To be honest the Michelin star prestige is what brought me here for dinner to celebrate a special occasion. I felt it lived up to its Michelin reputation. We got the risotto (sorry which one) and the rack of lamb which was so tender and fall off the bone. The server was highly attentive ensuring that we had everything we needed. Only issue was the two hour dining limit but it ended up being just enough to savor the meal without being rushed. Overall it was a great experience. Will definitely be back read more

Super delicious! Definitely recommend for date night. I liked everything that I ate. My favourites were the burrata appetizer and the truffle gnocchi (special of the day). Their desserts are very pretty and taste great as well. Reservations open up 14 days in advance so make sure you stay up to snag them. read more

Absolutely beautiful dinner. The burrata with caviar and honey was outstanding. Next I enjoyed the braided pasta with seafood, which was so perfectly simple and delicious. The quality of everything was top of the line, and the service was also excellent. The vodka martini washed with Ligurian herbs was a highlight for me. read more

Well-deserved Michelin-awarded restaurant. From the elegance of the decor to the flavors of all the dishes, Osteria Giulia was beyond exceptional. We started the evening by having the sommelier assist us with finding the perfect wine for the table. This is what the table ordered: -Burrata with caviar -Grilled octopus -Focaccia - a few pasta dishes - all the desserts on the menu (no kidding!) The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. A must try when visiting Toronto. read more

After having bookmarked this 1-star Michelin restaurant for far too long, I finally decided to try it. The two of us ordered a wide assortment of dishes, so much so that the regular who sat next to us applauded us for our courageous and seemingly bottomless appetites. Cavoletti - Brussels sprouts, smoked sardines, anchovy butter, pistachios. It was a unique pairing of textures and flavors. Interesting. I could appreciate the creativity behind the recipe. Polpo alla Griglia - Grilled octopus, smoked potato, soleggiati tomatoes, seaweed butter. While the octopus was tender and the dish was visually appealing, I found the blended flavors to be odd-tasting. Carre di Agnello - 8pc lamb rack, we asked for medium-rare. Came out more on the rare side and the meat was a little chewy. It was also lacking in flavour, carried only by the infused olive oil - the lamb could've used a lot more seasoning and char. Lorighittas al Mare - Hand-braided pasta, wild squid, bay scallops, chili, garlic, anchovy. Flavour was good and pasta was al dente. Unfortunate that the portions were rather small for $38. Spaghettoni ai Ricci Di Mare - Spaghetti, BC sea urchin, soleggiati tomatoes, pangrattato. I was most looking forward to this dish and most disappointed by it. Only 1-2 pieces of uni atop an otherwise uninspiring base. Though orange in color, the sauce did not taste of uni and instead, was completely overwhelmed by cheesiness. I got sick of its single-tone flavour and heaviness by my last bite. Overall, did I appreciate the dining experience and culinary innovation? For the most part, yes. Would I say there were any dishes that were memorable and that I would crave again? Unfortunately, no. read more

Stopped by on Thursday without a reso and was so lucky to get a spot after someone else had cancelled. This restaurant is beautiful - lovely modern interior design, dim warm lighted, and a relaxing ambiance overall. Our waitress was very professional and service was attentive. Plates here are small and meant to be shared. $$$$ My order: Cocktail ( I forget the name but it was recommended by our server and it resembles a whisky sour) - this was sooooooo good. Probably one of the tastiest and smoothest cocktails I've ever had. I'd probably consider it the highlight of my evening. Really amazing although i wish it was slightly stronger. Would have been nice to feel a little buzz from a $20 cocktail Lorighittas al mare - I've never had this hand braised pasta before, i thought it was average overall but worth it for the experience. Mushroom risotto - tasty!! Perfectly cooked, I would eat this again. Overall great place to check out to splurge for a special occasion or date night! read more

