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 arrived early and was meet with a warm welcome and a smile. The hostess was extremely pleasant and accommodating. She was able to seat us early with a prime location. The server was awesome. She greeted us immediately, took our drink order and was prompt with the menus. We had the fresh pasta and Lamb. The dish was perfectly cooked and the portions were just right. We will definitely be back again.

    We went out for dinner with friends. We booked a table on the patio and enjoyed the warm weather. Don’t know the server’s name, but she was amazing! Helped a lot with food choices and her funny friendly approach. The wine was great too. This was not our first visit at Enoteca, and we definitely will be back. Thank you!
