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.

    One of my favorite Arabic restaurants in Toronto. Please train your waiters to be mindful when approaching table to ask questions or make comments or tell us anything. Our waitress literally every single time came and interrupted us mid-sentence. If it was a casual restaurant with casual prices that’s fine but you are an upmarket restaurant and waiters should not behave like their schedule or their efficiency and speed should come at the expense of customers’ experience and socializing

    Love Terroni. Always consistently tasty food. Love the atmosphere too. Noise level was a little higher than I would have liked, but it was okay. Very lively.

    Once again, an incredible experience! I came from DC to Toronto for a few days, and of course, I had to come back to Daphne to try the lunch menu and hopefully see your wonderful manager, Amanda. I had a busy day and decided to go to lunch alone. Luckily, Amanda was there! She remembered me, exactly what she recommended last visit, and which dishes were my favourite — her memory and intellect are truly impressive. Based on what I had already tried, my palette preferences, and hunger level, she recommended two dishes for me, the Tuna Carpaccio and the Tomato and Persimmon Salad. Both were fantastic and satisfied my mid-day cravings. I left feeling energized and satiated. Amanda also checked in on me throughout my meal, keeping me just enough company, which I really appreciated since I was dining alone. The way that she conducts herself showcases a high level of interpersonal skills and intuition as she initiated the perfect degree of conversation, which is quite rare. A lunch experience is seldom noteworthy, but somehow Amanda finds a way to make it so. Thanks again for a lovely meal! I’ll be back on Saturday to bring all my friends to try the delicious food and to meet Amanda!

    Honestly I was quite impressed with the food, the presentation, and the customer service. My one piece of feedback would be I think the restaurant could have been more clearly labeled from the outside, it took us some time to find it on the street

    Our server was Victoria and she was absolutely fantastic- we will ask for her when we go back, which we definitely will, she made us feel so at home and table service was fast and friendly. The front desk was a bit messy - originally they had us just sit and wait for our table, but then when they sent others right in and we went back and asked again, they took us straight to a table. Baja fish tacos were fantastic, but so was everything. Loved the margaritas and the sangria as well.
