Osteria Giulia in Toronto

One of the best dinners I ve had in a long while. Everything we had ordered tasted amazing. The anchovies with butter was so good. We both kept saying it was the best butter we ve had. The yellowtail crudo, was light and refreshing with the pomegranate bits. The veal & tuna carpaccio was superb, especially the white creamy sauce that goes with it. The pastas as expected were also great and the side order of brussel sprouts to compliment the lamb chops were just as tasty too! If you re looking to choose which dessert, I d go with the poached pear - for sure. Aside from the food, the atmosphere and service was incredible. The staff took such great care of us and presented complimentary bubbles to start and extra desserts to finish. They also made us drinks based on what we were feeling at the time which was lovely of them. We definitely had such a wonderful experience and I can t thank the staff enough for making it such an enjoyable dinner.

It was a nice experience but in terms of food we did expect more for a Michelin star

I absolutely adore this restaurant! It has the best food in Toronto, and everyone should definitely give it a try.

Osteria Giulia offered a memorable dining experience with a few standout dishes. The PACCHERI alla GENOVESE was the highlight one of the best pasta dishes I ve ever had. The CARRE di AGNELLO was perfectly cooked and flavorful, while the MILLEFOGLIE al COCCO impressed with its refreshing tropical twist. The ACCIUGHE e BURRO, TAGLIOLINI al GRANCHIO, and TIRAMISU were solid but not extraordinary. Overall, I d return for the PACCHERI and MILLEFOGLIE alone!

Food is extremely overrated Service is excellent $400 for 2 people

Food was terrible - crab pasta was crunchy like bits of crab shell in it. It was also cold. Mushroom risotto had no flavor. However service was excellent. Tiramisu was okay but tasted faintly of cheap dark chocolate. I felt so bad for my boyfriend who brought me here.

Fabulous food. Excellent service.

The culinary experience was exceptional, particularly the veal carpaccio. The ambiance contributed to an overall positive dining experience.

Service, ambiance and food is absolutely amazing!

The lamb chops are one of the best in town! So tender and flavourful. Loved the veal carpaccio as well.

The grilled seafood platter was very disappointing. It was not tasty at all. My husband is not a picky eater And we both found this very appetizing and bland. The risotto and lorighittas al mare pasta was borderline undercooked. The vehicle carpaccio was very good. The service was excellent.

enjoyed a birthday celebration last night , out waiter Giancarlo was the best we ever expeierenced , knowledgable and on point in every area food .... well the food was a 10+ had pastas , fish , beet salad , a true experience thank you David

I came here to celebrate my wife s bday and it was delicious. It lived up to the name and the quality and service was exceptional. I ll be back here again. Try everything on the menu. Giancarlo was my server and he was so patient explaining a strategy to ordering our meal. Thank you! We will be back again.

took my bf here for his birthday ! the atmosphere was beautiful, you really feel like its a special occasion and youre getting the fine dining experience. the service was great, our waiter was attentive and answered a bunch of questions we had. to start, we ordered 2 appetizers- the recco focaccia, and the endive and pear salad (as recommended to us by our waiter). the recco focaccia was very good. it was served warm, the cheese was flavourful with the perfect amount of salt, and the focaccia was light and crispy. i thought the portion was a little small for the price though ($28). the endive and pear salad wasnt my favourite, it was too bitter for my taste. for our main, we ordered the seafood platter. my bf loves seafood, and he said some of the bites were the best seafood hes had. im not the biggest fan of seafood, but i could tell that everything was super high quality, and i still enjoyed everything on the plate. the octopus especially impressed me, as ive never had octopus that so buttery and smooth. the seafood platter is a great option to try a variety of different items and i think its pretty good value. for dessert, we got the tiramisu. prettiest tiramisu ive ever had. taste wise, it was pretty good, but i didnt think it was stand out. overall osteria giulia was a nice experience. even though not all the dishes were suited to my taste, you can tell what youre getting is quality

Always lives up to its reputation - food, service, wine list, and venue are excellent. The only negative is it can be a little noisy.

Dining at Osteria Giulia was one of the most extraordinary fine-dining experiences I ve recently had in Toronto. The food, wine selection, ambience, and service was exactly what I expected from a Michelin-stared restaurant.

Pretty average but very expensive

Amazing time at this restaurant ! Food was delish! The simplistic but warm decor was on point . 5/5 for taste, presentation, explanation ! Special thanks to their sommelier ! Handled a 99 Gaja for us with expertise and recommend all the best dishes to pair it with ! Also to the manager who was very social and kind ! Saw her clearing tables , hosting , checking up on tables . Very impressive lady ! Good job went back again for my bday this year . We fly to Toronto just for this ! Delicious . The atmosphere, cuisine , drinks service everything is top notch ! 100/10

We finally made it to this restaurant we d heard so many good things about, and it did not disappoint! From start to finish, everything was a treat. We kicked things off with the veal carpaccio light yet flavorful, setting the perfect tone. The focaccia was heavenly with its thin, crispy crust and melted cheese. We d ordered Brussels sprouts, but thanks to a little mix-up, we also got cauliflower on the house. Both were great, though the Brussels sprouts totally stole the show. For the main, we tried the sea bass, which was well-prepared, though I would ve liked a bit more punch in the seasoning. The Lorighittas Al Mare pasta, hand-braided with calamari, was as unique as it was delicious. And the Mille-Feuille for dessert..Absolute perfection with its refreshing mango and passion fruit flavors. This place lives up to the hype highly recommend!

Ate the sea bass. Got major food poisoning. Very surprising for this type of restaurant.

Had a lovely couples bites and apertivos at the bar - bartender Santiago was extremely knowledgable and friendly. Great, highly professional, totally unpretentious. Entirely deserving of the recognition they receive. Only gripe - bizarre washroom labeling Food

Sure. Okay. Maybe a bit too woo woo for me. Excellent staff.

I forgot the proper names of the dishes so I ll just describe them: we got the focaccia, the salad pictured, the seafood platter pictured and the tiramisu. I thought the food was great though the portions were definitely on the smaller side for the price, I will say though, that this can be excused by the obvious high quality of the different dishes. I thought the tiramisu and seafood platter were the highlights of the meal and both extremely delicious so I definitely recommend getting them both. The place is designed beautifully and provides a classic and romantic atmosphere, great for dates. One thing that bothered me a little was that I asked if I can pack up the scallop shell as it is a ritual my girlfriend and I partake in for certain restaurants as the shell serves as a nice piece of memorabilia from our dates (we ve not been refused this request at any other restaurant) but we were rejected and then told if we want we can go buy a scallop from eataly and keep the shell from that one. I understand this is a Michelin star restaurant and it was a little bit of an odd request, but again, at other Michelin starred restaurant we ve visited this request has not been rejected. I felt as though the response soured the mood a little and was a little silly considering the price and prestige of the place. Regardless it is a nice place for a date with excellent fresh Italian food.

