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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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 I've 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 I've 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 you're 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 I've recommended it to everyone. I've 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.

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.

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 can't 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.

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.
