Cafe Giulia

The food today is better than the old location's ratings and should be ratcheted up a notch or two from what I see here. However, there is an overcooking tendency, so be very specific to order meats and fish on the rare side, stay away from dishes with a risotto side, and you likely will have a great meal. Pastas are very nicely done. The space has potential, is nicely appointed inside, but needs a nicer outdoor setting worthy of the vintage Alfa Romeo next to you. Fried shredded artichoke/arugula starter is truly don't-miss excellent. Good salads. Generally perfect portions. Vegies and potato sides are uniformly delicious, simple, and perfectly cooked. Small, very reasonable wine selection. No bar. Not desert fans so you're on your own on that end. Olive oil pound cake was interesting. Very friendly, professional and attentive small staff.

From the moment I walked in I loved this place. The decor is warm and inviting, the staff is excellent, friendly, funny and so welcoming. The owner comes out to greet you and make sure everything is up to snuff. My Cosmo was fantastic, the hot antipasta, delicious! My Panna Cotta for dessert was to die for! I will be returning again and again to Cafe Giulia!