Highly recommend their Lamb Chop, Pear Baba, and Tiramisu. My friend is also a big fan of the Focaccia di Recco. The lamb chops, ordered medium rare, were perfectly executed aromatic and beautifully seasoned. I appreciate the restraint with sauces on grilled red meat, allowing the flavors to shine through. Sometimes, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. The portions are generous, so be sure to save room for dessert! We encountered a slight hiccup with food running, but their service team handled it promptly and professionally. One small suggestion: it would be great to see a few more options for wine by the glass to pair with the excellent dishes.

We had high expectations for Osteria Giulia given its Michelin recognition, but unfortunately, the experience fell far short. The food quality was surprisingly subpar, with dishes that lacked refinement and balance. The seafood platter, in particular, was overwhelmingly salty, masking the natural flavors we were hoping to enjoy. For the price and reputation, we expected much better. Definitely not worth the hype.

The octopus and squid were too salty. And the service was not friendly at all. Our friend was 5 min late and they tried to stop her from entering. Alcohol taste of tiramisu is too strong.

This was our first visit to what was supposed to be a Michelin star restaurant. Unfortunately, it was nothing but a disappointment. The staff were not welcoming, not a single smile all night. The food was less than average! The tomato salad was probably the best thing we had all night!!

Exceptional night at Giulia. The food was excellent and the service even better. Perfect spot to celebrate something special over a memorable meal.

Outstanding from start to finish!

Traditional Italian food presented in a contemporary fashion. Everything was delicious. The staff are welcoming, thoughtful, and give great recommendations. The vibe is warm and buzzy. Cute for a date night or special occasion.

Appetizers were better than the entrees. Overpriced for the food, but service was great

Always love coming here. Excellent service and the food is phenomenal.

From start to finish, an absolutely incredible experience. The service was top tier (knowledgeable, professional, and great attitude). The food was an experience in itself. Each dish that came to our table was better than the last. If you haven t had the opportunity to dine at Osteria Giulia, I would highly recommend that you book a table today & enjoy!

Had a great time during my visit with a group of friends! Food and service were top notch. Will definitely be back

Amazing experience..cordial and professional . Food was exquisite

Osteria Giulia is an outstanding example of Italian fine dining in Toronto. With unparalleled service, and a diverse and delicious menu the food was phenomenal. Highly recommend any of the pastas, but particularly enjoyed the trofie and all of the antipasto options are to die for.

If you are a foodie like me, you will love it! The dining experience at this restaurant is nothing short of spectacular. Every dish, starting with Focaccia di Recco & Burrata, to the first course of Risotto allAstice, to the Frutti di Mare & Agnello ending with the dolce, is a feast for the eyes and a delight for the palate. The menu itself is varied and offers a wide range of choices for those seeking the flavours of Italian cuisine. The service is impeccable, as is the perfect choice of wines to complete the extraordinary experience. I loved the cozy atmosphere, the soft lighting and elegant decor, create the perfect ambiance for any special occasion.

Amazing food and great atmosphere!

My friend and I had the most amazing experience at Osteria Giulia. We wanted to try it for a very long time, especially after it received a Michelin star and we finally made it! Every dish was so delicious and cooked to perfection. My top favorites were the vitello tonnato and the spaghetti neri ai gamberi. The service team was top-class. Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. The restaurant is stunningly designed! A perfect balance between sophisticated chic and cozy. Every detail was well thought through. Fine-dining at its best! Cant wait to go back.

Excellent service and the food was phenomenal. Highly recommend I will be back.

I cant say enough good things about the service at this restaurant. The staff here truly cares about their guests. Will be back again Food : 5/5

Food was fantastic! Our server was amazing, beautiful smile, very hospitable, and the manager greeted us at the table. We will most definitely return! Vegetarian options: Great selection for all types. Dietary restrictions: Great selection for all types.

Had an outstanding experience!! From cocktails to dessert... service staff is extreamly professional and food is divine. Keep up the hard work Marco and team. You truely deserve the Michlein star! Food

Great service

My husband and I recently enjoyed a date night at Osteria Giulia, and had an amazing evening. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm ambiance and an inviting atmosphere, perfect for a cozy evening out. Our server, Melissa, was a highlight of the night. Her knowledge of the menu and passion for the food made every dish sound irresistible. Her attention to detail and impeccable service made us feel like VIPs throughout the evening. The food itself was outstanding delicate, fresh pasta, rich flavors. We started with their burrata, which was incredibly creamy, and moved on to the tagliatelle with fresh truffle yum! Melissa guided us through the menu with ease - every course was timed perfectly and it made the evening feel relaxed and indulgent. Osteria Giulia is a gem, thank you for the experience. Perfect for our first date night in a long time without the kids. We can t wait to return!

Absolutely the best! I went for dinner with my boyfriend for my birthday and the food was amazing: every plate tells a story and has a unique taste! Scallops are a must try and also Paccheri but my favourite thing was the focaccia with stracchino that made me fall in love! Atmosphere is very soft and romantic and staff is friendly and kind. 100% recommend!

One of the few restaurants in Toronto whose interior isnt the only thing good about it. The food was fresh and cooked and seasoned well with decent service (some servers were quite pretentious while others much nicer) and clean interior makes for a great dinner environment. The only thing that I (personally) did not like was how OVERWHELMING and incredibly strong at the alcohol flavour in the tiramisu was. If you like your dessert to taste like literal booze, then its for you Albeit, it all comes at a high price, the food wont leave you disappointed like many other restaurants in the city

What a delightful feast! Everything was amazing. Alessandro the sommelier picked the perfect wines for us and Will our server was exceptional. Our favorites were probably the scallop crudo, vitello tonnato, lobster risotto and the gorgeous bone in striploin! Oh and dessert was out of this world yummy. This was our first time getting together with the whole family in 5 years and it was certainly one to remember. Thank you so much Osteria Giulia for your attention to every detail! You are a very special restaurant and a must try in Toronto! Can wait to return!

Went for an early sitting. Our server made us feel like they didnt want us there. Was not very welcoming. When we ordered a few dishes and were met with an arrogant tone mentioning the portion sizes are small a second time. Our drinks were good. We were not impressed with any of our dishes, they were just OK. We didnt finish a couple of them. The space itself was nice, but would not go back.

We had a fantastic meal. The service was flawless and the room was minimal but incredibly relaxing.

The food was simply amazing and the service was impeccable. Both the somaliers were amazing. Just a great experience always!

My husband and I loved each and every dish. The pasta was even better than pasta weve tried in Italy. In fact, the squid ink pasta in particular was the best pasta Ive tasted in my life and prepared to perfection. The ambiance was lovely, comfortable, and romantic.

