We had a wonderful dinner at Osteria Giulia. The staff were warm and attentive. The atmosphere was perfectly balanced—cozy and inviting, with soft, warm lighting and candles on each table creating an intimate vibe. The clean, minimalist design added a modern and polished touch without feeling overly formal. The food was excellent. We tried the veal carpaccio, seafood pasta, and rack of lamb. The veal was tender and paired beautifully with the fried capers. The seafood pasta was perfectly cooked, and the lamb was flavorful and cooked just right. Osteria Giulia is a place I’d happily return to—it’s a great spot for a memorable meal.
