    Giulia is my family’s go-to restaurant to celebrate occasions and it never lets us down. Last night, as usual, the food was delicious, the service was friendly and helpful, just perfect. Can’t wait for the next occasion to send us there.

    My wife and I reserved the recommended two weeks ahead of time. I was not able to find the exact time we wanted (6 PM) but we were able to accommodate the 8:15. We showed up a little early. Everyone was great. Food was awesome. My wife had the pasta and scallops. I had the rare dish, wild hare. We shared the affogato. All of it excellent!

    The food is quite good, being a pasta restaurant I was not pleased when the bucatini came out over cooked for the second time (different visit). The staff scoffed when I asked to cook the pasta al dente but still the bucatini was mush. Otherwise the food was quite good, and I even loved the sauce of the bucatini. Sad that the staff was so arrogant and avoid the bucatini!

    The meal was superb, from beginning to end. Best dining out experience in a very long time. I was with a party of 4 to celebrate a birthday. We all had different pasta dishes and each one was terrific. Appetizers and desserts were great too. Excellent service and comfortable ambience and noise level. I look forward to the next time. 👍❣️

    Everything was lovely, with the exception of one dish, which involved too much basil pesto and not enough of anything else. I still recommend Giulia, but it's maybe a little more hit or miss than it used to be.
