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.

    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.
