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.

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!

It was great having Chef Bennet come out and introduce us to a dish. U can feel that the tasting menu is coming from Chef Bennett's Root (South Africa). The menu was very earthy and exciting from dish to dish. The Juice pairing that was offered was great as well.
