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 regularly visit Joni and are always treated to a great gourmet experience. The steak tartar is a favorite of mine and the duck breast on the menu currently is spectacular. The restaurant has redesigned to become more intimate and welcoming and has live music now most nights which is not intrusive but adds to the ambiance. The service we receive is always great - special mention to Kozi and Akil - long-time staff who are knowledgeable and provide seamless service. We were given a sneak peak at the new menu coming January 23 and it looks amazing - we will be back to try it.

There were some discount events, and the food was fresh and really delicious. Most of the servers were friendly as well. However, I was a bit disappointed that even though I mentioned it was my friend's birthday, we didn’t receive any special service.

Fantastic food, especially the five course tasting menu. Service was also excellent except for a minor annoyance with one of the servers singing/humming loudly while serving our food. It was significant enough to interrupt the conversation a few times.
