined Aloette to be the perfect diner that we’d want to dine in – a menu with a great burger paired with a fantastic and fun wine list, a long row of bar stools facing the bar and the kitchen, and an energetic atmosphere accented with an old school hip hop playlist. The buzz of the dining room mirrors the energy of the street on Spadina Avenue; the dining room itself mimics a train’s dining car. It’s kind of a bistro, kind of a diner, internationally inspired menu which is also representative of the diverse culture in Toronto.Brunch at Aloette was something we said we’d never do. But the city kept asking and we’re glad to be a new staple in the Queen West neighbourhood for mimosas, chicken and waffles, and piping hot coffees.

    unique steak house experience. The Jewish twist with traditional side dishes (cabbage, beets, pickle platter) were great. the star of the meal was the pastrami and a close second the shake and bake chicken. Great cocktails (Franks Gibson with horseradish!!!). amazing closer: babka. oh my. sooo good.

    This was our second visit to Giulietta and it was just as good as the first time we experienced it! The grilled octopus was just as good as we remember and our new favourite dish was the stuffed gnocchi with shaved truffle. Also the service was on another level as we wanted to shoutout Sergio who was checking in on us the whole night while also sending out dishes. We will definitely be planning our next visit to Giulietta as each time get better and better.

    We heard a lot about Bar Isabel but never get a chance to dine there until yesterday night for our anniversary. The food was amazing, the service was attentive. At the end of our meal, we were so full so we did not order dessert but they gave us two little coconut bars with happy anniversary sign, that was a nice touch to our evening. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience we definitely will be back.

    My partner and I visited Proof Bar for our first Valentine's together. The service, quality of food and generosity of the staff greatly exceeded our expectations. I ordered the salmon poke and he ordered the 8oz burger. The food was all delicious! For dessert, we ordered the apple crumble and s'mores tart. The icing on the cake was when the chef made a complimentary heart-shaped mousse dessert to acknowledge Valentine's. Dining in an igloo with snow around truly took the experience to another level. There's no doubt we'll be back again!
