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.

Naomi Raha and Alexandra were all amazing and worked like a true team! The drinks were amazing and the food made us wanting to try more. The ambience was great. Not too loud so we could have a conversation but nice and spacious all around. Can’t wait til the patio opens up in the summer.
