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.

The meal was excellent. The stuffed gnocchi was my favourite dish of the night! The combination of taleggio and truffle complemented each other very well. The service was attentive and friendly. The waiter made my birthday dinner feel very special!

We were still enjoying our cocktails and we were told we need the table in 10 min. For the $$$ bill I think there should be a better way to address it.