(5.0) - It was difficult to experience Osteria Giulia without having prior knowledge of the food, drink and overall vibe because of the overwhelming popularity. That being said, it still surpassed expectations. We came for a weekday dinner service. They've set up the restaurant quite well - as you enter you noticed the dimness of the lights, the quiet mix of conversation with the relatively soft music in the background, and of course the aroma of the food being prepared. There's no denying you've stepped foot into a fine dining establishment. The menu and restaurant is designed with a seafood lens of the Liguira region in northwest Italy. After ordering two martinis, in their classic presentation, we ordered our meal. This included: Acciughe E Burro, Focaccia Di Recco, Vitello Tonnato, Lorighittas Al Mare, Spaghettoni Ai Ricci Di Mare, Frutti Di Mare Alla Griglia, Romanesco and finished with Tiramisu Alla Giulia for dessert. Obviously a number of dishes, but I will highlight the standouts. The Acciughe E Burro was perfectly toasted around the edges and soft within. The whipped butter wasn't too fatty on the palette and the thin anchovy really pulled everything together. The veal carpaccio was incredibly fresh and sophisticated with the addition of the tuna foam in the middle. Surprising enough, the best part of the dish was the foglie di cappero (or caper leaves); the leaves gave the dish an additional layer of acidity which the plate was begging for. Moving on, we dove into our pasta dishes. Both were spectacular but the hand braided Lorighittas played games with your eyes. For context, the interior of Osteria Giulia is a cream coloured with very dim lighting coming from above and candlelight. The shape of the pasta and squid were almost indistinguishable - you didn't know if you were getting a piece of pasta or squid. The dish painted a complete story with no one part of it being the star; a sort of marriage of flavors with each bite. Personally, I could eat this every day. I was nervous when the spaghetti arrived; I've never had or seen tomatoes and sea urchin mix... lucky for me they go together strangely well. Complete different textures, temperatures and flavors made each bite more interesting than the last. Finishing off the meal we had the grilled seafood plate with squid, octopus, jumbo prawns and Hokkaido scallops. The clear star of the dish was the jumbo prawns which were split open and meatier than expected. I was looking forward to the scallops, but they were completely wrapped in dill. Though delicious, I would've loved the chance to have them as is with the lemon provided. Completing everything, we had the dark chocolate tiramisu which (in my opinion) was a perfect way to end. To conclude - the rumors are true. If you're able to get a reservation and have a small fortune saved, you need to have a meal at Osteria Giulia. The best restaurant in Toronto that I've been to, so far. read more

While visiting Toronto, I was scrolling Yelp trying to find the best restaurants to try while we were there. This one really caught my eye, and I had to try it. I was able to book a a table, even though it was quite busy. We loved our visit so much that we booked a table for the following night to try the things that we didn't get to try the first night. The restaurant was design quite beautifully and had a very cozy and elegant vibe. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. We loved every course of our meals. The focaccia was delicious and we had it twice. I am still dreaming about the endive and pear salad. I need to try and find a way to re-create it at home. The first night I had the lobster risotto for dinner and the second night I had the Paccheri alla Genovese, both were delicious. My guest had the Spigola alla Griglia the first night and the Lorighittas al Mare, he loved both as well. His favorite part was the Tuna appetizer we shared. The desserts and cheese plates were wonderful as well. I highly recommend and we will definitely be back next time we are in Toronto. read more

Food is good Italian food but nothing exceed expectations or surprised me. I like how they use uni in their dishes. But there is no extra thought or more sophisticated thought beyond the material. The handmade pasta is the item that lasts in my memory above all, very chewy. Service is a bit uptight. Overall good. There are many people here in their business attires so the atmosphere feels a bit strange. Feel like work dinner across except for a couple of tables that are couples or friends. Like their cocktail martini. Fun idea. read more

It was good, but not great. Everything was prepared well, and presentation of each dish was perfect. But there was something missing. It's hard to pinpoint what it was. The whole thing felt transactional. When we were asked about dietary restrictions, the suggestions provided completely ignored our comments. A visit to the restroom led to an encounter with a well dressed entourage of women complaining about other patrons. The seating felt tight, but not in a warm way. The vibe was Toronto Life magazine. Maybe it's that we didn't feel like guests. I can't quite figure out why. It's a shame as we were really looking forward to this dinner. Giulietta is one of our favorite restaurants in town...and we've definitely enjoyed that place much more than we did here. read more

4.5/5 experience!! Been to their sister restaurant multiple times but first time here. I'm scared to try new places in toronto as a lot of them are overrated but it didn't disappoint. Logrighittas Al Mare & sea bass were my fav. Service was really good as well! read more

Appetizers and most of the entrees were very delicious! Just wish their desserts pasta was a bit more cooked as it was too undercooked and the desserts were better :) read more