The front of the restaurant does not look much, but it is fantastic inside. Service is professional and warm, food is great. The cocktails are top notch, I highly recommend the old fashion, the preparation is a show by itself.

We had a great time at Giulia! While the ambiance, and service were amazing, the food didnt live up to its expectation. The food was still very, very good, but not wow.

Visited last year for my anniversary dinner with my girlfriend. Stunning location, stellar ambience, and very charismatic staff. We were seated next to the kitchen, so it was a bit noisy and we had people constantly walking past us, so the dinner didn t feel as intimate. The food was alright, the focaccia di recco and the vitello tonnato were standouts. We weren t the biggest fan of the burrata and we found the bread to be a bit stale. The pasta dishes were just average, they didn t blow us away. We did not like the mille-feuille at all. Overall, a pricey spot. Not sure if it s worth the value. Definitely worth a try if you care about Michelin stars. I just prefer Giulietta over Osteria.

Fantastic dinner as always - mushroom ravioli was superb

It really seems like they hand out michelin stars to just about any restaurant. This place really made me reconsider the luxurious dining experience of a Michelin restaurant. The appearance and ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. The food however, is very sub par. We ordered the foccacia, insalata di pomodori, burrata e cavali and tortolloni ai funghi. The foccacia was bland and flavorless. The insalata di pomodori had an insultingly small amount of ricotta for a dish describing itself having ricotta. The pasta was nothing special. We were also charged for several bottles of water however none of that was indicated before hand. The service was extremely slow. You would think a Michelin star restaurant would have top notch service, and it has been in the past for every michelin spot Ive been to. This place was a sordid disappointment in comparison.

We dined at Osteria Giulia for our wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the food, but we weren t blown away by any of the dishes. If we had to pick our favourite dish it would be the veal carpaccio. The Negroni cocktail was very nice. The service was very professional and on point for a Michelin star restaurant, but it didn t feel too warm and inviting.

My husband and I ate here for a 10 year wedding anniversary. The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish was delicious. We are big seafood lovers so the summer menu was perfect for us. Not only was the food incredible, the service was outstanding. They helped us decide which dishes to order based on our preferences. It was such a special evening! We highly recommend!

Excellent dining experience. Very high quality food and service. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Toronto.

I decided to finally go here for dinner after hearing about it so much and unfortunately it was a huge let down. The focaccia was the only decent thing we had but it was nothing groundbreaking, just bread and cheese and also very heavy on the salt. The pastas was incredibly underwhelming. It was so tasteless that I felt like I was eating baby food. Unfortunately I don t think I ll be going back anytime soon and there s many other fine dining spots in Toronto that are actually worth the price tag.

We really enjoyed our time here! The food was amazing and enjoyed everything we ordered. Service is exceptional. We were sat at the bar and Sam, the bar manager, is amazing and made sure our experience was phenomenal! He was super attentive and you can tell he s definitely passionate about his job. Thanks for the amazing experience and amazing recommendations! 1000% would recommend this place and I would say sit at the bar with Sam! You won t regret it!

This was our fourth Michelin star experience and were happy to report that this one is near the top in food quality and taste. The Classico Negroni may very well be the best Ive ever had. The Enzo was just okay. The beef carpaccio and focaccia both were fantastic. We were especially blown away by the carpaccio. The lorghittas Al mare pasta didnt look as presentable, but tasted 10/10. The rack of lamb is where its at though. Weve never in our lives had such delicious, moist, tender lamb ever. It is mind blowingly good. It serves 2. The broccolini was okay. Then came the desserts. The Millefoglie al cocco is a dessert on flavor steroids. The burst of tropical fruit in every bite was just mouth watering. The Tiramisu was also very good but may not be everyones cup of tea. Different from what were generally used to. Stronger on the caffeine and alcohol but very soft and delicious. They surprised us with complementary sparkling wine as we were celebrating a special occasion. Our server was great and knew the menu inside out. Gave us fantastic suggestions. The ambiance is cozy but minimalist. The restaurant does not feel overcrowded and has just the perfect amount of seating.

Osteria Giulia was the choice to celebrate my friends birthday. I was a little hesitant because I wasn t a big fan of Giulietta and I know they are sister restaurants. The big kicker here is that they charge you for water per person. If I m being charged for water, I want to see the bottle being opened in front of me. These bottles they use look like they are being reused and just filled with tap water. I learnt that mistake from dining at Giulietta, paying $30 for flat water due to the per person charge. Olive Castelvetrano - They do give a good portion of olives and they are nice to snack on while you are waiting for your dishes. Burrata e Caviale - probably the most expensive burrata I ve ever purchased, due to the caviar. The flavours were subtle, I would even go by saying flavourless. The sourdough beard that it was served with was ok, just a tad bit burnt. Tagliolini al Granchio - presentation was very nice. Not my favourite out of the two. The temperature of the pasta when it was served was lukewarm, which I didn t like. I also preferred if the crab was a little more chunkier I guess you could say, instead of shredded. Tortelloni ai Funghi - probably my favourite dish. This was the pasta to catch my eye. A lot of flavour and presented beautifully. I love a pasta with mushrooms. I was hoping they had a mushroom risotto, but they didn t. Service - definitely better than what I received at Giulietta. The server was professional and well versed on the menu, as well as the wine. I don t like how they have the tip option set to 20% being the lowest. Although service was good, I believe the tip option should start at 15%. Ambiance - I had to wait for my table, and we were asked to stand near the bar area. There s very little room to stand there as it appeared I was constantly getting in the way of the servers. I did like the lay out of restaurant and thought the lighting was good. My friend and I had a good time. I d come back if they bring back the mushroom risotto dish, but a one time visit is more than enough. Vegetarian options: Two vegetarian pasta options. Dietary restrictions: They did ask about allergies and such, so I m assuming they can accommodate certain dishes. I would hope. Parking: There s a parking lot at Davenport and Avenue. Otherwise there s street parking. Parking right by the restaurant will be difficult since it appears those few spots are always taken. Kid-friendliness: Please don t bring your kids here, there s no kids menu and I didn t see any high chairs. Definitely not a kid friendly restaurant. Unless your kid is well behaved and has a refined palette, probably not the place.

The presentation of the food was impressive, but unfortunately, the taste didn t live up to the hype. The Vitello tonnato was the only standout item. The dessert, however, was quite generic and could be easily found at any cake shop. Additionally, the customer service was lacking. Despite arriving early, we were ignored by the staff who simply looked at us a few times waiting outside without acknowledging our presence. The silence was quite off-putting.

