Osteria Giulia

What is Osteria Giulia? Anchored along Avenue Road in Yorkville, Osteria Giulia is chef Rob Rossi and David Minicucci’s Michelin-starred ode to the Ligurian coast. The sleek dining room pairs warm blond oak and curved travertine surfaces with low-lit, tailored elegance and front-row seats at the chef's counter. The atmosphere is composed, refined, and distinctly sophisticated, prioritizing meticulous culinary execution over a loud scene.

Osteria Giulia Menu & What to Order The kitchen bypasses standard red-sauce fare in favor of delicate coastal Italian seafood and regional hand-rolled pastas. Start without fail with the focaccia di Recco, a thin, crispy unleavened flatbread stuffed with molten stracchino cheese, alongside the deftly executed vitello tonnato. For mains, order the trofie al pesto or rich paccheri alla Genovese, and pair your meal with a selection from their deep list of northern Italian wines and rare amari.

Prime-time walk-ins are virtually out of reach, though solo diners or early arrivals might catch an unreserved stool at the bar. The restaurant serves dinner seven nights a week from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with easy access from Bay or Museum subway stations.