If I am being honest, with a Michelin star attached to their name, I would expect much more from them. The food here was alright, nothing remarkable however. You can easily find something as good or better in Toronto. Even the flatbread that they had a long description for on the menu, it was very underwhelming. Decor - We were a group of 5 and were seated in the back, in a section that has a lower ceiling. The design of it was not very smart as the echo of the restaurant / noise from other tables was so loud that I could not carry a conversation with my friends without yelling. I could barely hear the server introducing the menu to us. I will however say that star of the night was the tiramisu. It was one of the best ones I have tasted so I will give them that. However, again, I would expect much more (not just one amazing dessert) from them and the experience was a bit disappointing. read more

I've been waiting for such an experience. It was our anniversary, and we were pampered from the moment we walked in. Impeccable service, and the food was also incredible. We had the focaccia, pasta vongole, and the seafood platter. Everything was excellent- I've never had lobster that tender or vongole that briny-tasty. Focaccia was unlike anything I've had in the focaccia family, but was so nice and hot and toasty. Tiramisu was also excellent, and also cannot forget all of their beautifully crafted cocktails. Sad to have no photos to put here but it was our anniversary so I didn't feel like taking photos. I loved my first experience at Giulia and will come back very soon im sure. Thanks for a great evening. read more

Made a reservation two weeks in advance. I received a phone call the day before to confirm and they said they couldn't wait for us to celebrate our anniversary there (when it came to actually dining there, they didn't make any mention of it though). At 5pm on a Tuesday, we were one of two tables seated and service was very attentive. We ordered several dishes to share, and requested some mocktails. Everything came out in a timely manner and was satisfying. My husband's favourite dish was the handbraided pasta, while mine was the ravioli. Unfortunately we both found the lobster in the spaghetti dish was a bit overcooked. Would still recommend this restaurant for a nice dinner, and will probably be back one day in the future! read more

Osteria Giulia,located at the corner of Avenue and Davenport, is an intimate restaurant serving Northern Italian cuisine with an emphasis on seafood. I've been their sister restaurant Giuletta and I had heard great things about this place as well. The restaurant was named one of the best new restaurants in 2022. Reservations can be hard to come by as you can only reserve 14 days in advance. You have to be very quick to reserve at midnight or you get stuck with a 5pm or 9:30pm time slot for dinner. The prices at Osteria Giulia on the more expensive side so this place i definitely somewhere to go for a special night out. I recently dined at Osteria Giulia on a Thursday night. I was lucky to reserve a 6pm time slot at the bar. The restaurant itself is not big (~60 people) where it's interior has a minimalist and modern atmosphere. The bar itself may not be ideal in the winter since it is close to the entrance. Either way, it was fun watching the bartender create cocktails and drinks for the guests as we were enjoying our food. Note that there is a $3 charge on their filtered water (sparkling or still). Service was attentive and our server gave us enough time to decide on food. I observed that the majority of customers shared dishes. I started with a white wine (as the menu is quite seafood focused) and my friend had a cocktail. Food wise, we shared the following dishes: Vitello tonnato (Veal Carpaccio, Albacore Tuna, Foglie di Cappero, Lemon & Olive Oil) Crudo di capesante (Raw Diver Scallops, Citrus Fortunella, Chili, Fennel & Sea Salt) Lorighittas al mare (Hand Braided Pasta, Wild Squid, Bay Scallops, Chili, Garlic & Anchovy) Spigola alla griglia (European Sea Bass, Spring Peas, Fava Beans, Ramp Pesto & Sungold Tomatoes) And for dessert we shared the millefoglie al pistachio (Sicilian Pistachio & Raspberry Mille-Feuille) All the dishes were thoughtfully prepared, well-executed, and delicious. The Vitello tonnato was unique. The scallop crudo was fresh where the chili, citrus fortunella, and kumquat highlighted the freshness of the scallop. The hand braided pasta was a highlight (although all the dishes were highlights)! The pasta was cooked el dente where they were coated with just the right amount of sauce. The scallops and squid were both equally cooked perfectly and tender with the right amount of texture. The sea bass dish was great as well, grilled and slightly smoked, as well as deboned. The skin of the fish was slightly crispy but not overpowering. The tomatoes added a burst of flavour to the fish. Lastly, the mille-feuille was light and crispy where the prominent flavours of pistachio and raspberry (as well as some raspberry jam) came through. Dishes were balanced well and was a great meal from start to finish. The timing of when the dishes came out also did not feel rushed where we had enough time to enjoy each dish. Overall, a delicious meal, great service, and beautiful ambiance. read more