Warm service and amazing flavours through every course. Presentation is next level. Get the caviar on the buratta

The experience started out rocky. I found the staff to be a bit cold. They also talk very fast and quietly, hard to catch the food descriptions. Though towards the end, they seemed to be more friendly and warm. The place is small, intimate but loud. It s a place to socialize not one to have a quiet relaxing meal at. Food wise; flavour was great, though not mind blowing. LORIGHITTAS al MARE - the seafood flavour was prominent but not overpowering. Seafood was cooked nicely as well, not chewy. Pasta was too undercooked. 20 more seconds would ve gone a long way. We found HAIR in this. You will see in the photo, but we moved it to the side. No we didn t tell management because I didn t want the hassle. It shouldn t have happened in the first place. PACCHERI alla GENOVESE - I loved this dish. It was savoury and the beef was so tender. But again pasta was too undercooked. I love my pasta al dente but this was just plain undercooked tbh. I can appreciate however their pasta was made. It didn t cause me any bloating as pasta normally would. So whichever ingredients or method they use is wonderful. CARRE di AGNELLO per due - We asked for medium but received medium rare. Lamb was not seasoned after slicing. A bit of salt would ve done wonders. I get why this restaurant received a Michelin star, but on the other hand I question why it did as well. I had a good enough experience but it was far from Michelin star standard experience. They don t run a tight ship. Consistency and quality are questionable. There are plenty others that are more deserving of the recognition.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I started to smell a very bad odor, as if the restaurant had been flooded and they reopened the place and started serving without eliminating the smell of dirty water. This disturbing smell negatively affected our dining experience and raised serious doubts about the hygiene standards of the entire restaurant. I do not recommend visiting this restaurant until they fix this issue.

The room was a bit noisy due to its design. The dishes were of good quality, but served at the wrong temperature. The dessert was fine, though the tiramisu might have been too heavy on the caffeine. The pasta was acceptable, but nothing special. The service was somewhat mediocre, even inadequate for this type of cuisine. You have to ask for things multiple times, and the staff cant distinguish between Parmesan and Pecorino. The prices are much too high for a type of cuisine you could easily make at home. $28 for focaccia is simply not justified

The food is outstanding. 9 out of 10

Flavors are not balanced, the food is not up to par, service timing could use some improvements. Seating was uncomfortable. Total disappointment

Fantastic food and well deserving of a Michelin star.

We recently dined here to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The food, service and ambiance made the occasion extra special. Every dish was plated beautifully and every bite was delectable.

Came for my mother s birthday. Everything was amazing! Burrata was *chefs kiss* as was the rack of lamb. And our server Giancarlo was such a delight. Will definitely be back again!

Wonderful experience, even on my own. They didnt seem resentful even though I was essentially blocking two spots at the bar. The food was out of this world. The bartender who was also my server was so nice and willing to answer all my questions and chat about the food/drink. Started with the sbagliato Bianco, scallop crudo and the signature filled focaccia (which I dipped into the scallop vinaigrette). Then the mushroom tortellini and the millefeuille for dessert. Would go again to try more!

Pretty interior, a little loud but it is what it is. Service was solid, the staff were very attentive. Food was very good; risotto was absolutely outstanding but otherwise nothing really blew us away.

One of the best meal we have had in Toronto!

Best pasta Ive had in Toronto

Really enjoyed eating here the food and service were great, and I loved the interior design of the restaurant as well. Favourite dish of the night was probably the hand braided pasta with squid.

The food is amazing, the venue is very beautiful and service it s so good. Tory made our night amazing, she was super attentive and her recommendations were delicious. I d say it s the best Italian in Toronto, highly recommended. Food : 5/5

We had a very good meal at Osteria Giulia for a friends milestone birthday. We ordered a number of items to share (ranging from burrata to seafood to pasta to dessert and more), and everything was yummy. We previously went to sister restaurant Giulietta (this was several years ago, prepandemic), and I personally found that that meal was more memorable, and that the atmosphere and service were more authentic. Service was attentive and friendly. We sat by the bar at the front; my friend booked reservations as soon as they opened up booking for that date, but even then, all the dining room seats had been taken already. It goes without saying for any popular Toronto eatery let alone one with a Michelin star, but definitely book ahead! Street parking is available but like many other neighborhoods, can be busy during peak hours and weekends, so best to plan some extra time to find parking.

I would say one of the best Italian restaurants in Toronto. Serving up elevated Italian dishes with a delicious and unique cocktail variety. Everything is 10/10

Not only a great restaurant, but one of the best I have ever been to, the food is simple and simply spectacular, the SeaBass is the best I have ever eaten, the service is top-notch, my waiter who I dont remember his name but I do remember It is of Brazilian origin, it made us a warm and pleasant experience. Definitely deserved all the awards it has, a true gem.

Food was good and tasted great but for the price and it being michelin star it was very overrated! It really was nothing special

Great food! Especially loved the lamb and home-made pasta!

Overall probably a 3.5, Italian sashimi is super inferior and the portion size would make sense if you were feeding a table of toddlers. Paid $28 for a hybrid panzerotti pita. Aside from that, the restaurant is very pretty and the short rib pasta tasted delicious.

One of the best places in town. The service is superb, the food is incredible - definitely not your typical Italian restaurant. This is an upscale restaurant.

Amazing ambience. Amazing food. World class service and consideration on a special day.

Osteria Giulia is a cozy and authentic Michelin-starred Italian restaurant in Toronto. The menu offers a delightful variety of dishes, from pasta and pizza to fresh salads. My wife and I came here for our 2nd wedding anniversary, and our dining experience was exceptional. Our server Mackenzie was spectacular, extremely knowledgeable, and recommended everything for us. The owner David Minicucci went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful evening. The service was incredible, and the minimal yet charming decor added to the ambiance. Definitely a 5-star experience.

The design was very beautiful. Warm, inviting and peaceful. Hats off to the interior designers here. The food fell short. Had the flavorless Burrata with caviar, the carpaccio with tuna cream which was rich and not a favorable combination, the squid pasta (underwhelming) and the lobster risotto which was great. Their selection of wines was very interesting. Spouse had an Amalfi coast wine that was just fascinating. The wines were actually our favorite part of the dinner. The service was surprisingly sub par. Server has absolutely zero personality. Wine list was taken away before we ordered wine, two dishes came out and I still was unable to order wine and had to flag another server down, had to flag another server down for some salt for the flavorless burrata and caviar and finally; with 50 minutes in our table time, our server comes over while my spouse is still drinking tea (because theres no decaf coffee [so not Italian of them]) and slaps the cheque down on the table but stops herself right before it hits and pulls back; will you guys be having anything else? No, you clearly want us out and want your tip money. If you want really good Italian food that is not pretentious and trying to hard, go to Blu. That place is a good time and around the same price for a better meal.

