    We had an absolutely amazing dinner at Giulia last night. We kicked things off with some of our go-to favorites: the Unicorn Oyster, Warm Semolina Cake, and Crostini with chicken liver mousse. All three were just fantastic—exactly how we remembered them. Next up was the crudo, which was spot-on. The combo of beans, lemon, and mandarin was so fresh and bright—it really hit the mark. For pasta, we went with the Duck Wing Tortellini and Wild Boar Pappardelle. The tortellini was out of this world, with perfect flavor balance, and the pappardelle? Wow. Big, tender chunks of boar in a killer ragu. Just perfection. We wrapped it up with the Lamb Sausage, which was ridiculously good. So much flavor packed into every bite. Service was amazing as always and the coctails, Wines and Amaro selection is always impresive

    We had a team diner of 11 people and 2 were running late. I was impressed by how kind, welcoming and helpful Noel was, despite the hassle I am certain this cause the poor kitchen folks. Despite our odd ordering cadence, every plate was perfection. The food here is always inventive, with exciting flavor combinations... but the plating is dazzling. Every course is an event, and I sit in an emotional crisis... of eating the fragrant and mouthwatering presentation... while not wanting to ruin such a perfect plate! The Fresca Lime Ricky (mocktail) was delicious. Who needs alcohol when such flavorful alternatives are available? Must try... Dee's Artichoke Cakes and the Thousand-Layer Crispy Potato Pave. (It haunts my dreams). For your main... this place does short-rib right so well. I had a special, but every dinner was devoured with enthusiasm. This was my 5th visit, and I have another planned in January. Add this to your list as a total GEM!
