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.

Wonderful experience. We had the chefs tasting menu and everything was outstanding. Service was top notch and the cocktails were delicious. I had my 7 week old with me and a member of the Richmond Station team approached me on my way to the washroom to ask if I needed a place to change her. So very kind. We look forward to returning!

The service and food was great. Only complaint is that we were seated by the window and it was extremely cold. I had to wear my coat.

Had a lovely dinner for two at Edna + Vita. The calamari fritti was delicious, crispy and the aioli was excellent. We also enjoyed the Apple and prosciutto salad was creamy, had great depth of flavour and wonderfully presented. Also highly recommend the brown butter gnocchi, it’s very difficult to find well made gnocchi outside of Italy. The sauce was flavourful, gnocchi was well formed, plump and fluffy. Excellent dinner and look forward to going again soon. The service was wonderful, attentive and friendly. The ambiance was warm, inviting and we had excellent view by the window on second floor.