Like many others, I was so excited to finally experience Osteria Giulia for my Birthday Dinner, but disappointed to discover how average the cuisine is. I found the flavour profiles and textures at times just did not hit the mark. Food was brought out quickly so we felt rushed. Interior design was stunning. There was no single dish that we were overly impressed with. Veal Carpaccio - good but the fish sauce made for an overall odd pairing. Burrata - simple dish, lacked flavour, bread was grilled too much resulting in a charred / burnt taste. Lobster Risotto - our most enjoyed dish. Texture of lobster was perfect, crispy artichokes were a lovely textural component to the dish. Squid Pasta - I found the seafood had a nice consistency but too soft and light for the tough ropey hand made pasta noodles. The flavour lacked depth and was not thrilling as you would expect a unique dish like this too taste. The service is great in general, most staff are anticipating your needs with exception to our server who had no personality, no passion and brought the check out before we were finished (even though we still had plenty of time for our time blocked reservation). The menu pricing does not justified the flavours of the food. would not recommend this restaurant and will not plan to return.

Had the Quebec Ragu and one of the best dishes of pasta Ive EVER HAD!!!!

I had so high expectations for this restaurant that I was a little disappointed. The seafood pasta is below the standard. Not recommended. The most delicious is the dessert MILLEFOGLIE al COCCO. The decoration is succinct and elegant, suitable for taking pics who would like to drink. But not for food.

Sister restaurant of Giulieta. Food is execellent here and the crowd here are more upscale and very good ambience. Dessert patries are delicious too. HIghly recommended.

They have good food but I dont think its worth a Michelin. I dont know how its rated so high. I wouldnt go back, not worth the time & money.

Finally I get to try this 2022 Michelin 1 star restaurant. We ordered grilled seafood platter and crab with white asparagus risotto. The seafood platter has 2 scallops, prawn, Argentina shrimp, monkfish, seabass and octopus. It is very good, but I do feel a bit on the expensive side. Crab and asparagus risotto is delicious, but portion is small. Both desserts we have are amazing as well! The only down side is we order the tap water, and still charge $3 per person. If we know that, we will rather take sparkling water. Overall experience is good!

Solid 4 stars. The place is very beautiful. I appreciate the clean minimalistic esthetic. The service was good, the waiter was very knowledgeable and presented the options well. It does, however, fall short on the food. I expected much more given it has a Michelin star for 2 consecutive years. I felt that the food was good but it was nothing special. The portions are very small too. The price is also quite high, and I don t mind spending more for the experience, but I wouldn t return to this restaurant. More of a one time stop The desert was exceptional though.

Outstanding! Cannot say enough, but I booked again. Nuff said Food : 5/5

This is an incredible experience! There are absolutely no words to describe the experience that comes with dining here. Outstanding! There service is amazing as well. No wonder its hard to get a table...Toronto..this one is hard to beat! Thank you for the complimentary Proseco for our celebration

This team is clicking on all cylinders. Professional, discreet and playful service with the food to match. A winning combination. Thank you to the whole team! We can t wait to come back

The service staff is very enthusiastic and the dining atmosphere is very good, but the seats are a bit crowded. The grilled lamb chops are tender and juicy, which is very suitable for a gathering environment.

This was an experience!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! 1 Michelin star restaurant. Had the tasting menu and they accommodated all our food allergies etc. Every dish was amazing. Definitely coming back again. Celebrated 4 birthdays and a wedding at this dinner and we all got dessert with candles!

Amazing food and service. Top 3 restaurants in TO.

It is a beautifully designed dining area (with a terrible entrance). Upon excitedly entering the restaurant the hostess attitude single handily killed the vibe in addition to letting us to know our table wasn t ready for our 7pm reservation. Seats at the bar would have been appropriate, as it was clearly available; instead we were told to wait on the side of the bar and the hostess put drink menus on the window sill. We dragged 2 bar chairs over ourselves to our window sill seat The bar tenders didn t pay us any attention for a while. I ordered a dirty martini - oddly he gave me an empty glass and the martini in a single serving wine carafe on ice (I poured the martini myself - weird af). The plates we ordered was great, our server was lovely. The sommelier was no where to be found and someone else(who knows who this guy was) suggested some poor pairings like a sparkling rose with veal? Ridiculous to have the same glasses for all wines - blasphemy to pour sparkling into a Bordeaux glass. We were not done our meal, and was advised they needed the table for the 9pm reso - even though we were seated almost 30 min late! I was more than happy to leave at this restaurant at this point. Manager came to our table, was courteous and did the best she could - comped our drinks and some gave us some dessert for the road.

Most of the food are a bit salty!

The ultimate cocktail , thank you Lose (name ?) message to our bartender. Thank you for the great service , and indulging me in a world tour of cocktail drink, in particular the one which was not on the menu. This was our first time sitting at the bar , looking back I m sorry I didn t do it sooner . It was a pleasure to watch the bartenders at work .I should mention the food was absolutely amazing . Every dish served was completed to perfection . Truth be told the bartender serving us really made ordering easy . That said my guest and I were able to enjoy ourselves chatting . So, if you re looking for a great place to dine , and drink you have to hit the bar ! Service , food and drinks go beyond basic . The cons, not a cheap place to dine . The PRO S , it s worth it !!!

Good place for special occasions. Portions are smaller than other high end, but worth it

A memorable evening with impeccable service and attention to detail and an abundance of wow that s incredible. A special thank you to Tory who chose every dish for our table of 6 and Dave Salter for making our table feel special.

My husband and I celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary here last night and we were absolutely blown away, Perfection! We were greeted and shown our table immediately. They brought us each a complimentary glass of Prosecco to celebrate the occasion. The service was absolutely impeccable;friendly, knowledgeable, and precise. The food was absolutely AMAZING! We ordered the following: Acciughe e Burro Burrata e Caviale Trofie al Pesto Genovese Carre di Agnello (per due) Patate Arrosto Monte Bianco Everything was on point and exceeded expectations. I ve had many Monte Bianco s (Mont Blanc) mostly in Paris and this one put all others to shame. We will definitely be back and will be telling our friends of our spectacular experience. Compliments to the chef, the front of house staff and management.

My girlfriend and I got the following: BURRATA and CAVIAR RECCO FOCACCIA TROFIE with GENOVESE PESTO PACCHERI alla GENOVESE TIRAMISU alla GIULIA TORTA al PISTACHIO My table was served by Giancarlo, who did a wonderful job providing excellent service. In terms of food, the burrata and caviar combination is great. As for the pasta s ordered, we were both really fond of PACCHERI alla GENOVESE. Only con for was the tiramisu. Very strong alcohol tasting tiramisu which some would like; just not for me. Service and ambience of the restaurant is the selling point in my opinion. My gf also had a few drinks I can t recall that she also enjoyed. Overall, would recommend checking this place out.

