Ferro has been established and family-operated since 1993.

The Food: Serving up traditional southern Italian cuisine with a creative spin where we feel you will enjoy it! Our original culinary ambitions have never changed: By holding true to the family recipes and dedication to fresh ingredients as passed down through the generations that have preceded us, we bring you authentic, honest, home-cooked food the very same way we enjoy it.

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.

    It was an unknown restaurant to my wife and I. We received a pleasant greeting and were sat down at a nice table. Our waitress Katherine was FANTASTIC. Polite, professional and always a smile on her face. She made us feel at home and comfortable. I had a drink then a starter caesar salad and then the Americana pizza. Both were well prepared and of good portion size. My wife had a different salad, and pasta, which she really enjoyed. We shared the non flour chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. So good. No real criticisms....maybe a little pricey, but everything is expensive now a days. A very pleasant outing and we will be back certainly.

    Pukka is always great. The food is rich and flavourful but it has a brightness the elevates it beyond your standard Indian fare. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Just a great experience.
