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.

Had an exceptional dining experiencing at DaiLo to celebrate a birthday. Did the chefs choice tasting menu and everything was delicious and food was so abundant we had to take some home. Great value. Service was impeccable with great attention to detail and ability to customize. We had told them one guest was pregnant and one couldn’t do spice & raw onions - without ever reminding, dishes that required tailoring were always brought out with those specifics in mind to ensure all our guests had an enjoyable meal they could actually eat. Lots of staff who were very attentive throughout always filling water, clearing plates and checking in with warm conversation. Would definitely come back.