Another gem in Toronto! The Trofie al Pesto Genovese is one of my absolute favourite pasta dishes ever. We ordered the focaccia and the insalata as appetizers and were not disappointed. Michelin ranked and affordable (compared to others) we will definitely be back! Food

Our shared appetizer, main courses, and dessert touched the stratosphere. Elegant, mouthwatering, exceptional Food

good pasta. service is alright kind of rude

Late review. Visited 9/2023 so maybe (hoping) improvements have been made to group experiences. Really wanted to love this place but did not. Came in for a friend s birthday. Server had a little attitude and was very condescending when asked if they could make some customizations to their espresso martini. It was a set menu, apps were delicious, but mains were very mediocre. Lamb quality was good but under seasoned. Seafood (shrimp etc) were soooo fishy it didn t seem fresh or they added more fish sauce to the sauce? I m a big seafood fan and was very disappointed. Dessert was okay. Tiramisu was heavy on the booze so it s really up to your preference. Overall, didn t think this was worth the cost.

Vibe and service are good. Food only has small portion .

It seems nearly impossible to have a bad time at chef Rob Rossi s restaurant , food was to perfection , seafood was fresh and testy , the squid ink spaghetti to die for, pleasant staff higly recommended ..

A fabulous evening! The food was delicious and we were very well taken care of by David Salter and Sam. I will definitely be back for that outrageous wild squid pasta and the service!

This is my first time at this Michelin one-star restaurant. As a loyal fan of Italian cuisine, I adore this place. The pasta is my favorite, and the seafood platter is incredibly fresh. The cheese pizza has a slight salty flavor, which makes it delicious.

Incredible meal, there were four of us for dinner, exceptional service, Tori was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the four course meal. There was a breadth of selection of cocktails and wine including for those preferring nonalcoholic beverages. An amazing evening.

The service is always great here from my experience. We ordered an appetizer to share, two pasta dishes and a dessert to share as well as a few drinks. The drinks were really good, and so was the appetizer. One of two pastas was underdone, we hadn t even finished half of it and sent it back and ordered another one instead. We were still charged for the undercooked pasta.

Server was amazing. Overall super friendly! The Lobster Ravioli was one of the best foods Ive ever had

Splendid! This was our second time dining at Giulia, and both times were exceptional!

Osteria Giulia is my favorite restaurant in Toronto. It never disappoints with its friendly and attentive service, as well as the food. I truly enjoyed the insalata di agrumi and the trenette with clams. My son had the crudo seafood and the branzino. Everything was perfect. The tiramisu and Mont Bianco desserts were heavenly. I always enjoy the cocktails and dessert wines. Looking forward to my next visit!

Lovely experience! Service was impeccable from the minute we arrived, restaurant is beautifully designed but feels quite cozy. The dessert and the lamb chops were my favorite. That said, not sure the quantity of food was necessarily worth the steep prices, but the quality was definitely up there and great experience overall.

Ive made several visits to this restaurant and is definitely one of my favourite michelin star restarants in Toronto :) Watermelon lemonade is extremely refreshing. Steak, pasta, appetizers, octopus, desserts are all amazing. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff makes the dining experience even more enjoyable

I had very high expectations for this place, but unfortunately it fell short for a Michelin Starred restaurant. Our waiter Will was good, but service was slow. To get drinks took forever and the pace our food was brought out was too rushed. Each dish had its own unique flavor, but nothing I can say that was memorable aside from the beet salad and tiramisu. We ordered quite a bit, and we were aware of the time limit to dine, but after paying almost 2k on dinner and being kicked out in an extremely rude manor by the manager was uncalled for. Overrated and overpriced. Dietary restrictions: Will accommodate all requests.

Excellent food and service Perhaps its a problem with the structure of the restaurant, where voices echo, but its quite noisy for a Michelin restaurant. Its a little disappointing that the service charge is only over 20%. However, the restaurant is worth more than that. I want to repeat it even from a distance

Amazing restaurant that lives up to the Michelin standard. Unique, delicious food, beautiful, welcoming atmosphere, beyond exceptional service. Will definitely be back! Lot of people posting bad reviews here, acting like critics and upon checking their profiles, they give 5 stars to extremely mediocre, if not bad restaurants. Your perception and taste is subpar, and your reviews are misleading

Having just been let down by a Toronto staple and realizing that I never shared my thoughts on one of the greatest dining experiences that Ive ever had in my life while at Osteria Giulia, I felt compelled to share my praise today. This meal was over a year ago and I still think about it to this day. The food, the atmosphere, the service - all of it was pristine. I can remeber the entire meal from start to finish, all centred around the incredible Sea Urchin based pasta dish that blew me away. Vibrant and colourful dishes that got better and better with each bite. Stunning ingredients, immense love and creativity have gone into this ever growing menu. My God... the Lamb Chops... I almost forgot about that little bite of divinity! Breathtaking! That said, the food was only the beginning. The staff is without question some of the best in the city and most certainly among the best Ive experienced anywhere in the world. Always attentive but never invasive, always positive and more than happy to assist with any questions or recommendations. The service is so damn good here that youre almost certainly going to be depressed by the service elsewhere in the city after dining at Osteria Giulia. Additionally, everyone seems like a master of their craft here. Be it the table service and the front of the house or the culinary wizards in the back, this is the type of atmosphere where you know everyone is working to improve and exceed expectations with each and every table. Since dining here Ive recommended it to everyone. Ive sent my parents here for a lovely dinner and their praise echoes my own. If you want something special in your life and a night like no other, Osteria Giulia is the place to be.

Great option for Italian food. The tiramisu is really the best one I ve had in my life; even after 2 weeks in Milan. Not perfect though; for a one star Michelin restaurant, my risotto came a bit cold and my sparkling water was cleaned during my quick trip to the restroom. They provided water free of charge but it was still. If you are seated by the bar you might end up next to the closet where people drop their coats. Good view on the bar.

My partner and I went here expecting Michelin star quality. We were very disappointed. The lamb was the only dish we thought was spectacular but the rest did not live up to the price tag. The cherry on top was our rude waiter. Came by the table maybe once and didn t refill our water at all. Didn t seem like she wanted us to be there. If you want Michelin star quality try Quetzal we had a much better experience there.

There s a reason why this is as Michelin restaurant! End to end, the experience was wonderful. The staff was on point and tended to every need. The food was incredible. A must try is the endive salad, the lamb and the tiramisu. You get what you pay for here, and the quality is worth the $. The lamb melted in your mouth; the tiramisu is probably the best I ve ever had. Only downside, I didn t love the focaccia. It s good, but I preferred the endive salad over it

We had dinner last night here. The food and drinks were amazing and the service was impeccable. The pasta and vodka cocktails were the highlight. Thank you for a wonderful night

It s been my third visit. I absolutely love this place. Great food and exceptional service. The flatbread is a must have always, and the seasonal truffle risotto was delicious. Highly recommend the tiramisu too.

