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.

The meal was excellent. The stuffed gnocchi was my favourite dish of the night! The combination of taleggio and truffle complemented each other very well. The service was attentive and friendly. The waiter made my birthday dinner feel very special!

Amazing food and service! Our server was so friendly and knowledgeable, as well as very attentive. Our water glasses were never empty! They had so many good suggestions for us based on our preferences (which they asked in advance!), so that was really amazing and i’m sure we ended up enjoying the food more because of this. Great experience overall, we’re very happy with it!

Delicious food, artfully plated, accompanied by nice wine. The restaurant is small and too loud for us to hear each other talk.