Surprisingly never heard of this place before my friend decided to book a reservation and came out thoroughly impressed to say the least. We ordered 3 different appetizers and 3 desserts with a main each and I was blown away by every single dish. Although the main I ordered was quite small, it was one of the best pasta dishes I had tried to date and definitely worth it. Service was great as well - our server offered a couple suggestions and checked up on us quite regularly, ensuring everything was up to standard. Highly recommend if you're looking for a higher-end Italian restaurant that is worth the cost. read more

The sister restaurant to Giuletta has been religiously booked up since it opened. They announce cancellations or last minute openings on their IG stories. I thought I had booked it through OpenTable but it actually didn't go through and we didn't have a reservation. They were nice enough to squeeze us in for the next available table. Ian (?) brought us a snack and a drink on the house while we waited, this definitely lifted our spirits and made our night (Thank you!) We had: Acchiughe e Burro: AKA anchovies and butter on toast. The butter was light and fluffy and the anchovies added saltiness. I'm not a fan of anchovies, but if you are, then you'd LOVE this Focaccia di Recco: This was a delicacy which is essentially a cheese stuffed flatbread, baked in a copper pan. I didn't find it as special as it sounded when described by our server Crudo Di Tonno: This yellowtail tuna was served with blood orange and fennel which worked very well together. The orange was juicy and the fennel added aroma Spaghetti al Nero Di Seppia: AKA squid ink spaghetti with a half portion of Nova Scotia Lobster. The pasta was cooked perfectly however the lobster was small and sparse. The flavors were good but this would not be my first pasta pick tbh Vitello Tonnato: The veal carpaccio was very tender but a bit salty for me. I'm not sure if it was the albacore tuna or the white sauce (?) Frutti Di Mare Alla Griglia: AKA grilled seafood platter. All the seafood except for the scallop was cooked with lemon and olive oil. The shrimps were overcooked so the shells stuck to the meat. The octopus was overcooked and dry and the other piece of the whitefish seemed frozen. For $50+ I expected alot more in terms of taste and presentation Millefoglie al Pistacio: This was the highlight of the meal for me. The pistachio and raspberry was rich, yet not overly sweet adding nuttiness and fruitiness I realllly wanted to try their egg yolk ravioli and a few more items but they were all sold out by the time we dined (around 10PM). So I would try to book for an earlier time slot if you can. I'll be back soon to try all the items I didn't order! read more

My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner here the other day. We are big fans of Giulietta, so we were eagerly anticipating the opening of Osteria Giulia. What a wonderful experience! The food was thoughtfully prepared, well presented, and absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and helpful and the restaurant itself had a beautiful ambiance. We shared everything from start to end, as encouraged. This gave us the opportunity to try multiple things and we were glad we did so. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on this menu. Bookmark this one, you won't be disappointed. read more

Big fan of Giulietta but an even bigger fan of Osteria Giulia. It was an absolute pleasure to dine at Giulia this evening. Upon entering, you are greeted with a relaxed and fun environment. The restaurant is dim, romantic and sexy. It shares the same colour scheme as Giulietta, but a more relaxed vibe. Beyond the beautiful place, the service was where they really outdone themselves. The team handled everything very well. From water refills to cleaning tables between courses, everything was done in a very timely manner. If you get really lucky and have Ashley serving you then you are in for a treat. She really takes care of her tables even with the hectic environment. Ashley truly went beyond and not only gave incredible recommendations but was also able to attend to every need. It isn't often where you find a genuine server that is able to do their job so well! Here is what I ordered: Drinks: Giulia Spritz ($17) Just a good spritz. Margose Gose ($14) Definitely get this. The beer is a tad salty because its made using sea water but it is truly unlike anything I have ever had. Super refreshing! Food: Olive Miste ($10) Good assortment of olives! I believe there was some fruit peels as well as garlic. The olive oil they used to coat everything was lovely. Focaccia di Recco ($18) This was a really interesting flatbread! As Ashley explained, it is an unleavened bread that is crispy on the top and soft at the bottom with cheese in the middle. Its served traditionally on a copper pan (which is crazy hot!! please be careful) I would consider this a super fancy quesadilla in a good way. Trofie al Pesto Genovese ($24) This type of pasta has a very unique twisted shape. I honestly think it's super underrated. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and because of its shape, it allowed a good amount of chew. The pesto and pine nuts complimented this dish well. Incredible dish if you are a fan of pesto! Frutti di Mare alla Griglia ($48) The seafood of the day on my plate included Monkfish, Scallops, sardines, Prawns and Octopus. This dish was a tad salty for me, but once I squeezed an extra lemon, the acidity worked really well with the dish! The scallops and the octopus were the highlight of this dish, as they were both very tender. In comparison the monkfish was much more bland. A good dish to try many seafood options but I would try another main next time. Romanesco ($14) I had this to compliment the seafood platter and it did not disappoint. Again this was a bit salty, but the lemon did the trick. The addition of the chilies and almond slivers really elevated this cauliflower like veggie. Pera e Mandorle ($18) Poached Bosc Pear in white wine with an almond frangipane & marscapone cream & creme anglais. This was a very light dessert and a perfect way to end off the meal. The slightly acidic poached pear was great with the creme anglais. I enjoyed this! Overall, the food was very good, but the service was even better. I look forward to trying more pastas and the halibut!! All the desserts look very promising so I will be sure to try more of those on my next visit. read more

