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.

    We had an incredible experience at Enigma. From start to finish we were greeted with incredible service and friendly staff. The food was incredible with lots of complexity and beautiful presentation. Simply put, the food was art on a plate. We will definitely be returning. Thank you chef and team for a memorable evening!

    This restaurant deserves all the accolades it has received and should continue to receive. We went last night for continued birthday celebrations for my son and we couldn’t have chosen a better way to cap it all off. Not only was the food exceptional, the service was beyond. A glass was never empty, the napkins were always folded the moment you got up from the table, the pace of dishes and clean up between courses was never hesitant. There was no pretentiousness, just a good time and seamless execution. And thank you for listening to your clients. The birthday wishes were so appreciated. Thank you.

    The food and service were excellent and the place looks great. The cocktails I had were also amazing. We tried a bunch of things but not their pizza, which I’m looking forward to trying on our next visit. Recommended!

    🌟🍴 **A Culinary Masterpiece with Unforgettable Service!** Linny’s Restaurant on Ossington is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped in, the vibe was warm and inviting, but the real star of the show was the **food**—**next level** doesn’t even begin to cover it. We opted for the **Chef’s Special**, and wow, every dish was a symphony of flavors. Each bite felt like a celebration, with ingredients so fresh and combinations so inventive that we’re still dreaming about it days later. But the experience wasn’t just about the food—it was elevated by **Roy**, the standout server who’s clearly a talent in his own right. His knowledge of the menu was encyclopedic, his recommendations spot-on, and his energy infectious. Roy didn’t just serve; he curated the evening, turning a great meal into a **truly memorable event**. His passion for hospitality shines through, and he deserves all the praise! Linny’s is a must-visit for anyone craving creativity on a plate and service that goes above and beyond. **Shoutout to Roy** for making our night extraordinary—this place is a Toronto treasure! 👏🍷 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    This was my second time at Osteria Giulia and it was even better than the first time. All of the staff attended to our needs - from storing coats, scarves and hats .. to great service from our server (John) .. who had lots of great suggestions from cocktails to wine. The food is exquisite. Obviously, this is not an inexpensive evening but is worth it for special occasions! Or just to treat yourself!