Excellent food and presentation Wanted to try a long time ago before they ended up getting Michelin recognition and finally found time and able to reserve. Our favourite was the ravioli with lobster, just perfecttt!! The veal carpaccio was also up to the hype. Lamb rack was good but we personally think would need a side with it. Overall great experience and worth the price :)

Amazing food, wine list, service and vibe. Best restaurant in Toronto!!

Good food. Fair portions. Nice interior decor. Food

2 words: Overrated. Overpriced

Found the staff to be extrememly friendly. Impressed by how well everyone supported one another in the pursuit of an exemplary experience for all. Food was amazing!

Great experience, loved everything about it from the service, to the ambiance to the food. Their pasta, burrata and tuna cruso is to die for.

Excellent food , good service. we were seated at the bar, the service was not exceptional, so I would suggest opting for a main table for an improved dining experience. The vegetarian pasta with pesto was exceptionally well-prepared, offering perfect portion sizes - not too large nor too small. The pesto was incredibly fresh, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. The combination of pistachio cake and raspberry was a delightful pairing, with the tartness of the sorbet balancing the richness of the pistachio cake. I would definitely return solely for the outstanding pesto pasta

Not good. You could do better even at a middling price point.

I had high expectation after experiencing a few other Michelin star restaurants. We were seated at the bar area, the server had to constantly walk behind me to grab things from the bar or to service the seats next to me. Would recommend real table seating for better experience. We ordered 4 dishes, only the truffle risotto gave us a wow feeling as expected from a Michelin star restaurant. Service is also just meh. I asked for my pasta to the soft, and it came out to be al dente. Instead of bringing a solution, they just explained that they extended the cooking time and offered no resolution. I always have the same request on pastas when visiting Italian restaurants in Toronto, and by far this is the worst experience Ive had. Atmosphere at the restaurant was good and excellent for date night.

Bartender was amazing. He was very knowledgable and was very helpful. Food was fantastic

Osteria Giulia is our favorite restaurant and we have enjoyed the impeccable food, service and atmosphere countless times. Dave and Rob are masters at their craft. Great vibes !! This place is a must!!

The food was good. It was good but not mind blowing especially when taking price into consideration. Really small portions. It s better than average and good quality experience but just really didn t hit the spot, I didn t find it incredible. We left hungry still and spent quite a bit of money.

Walked away from dinner here in 2022 and thought to myself this will earn some Michelin recognition and it did not long after the same year . To each their own but this place is indeed special. I get you cant please everyone I suppose. The food is so focused and exemplary. I think of it often. What a great way to explore the Liguria region. Blessed.

We had a wonderful experience at Osteria Giulia, again. Dishes were creative with ingredients that are thoughtfully composed. The ambiance was cozy, boasting contemporary design with some traditional accents. Our sever Daniel was exceptional. After providing a detailed overview of the menu, he made fabulous recommendations suited towards our preferences. I highly recommend this restaurant for a casual dinner or a special occasion.

The food and atmosphere are exceptional. The service, however, really set this restaurant apart and gave us a wonderful experience. We showed up on a busy Thursday night the week before the holidays, and discovered to my horror that I had made the reservation for the wrong week. They then went above and beyond to figure out a way to seat us, thinking a table would free up in about half an hour. It ended up taking almost 90 minutes for a space to free up for us, but we were served drinks, the staff checked in on us regularly and overall time passed quickly until they were able to squeeze us in. It was my boyfriends birthday and I had made the reservation weeks in advance so they really helped save the night and turn what could have been a huge disappointment into a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back

Michelin star presentation and taste of food for sure! We dined in the summer and I took some lovely photos the food was delicious and the atmosphere was fantastic. Steak was good and we thought the fish and appetizers were all so gorgeously presented. Elegance of the food was very satisfying. The atmosphere was dim and set the mood of a very classy yet comforting restaurant.

Snagged a reservation for my birthday and was beyond excited to see if this restaurant lived up to the hype. We ordered to our hearts content as we wanted to try everything on the menu. The must try: the veal carpaccio, the grilled calamari, the rabbit ragu, and the seasonal pasta they had at the time with sea urchin. The ambiance was cozy, clean and intimate. The dessert we ordered was the millefoglie, which we were pretty excited about. However, we thought the millefoglie was 5/10. We think it would be worth trying the other desserts on the menu!

Food was good but not exceptional. Service was great.

One of the hottest (e.g. Hard to get reservation) and definitely the best Italian restaurant in Toronto. The service is a highlight. The waitress was very professional and great in providing recommendation. Checking in on us without being intrusive and was very kind. Food menu highlights: - Foccacia bread - Seafood platter - Rack of Lamb - Hand braided pasta - Mont blanc dessert Overall per person is just over $200 which is a little high, but justifiable given food quality, finesse, ambiance and perfection.

Absolutely amazing place!

Food was okay, service was good. We came here with a group of 4, maybe our expectations were high from our other Michelin restaurant experiences but it was nothing special. Food tasted good, but nothing out of the normal. I have eaten at one of their sister restaurants Giulietta which I though was better. Would i come back? probably not, as i have experienced better food and service at other Michelin star restaurants.

Inside appearance is flawless and clean. Staff pay special attention to you as soon as you enter and are very welcoming. We had bar seats, which were great because we got to enjoy the bar staff craft their many specialty cocktails. Menu was thoroughly expanded to us with reccomended dishes for first-time visitors. Starters were quite good. We had the acciughe e burro and foccaccia di recco. For mains, we had the rabbit ragu tagliatelle and seafood platter. Rabbit ragu was good, but not something I would go back for. Seafood platter was very good with high quality fish and seafood. I would definitely recommend it. We finished with the montebianco desert, which was unique and delicious. I gave 4 stars due to the price point. Food was quality, but nothing mind-blowing. 2 cocktails, 1 glass of wine, 1 brandy, with food, tax, and tip was $450. But, hey. Michelin star restaurant in Toronto.

Very good service and food was delicious as well. Highly recommend and I will visit again.

Fantastic food although a bit salty and service was Michelin star worthy

Insanely delicious!

Second time visiting Osteria Giulia, and this place never misses in all aspects. Amazing staff, phenomenal food.. highly recommend!

We very much enjoyed our dinner at Osteria Giulia. To start with, the cocktails were unique and interesting. The focaccia di recco and Vitelli tonato were outstanding as were the ravioli doppi and gnocchi tartuffo. However the paccheri genovese was a bit disappointing as the pasta was slightly overcooked and there was not enough of the topping. The service was terrific with the exception of the wine service, where we had to ask to have our glasses refilled more than once an easy solution would be to leave the bottle on the table. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.