Busy little Italian restaurant on Avenue Rd in the Yorkville area. Modern decor with the right touch of warmth. We were promptly seated and given a cocktail menu. After a few beautiful drinks we proceed to gaze at the vast menu. From beautiful appetizers to several pastas and a handful of mains. We ordered several dishes to share and enjoy as a group. The anchovies and butter was a home run. I could have started and stopped right here. Between the toasted bread and the whipped butter each piece melted and crunched all at the same time. A perfectly executed dish. Beretta, callimari and cheese bread were very good and had some nice finishings touches. Grilled mixed seafood was another excellent dish where portion, taste and finish was something i could just come back here over and over again. Squid pasta was smooth and not overpowered by the squid ink. Wine selection here is quite large and we took some suggestions from the sommelier. Another fine gem in the city of Toronto worth making a stop here. Average price is $100-150/ pp with drinks. read more

A memorable fine dining experience with impeccable service at a new spot near Yorkville. The interior was calming through lighting and design and set a nice mood for our meal. We ordered the veal carpaccio, focaccia, and three pastas. The veal carpaccio was very tasty with a nice sauce centered in the plate. Unfortunately the focaccia wasn't anything special and seemed overhyped, as we were recommended this dish by our server and it was the only item on the menu with a separate write up. The pastas were all delicious (lamb ragu, wild squid, and seafood risotto) although the portions were smaller than expected. Of the three my favorite was the wild squid. Will definitely try the other pastas on the menu next time I go back. For dessert we got the dark chocolate cake and pistachio ganache. The chocolate cake was nice and rich, but the star of the show was the ganache. Both presentation and taste were amazing, and this dish is highly recommended. read more

A fantastic dining experience! Our group went because they ranked #14 out of Canada's 100 best restaurants and the experience did not disappoint! They only do reservations two weeks out so make sure you stay on top of it if you are looking to check them out. The décor was minimalist but thoughtful with great lighting and ambience. Service was excellent. The food was impressive and given they are the sister restaurant of Giuletta, this should not be surprising. However, vs Giuletta, they do scale back the pasta portions. We ordered two appetizers and three pastas and you can not go wrong with any of the options. Appetizer #1: The veal carpaccio is a must try! Appetizer #2: Liguria flatbread - was not bad but can skip out on this to try more exotic dishes Pasta #1: Lamb Ragu Pappardelle - excellent Pasta #2: Lorighittas al Mare - a seafood pasta that's on the lighter side and definitely my go to when I return Pasta #3: Risotto alla Pescatora - seafood risotto that is full of flavour. However, a bit heavier on the salty side The pistachio dessert is another must try! The p Would definitely come back! read more

Usually underwhelmed by Italian food, expectations weren't crazy high going in but this place served it UP. The simple focaccia bread was somehow amazingly cheesy. Must have. The grilled seafood platter has an obscene amount of food on it and every single bite was great. The side of cauliflowers went great. Only regret is I couldn't order dessert because my partner got sick (unrelated to the dinner ). Ambiance was classy casual. Must be an unwritten dress code because all diners were in black and white?? Service was on point without being too overly jovial. read more

Went here right after they won their Michelin star. Had to say I was a bit disappointed. It was generally good but nothing really blew me away. Honestly I don't think it deserves a star over to other more deserving places. It's sister restaurant Giulietta was better quite frankly. read more

