In company with Sandra Hernandez, our Head Chef, we offer a culinary journey with dishes prepared from scratch, made with the freshest and highest-quality ingredients. Discover new flavours, dive into our specialties like the Mole Poblano and Carne Asada, and create memorable moments with loved ones.

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.
