I just want to say thank you to Tori for serving us tonight. She was very attentive and consistently checked in on us throughout the evening. She provided clear descriptions of the menu and gave excellent recommendations. The food was amazing, and the ambiance was wonderful as well. We were accommodated right away and promptly shown to our seats.

Everything was up to a great standard. Even the lighting was good. Dim, but could still read the menu.
Daniel
Food, ambiance, location and Giancarlo's guidance throughout our dinner and dessert, all A+. We look forward to our next visit.
Dorothy
Service was impeccable. The food was a combination of elevated Italian & French with a twist, with fantastic wine to go with it.
Steph
Everything is delicious! The waiter was great at also suggesting cocktails and desserts that compliment your mood and food! It's my third time going and I plan on going again!
Sarah
By far a new favorite. From the food to the staff. Everything was so delicious. Daniel, Jean Carlo and Ammar were absolutely amazing. Thank you!

We stopped by for a birthday dinner.
Our server Anastasia was knowledgeable and attentive. This was the best meal I've had in a long while. Absolutely recommended.
I hope to return the next time I am in town.

Visited this lovely restaurant for an early Christmas dinner.
Personal favourite dish was the Spaghetti neri ai recci di mare (Uni Pasta). The lobster risotto and rack of lamb was also delicious. Finished with the Millefoglie al coco.
Definitely will be back!
Edit: revisited for a birthday dinner, still so delicious

Osteria Giulia isn’t just a great restaurant, it’s become a personal tradition for me. I’ve celebrated two consecutive birthdays here, and in a city packed with amazing spots, that says a lot. You don’t come back for milestone nights unless a place really delivers every time.
From the moment you walk in, the vibe is right. It’s stylish but relaxed, polished without feeling stuffy. You instantly feel comfortable, like you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. The service is top tier in the best way. Attentive, friendly, and genuinely warm. You’re taken care of without ever feeling hovered over.
Then there’s the food, especially the pasta. Every dish feels thoughtful and intentional, like it was made by people who truly care about what lands on your table. The pastas are always perfectly cooked, rich without being heavy, and balanced in a way that keeps you wanting just one more bite. Each bowl feels both comforting and elevated, the kind of food that sticks with you long after the night ends. Nothing feels overdone. It’s confident cooking that lets great ingredients shine.
What really makes Osteria Giulia birthday-worthy is how the whole experience comes together. You don’t just eat well, you feel celebrated. There’s an ease to the night, a flow from course to course that makes time disappear. It’s the kind of place you leave already thinking about when you can come back.
Two birthdays in a row weren’t an accident. Osteria Giulia has set the bar for what a perfect night out should feel like. It’s special without trying too hard, memorable without being over the top, and always worth the return.
It was interesting to visit this place, and the dishes look beautiful.

Osteria Giulia is the best a la carte Italian restaurant in Toronto I’ve been multiple times now and each time it’s phenomenal. Every single pasta dish is a standout. But when it comes to seafood pastas nobody in the city comes close. For appetizers I love the Focaccia Di Recco best focaccia you’ll ever have and I love the Indivia E Pera best endive salad you’ll ever have. Then on to the pastas my favourites are the Ravioli Doppi, Lorghittas Al Mare, Paccheri Genovese, Tagliolini Granchio, Scarpinocc and Scrigno Croccante. All of them will truly blow u away. And lastly for desserts the Crostata Di Zucca, Crostata Di Fragole and Millefoglie Al Cocco are three of the best desserts in Toronto.

One of the best restaurants in the city for a reason. We sat at the bar and the service & experience was excellent. The menu is seafood forward and has dishes that you may not have had elsewhere, like the Focaccia di Recco and Lorighittas al Mare - both are amazing. Always looking forward to our next meal here.

I’ve never had a bad time at Osteria Giulia. Sat at the bar this time and watched the head bartender work his mixology magic. Enjoyed the risotto. Will be back for sure!