I came here for my birthday dinner and loved the experience I got during my stay. The customer experience you receive is definitely part of the cost in the menu and it shows as soon as you step through the door. I was immediately welcomed with a warm smile of the host and my reserved table was ready and beautifully set, they also offered to take our jackets which is always a plus. This restaurant is definitely out of my budget but I wanted to something special for myself by going to this restaurant so my party ordered some bread and olive oil to share and later on the mille feuille dessert. For my main course, I had the Risotto ai funghi and it was spectacular. The risotto is definitely something to enjoy if you love earthy mushroomy dishes like me. My guests had mixed opinions on the mille feuille but to me, it was perfectly balanced with sweet, creamy and nutty flavours that weren't too overpowering (then again i have a sweet tooth). My waiter was amazing, I wish I remembered his name. He was very courteous to us and knowledgeable about the menu. I love that he went the extra mile to put a candle in my dessert and wished me a happy birthday. I would definitely recommend giving this place a go if you have a special night to celebrate or if you're in the tax bracket for it haha. Will definitely be looking forward to coming back and trying the other options! read more

Cozy atmosphere but a touch loud acoustically. Nice and classy atmosphere. Food was ok but not amazing.

TLDR: 1. Price Range for most appetizers and pasta between $25~$45 2. Excellent Customer Service, very attentive and accommodating. 3. Conveniently located near Yorkville. 4. Excellent selection of pasta, risotto and appetizers. 5. Strongly Recommend the grilled octopus, hand braided pasta with squid, and the truffle risotto. Visited Osteria Giulia on Thursday around 5:30PM, the restaurant's seats for two as well as the bar area were already packed. The restaurant uses candles and dim lights to create a relaxing ambience. We started with the Focaccia di Recco, Grilled Octopus and the Veal Carpaccio which were all very well done. However, the Octopus stands out as it was grilled just right so the texture is not rubbery or too bitter, but goes very well with the seaweed butter sauce. For the main, our group of 3 shared the grilled lamb rack, the hand braided pasta with squid, spaghetti with sea urchin, and the truffle risotto. The recommended rarity for the lamb was medium rare which was actually too rare for our liking as it was still pink. We asked the waitress about it and they were able to take it back to make it medium for us. The medium lamb rack was phenomenal as its juicy and a bit crispy outside and pink inside. The hand braided pasta and the truffle risotto were really good. the pasta was very chewy and braided into ring shape to go along with the squid which was entertaining. The risotto had a portion of mushroom and had a strong truffle scent and presence with it. For desserts, we had the tiramisu, a dish with sheep cheese, and a pistachio cake. Unfortunately, the desserts were not as memorable as the appetizers and pasta. The sheep cheese was not what i expected as it was a reasonably sized slice of cheese, with honey comb and a sauce which was actually quite good. All in all, Osteria Giulia is a great place if you are craving for some good pasta and interesting appetizers. It can be somewhat pricey, but still reasonable if you stick with their popular items. The staffs are excellent and the minimum prompt for tips is at 20% which in my honest opinion, is very reasonable since most random eatery in Toronto has a minimum 15% tips prompt. You actually get excellent service at Osteria Giulia which is well justified for the 20% tips. read more

Discovered through a YouTube video by Jet Bent-Lee, I knew I had to check this Italian spot out in Toronto. Resos are hard to get so plan in advance as it's one of those timed releases. It's in Yorkville which is a high end part of the city and everything aspect of the dining experience here was on point.

We came here on a Thursday night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambience was really nice & the staff are super friendly.

Made a reservation at 11 am 2 weeks on the day that I wanted to go and only had 3 time slots left a d 9:30 pm was the earliest. We called the restaurant on true day and was able to change it to 9 pm. It is.a small restaurant and despite a snow storm that day, it was full with lots of activity. The service was excellent and our server was very knowledgeable and advised us when we ordered too much food. The interior was nicely done with simple and modern furnishings. We ordered a non-alcoholic drink due to the weather and it was very refreshing. We had the veal carpaccio and the grilled octopus for the appetizers and they were excellent. The sauce for the veal was amazing and so tasty. The grilled octopus and the smoked potatoes were so good and smokey. The agnolotti was so light and fluffy- so amazingly good. The lamb was very tasty and did not have much of a lamb-y taste but I'm not a lamb fan and it was a little too rare for my liking but my husband loved it. The tiramisu dessert was excellent and full of rich espresso flavours. This restaurant is a definite must try. read more