I ve been wanting to try Osteria Giulia ever since they opened, even before they got their Michelin star. I finally got a reservation to come here for my birthday dinner and I was disappointed. TLDR: the service was bad and the food lacks depth and refinement and therefore isn t worth the money - it does not compare to other Michelin restaurants I ve been to. ~ I ve worked in restaurants and also have my fair share of experience dining at high-quality restaurants around the world. I m more than happy to pay lots for good food, but in my opinion this was just pretentious and not worth it. I wish I d chosen a different restaurant for my birthday, especially given the bad service The first thing I noticed when me & my boyfriend walked in was the not so friendly greeting by the hostess. I don t know what it was but the interaction with her was very underwhelming and gave me a bad first impression of the restaurant. she asked us if we wanted to do coat check when we were already at the table - it was a bit crowded and weird that she didn t ask us when we were at the front. Also no birthday greeting (from anyone throughout the whole night) but it was noted on the reservation. Just acknowledging these small details makes a huge difference to the overall experience! But also as a restaurant with a Michelin star, their standards should be a lot more refined with how they treat their guests. The waitress did not come by for a while after we sat, and when she did she also lacked any warmth or friendliness in greeting us, asking us how we were doing, if we ve dined here before or offering to walk us through the menu - she did not let us know about the specials they had that evening, and I know this because I heard another server telling his table when we were already halfway through our meal. This waitress was very standoffish and did the bare minimum. She literally took our orders, and besides me asking what she d recommend as an appetizer, that s the extent of the interaction we had with her. For this calibre of a restaurant she needs to be doing much more in terms of friendliness, making us feel welcome, and showing passion for the food they serve !! The rest of the staff who walked our food out to the table did a good job of explaining all the components of the dishes. I m mostly just very disappointed with the waitress. The food we had: foccacia - this was good. I love all things with cheese, but a little more salt would have made the flavour even better. calamari - this was decent but didn t feel refined based on my expectations for this place my bf had the vongole - he liked how it had lots of flavour lobster ravioli - also lots of flavour and I liked the corn and ricotta but again was missing that refinement I was expecting. it wasn t bad either but it s just not a dish I m obsessed with or would come back for Overall the flavours didn t feel balanced. Food was not bad but not up to my expectations. To be fair, I just came from having meals at some outstanding restaurants in New York and Miami so my expectations are high, but at the same time if you have a Michelin star you need to do better. If I m thinking of Italian restaurants to dine in Toronto, this would not be the first that comes to mind and I wouldn t recommend based on my experience. I could have chosen a different restaurant for my birthday, potentially spent way less, and been way more satisfied. because of the disappointment, we decided not to get dessert. when my boyfriend asked to get his wallet from his jacket in coat check, the waitress brought mine as well as if we were being rushed to leave. not a pleasant experience. on a positive note, I loved the beautiful interior! I feel bad saying all the criticism because I m sure the kitchen does put a lot of effort into their work and I really wanted to like this place but my experience was underwhelming and the food unfortunately wasn t amazing enough to make up for the bad service.

Best Italian food in town.

We came here for my birthday dinner the other night! The food is great- however not amazing. We started with the Foccacia, as well as the veal carpaccio (I would say it s one of the best I ve had). The service was good. The server somehow came up to us as the worst times. Of course the servers know the food and make recommendations but apparently everything on the menu was their favorite . The tiramisu was also great! Highly recommend as it s a little different from your typical tiramisu. Amazing ambiance- very dim lighting and a very visually appealing restaurant.

Food is very average. Definitely not worth the price point. Does not deserve Michelin star.

Food was okay, nothing spectacular. Expensive as you expect. Portion sizes are what you expect of this class of restaurant. Beware as they charge $3 per person for filtrated tap water. Would be nice if they mentioned it as sparkling water is the same price. Also, the bar seating is awful when you have people who are waiting for a table having a conversations a foot away from diners.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Osteria Giulia to celebrate my daughters 23rd birthday, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. This establishment deserves nothing less than a full 5-star rating for its exceptional food, impeccable service, and delightful atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine enthusiasm from the staff. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and catered to our every need throughout the evening. It was evident that they were committed to providing a top-notch dining experience. Lets talk about the food it was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish that graced our table was a masterpiece in both presentation and taste. The chefs creativity shone through in every bite, and the flavors were an exquisite blend of textures and ingredients. We savored every morsel, from the appetizers to the desserts. The menu offered a wide range of options, ensuring that there was something to please every palate. It was clear that the kitchen staff took great pride in their craft. The service was impeccable. Daniel our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided excellent recommendations. They ensured that our glasses were never empty, our plates were cleared promptly, and that we felt like valued guests throughout the evening. Our daughters birthday was made extra special with a surprise dessert presentation, complete with candles and a heartfelt rendition of Happy Birthday by the staff. Now, lets talk about the atmosphere. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, creating an elegant and cozy ambiance. The lighting was just right, allowing us to appreciate our surroundings and each others company without feeling rushed. It was a serene oasis where we could relax, enjoy our meal, and celebrate our daughters milestone birthday. Our experience at Osteria Giulia exceeded our expectations in every way. It was a truly memorable evening, and we couldnt have chosen a better place to celebrate our daughters 23rd birthday. If youre looking for a restaurant that offers outstanding food, impeccable service, and a delightful atmosphere, look no further. We will definitely be returning to Osteria Giulia for future special occasions and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

How is this place Michelin starred? The food managed to be salty and yet bland all at the same time. The chef is a tv personality and not even a real chef , and the food is beyond mediocre. The bread is not even made in house. Avoid this place at all costs, waste of money nothin but hype.

Great service and food! Service staff are excellent and attentive to every detail. Great spot for intimate dinners or even drinks! Parking: Parking available on neighbouring streets

Food was fantastic! The lamb was so soft and the clam pasta full of flavour. The carrot and bean side dishes were cooked to perfection. Our waitress was knowledgeable and very attentive. Definitely worth a special night out.

Food was ok, service from Fernando was exemplary <3 Boyfriend and I decided to try out Osteria Giulia on our trip to Toronto. Perhaps our expectations were too high from our experiences with other Michelin starred restaurants but we didn t find the food to be anything special. Everything tasted fine; the salad and dessert pictured were delicious but the mains were just fine. With 1 cocktail, 1 glass of (good!) wine, and 1 non-alcoholic drink (plus taxes and tip), dinner came out to around $400 for the two of us which was definitely not worth it. On the other hand, the rest of the dining experience we received from our server Fernando was truly fantastic. He was very welcoming and friendly, and obviously knew the menu very well. The appetizer salad was one of his recommendations and we really liked it. Though the food overall turned out to be a bit of a letdown, he ensured our evening was still enjoyable. Thank you Fernando!
