Great Italian food. Remarkable service. Saw a lady spent more than 5 minutes ironing the table cloth after the table was set. Perhaps the best tiramisu I have tasted so far. Pricy overall. Booking well in advance for dinner is almost a must. Parking can be a nightmare.

We found a hair in the burrata dish and it was touching the food, they made us a new one. While all the dishes were delicious overall, the experience didn’t quite meet the expectations we had for a Michelin-rated restaurant.

We had an amazing time at Osteria Giulia. Every dish we tried was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. For the quality of the food and the overall experience, it’s definitely worth the price. I’ll absolutely be back for more.

Our experience at Giulia was nothing short of exceptional.
Absolutely stellar service from friendly and knowledgeable staff, including several excellent recommendations.
All the dishes we sampled were beautifully crafted and delicious (shoutout to the lorighittas al mare). Our cocktails were also excellent! The atmosphere was stylish, cozy, and comfortable, and all in all, we were delighted with the experience and will be back. If you're looking for an elevated Italian dining experience, Giulia is the place to go!

Went for a late dinner on a Thursday. Bustling spot so could only get reservations at the bar. Service was prompt and attentive. An interesting selection of drinks and wines. The food menu was pared down but we selected two appetizers, two mains, a side, and a dessert. While the food and presentation was executed well, apart from the side, nothing approached extraordinary. One additional criticism is with respect to the tiramisu. While their rendition is enjoyable, if you are going to mess with a classic, especially at a higher end Italian restaurant you better be hitting it out of the park. Unfortunately it didn't reach the heights or a good classic tiramisu. Spent about $150pp without wine. At this price level, I think the experience is quite underwhelming.

We celebrated my 45th, the staff, service, food/drinks were outstanding! Highly recommend (along with their sister resto Giulietta) and are well deserving of the Michelin Star.

To make it even more of a special night, Drake made an appearance near the end of the night and it looked like he too was on a date night.

Enjoyable Contemporary Italian in Yorkville. Paccheri Alla Genovese and Focaccia Di Recco was great.
I would ask for the Vitello Tonnato Veal Carpaccio to put the salmon mousse on the side or separate bowl and just apply on individuals tastes.

This was a killer meal. Can't wait to try some more dishes next time I'm in town.

We finally managed to get a reservation at this much-hyped Michelin Star restaurant, and honestly, it left us wondering what all the fuss is about.

The ambience was definitely beautiful, with a well-designed interior and a nice vibe but it was surprisingly noisy, which made it hard to enjoy a relaxed conversation.

As for the food, it was pretty average. Nothing particularly memorable or unique, especially for a Michelin Star spot. The presentation was also quite basic something you’d expect from a regular restaurant, not one with such acclaim.

On the plus side, the service was good. The hosts were attentive and made sure we were comfortable throughout the evening.

All in all, it was a decent experience, but given how hard it is to book a table here, we expected more. It just didn’t live up to the hype. Wouldn’t visit again.

I echo some of the sentiments shared in other reviews. This restaurant doesn’t quite meet the standard one would expect from a Michelin Star establishment. It seems the distinction is being handed out a bit too generously these days

Dined here for a second time for a friend's birthday dinner and I must say, my attitude towards this restaurant has changed. The first time around, I had such a bad experience (in terms of service), so I was pretty skeptical about eating here again. However, the second time around - my thoughts and experience of this restaurant has totally altered. Firstly, the food is very delicious. My friends and I ordered more dishes which allowed us to taste a variety of flavours. Secondly, our service was fantastic. Our server was very friendly, knowledgeable and kept checking in on us. The first time I was here, our server did not do any of the above which honestly put me off. But having a great server totally transformed my second dining experience. Third, the ambience is great. I recommend coming here with a large group so you can share dishes and it's great for dates etc.

One of the best seafood pasta dishes I've ever had!! Also the radicchio salad, delicious. Wonderful vibes sitting at the bar.

Service is lacking BIG time! Very personal server and bartender, yet we seemed to be ignored by all other staff? No acknowledgement from management, no cordials from other staff, no small smiles or check ins.
