We had 2 amazing waitresses, the first one took our coats and sat us, the second braugh us drinks! Then both greated us with hello and there names aswell... more

We went for dinner on a Saturday night and the place was practically empty. We ordered appetizers and salad-- they forgot to bring the salads before the main courses arrived. They were apologetic and offered dessert instead in lieu of salads. The chef/ owner also came out to apologize. The place was cold, had no style or atmosphere.. Not even... more
Had heard the service was bad, but didn't expect this. Started out by asking waitress recommendations- the other waitress ran away laughing through the door, ours said "the bread". The other waitress returned and told us that the three sisters (one meat and one cheese cannelloni) was good, whereas our waitress said the owner told them NOT to tell customers,... more
Marilyn and her staff never fail to produce an evening of culinary delight and great friendship. This restaurant is about an hour for us to get to, but bar none, my go to place if I want amazing Italian food.
It is a small venue, but has a charm that can't help but make you feel welcome.
Thanks again Marilyn,...

This must be new owners. The service is terrible the owner was wearing flip flops. It took 20 minutes to get drinks which came in non matching glasses ask for bread tree times.They had the same cd playing the same for songs for the hour and a half we were there with one song skipping . It was like ground... more
Two things that make a restaurant memorable for us is the food quality/taste and the service. Trattoria Giuliana offers both in spades.
We were greeted at the door by our server Anna. Although the restaurant was busy, Anna's service made us feel like we were the only ones in there! She quickly took our drink orders and went over the...

Nice atmosphere inside. Don't get put off by the exterior. Inside you will get some great italian food. Regrettably they didn't have the lasagna instead had the fettuccine chicken Alfredo. Very nice excellent portions.
The food was delicious and very fair price wise. The atmosphere is quiet and intimate with only a few tables in the whole restaurant. The servers were very friendly as was evident by their familiarity with their customers (the majority of which appeared to be regulars). The only thing that I could point out as a flaw was that our table wobbled ( our server tried to fix it and told us it is... more
I have never been disappointed eating here. The food is Excellent and the owner takes great pride in ownership.Keep it up
Well it's been over a year since we have had a chance to get back here for a meal, but I was driving by earlier in the day and could smell the amazing aromas wafting out on the street, so when my husband suggested we go out for dinner, i knew where I wanted to go immediately and i wasn't... more
If you are looking for a delicious homemade Italian meal, this is the place! We were promptly greeted at the door by a smiling server and quickly had our drink and appetizer order taken. The waitress was very friendly and offered her advice about the menu. we had the garlic cheese bread as well as the wonderful homemade turkey soup.... more
Slowwwwwww service. Cheap food that tries to pass for authentic Italian. Waiter was boring and not warm at all. Took forever to get ice for drinks. Served the SAME coffee pot to two of us, one who ordered regular and one DECAF. Whole entree tasted like it was simmered in salt water and vinegar. Will never go back here. Do... more

Loved the whole experience

We went to Trattoria Giuliana even though we read other reviews about service being very slow. Food was really good, tasted good, and nice portion sizes for the value. But, and there's a big but...service was utterly unorganized. Unfortunately we arrived (with a reservation) after a large group of 12 people. The 2 servers took 10-15 minutes to even approach... more
my girlfriend and I thought we would give Guilianas a try after new owners took over..after a 30 min wait we were asked if we would care for a beverage,15 min later we recieved our litre of wine...then another 15 min we had a basket of cold chewy rolls brought to our table,then we kept seeing the 1 waitress for... more
We went to Trattoria Giuliana for our Mothers Day dinner. We had a party of five. We ordered bruschetta, garlic bread, house, caesar and caprese salads. All were excellent. Three people ordered the stuffed chicken special, one pasta with clams and one order of carbonara. The carbonara was amazing. It was made traditionally and I could tell. It is an... more
We come here regularly and thoroughly enjoy the whole experience of eating here. Tonight there were six of us enjoying a meal out after a fundraising event. We make it a tradition to come here for dinner after. Marilyn and her staff make this quaint little restaurant an enjoyable evening out. The food is hot and delicious and fresh, worth... more
If you have all night to eat dinner, and I mean all night, by all means go. If not, forget it. The entrees were good but the hour and a half wait to get our meals soured the taste. The restaurant was full when we arrived but most tables had already been served. Still, it took 40 minutes to receive... more
Another evening spent devouring succulent Italian cuisine at Trattoria Jiuliana. This time, my sister and her hubby from Pickering insisted that we go there for our New Year dinner since we have raved about it so often.
The restaurant was full, not just seating but full of conversation, laughter and everyone totally enjoying not only their food, but the staff....

2 weeks after visiting Giuliana's with our neighbours for supper, I called Marilyn to see if they would be open for lunch on a Thursday. I also questioned whether it would be appropriate for me to bring my son, his wife and my 16 month old grandaughter. She never hesitated. They were visiting from New Brunswick, and this X hockey... more
We booked our baby's baptism celebration dinner at Trattoria Guiliana and from the moment we stepped in the door, we felt like home. The people were amazing and so was the food. They were so accomodating to our needs, and for a great price. Two thumbs up!!
This little place is not for everyone but if you are looking for simple non-commercialized Italian food, Guiliana's is a great little secret. The building is nothing great, and the decor inside is immensely dated, but we've never been disappointed by the food. The business has been in the same Italian Family hands forever and most local Italians I've spoken... more
Owned and operated by a local Italian family, this restaurant boasts genuine home made Italian prepared dishes. The first thing you’ll notice about this establishment is that the outside is very plain, and the decor on the inside is very dated. However the quality of the food will not let you down. Fresh ingredients an not skimpy on quantity, if you were eating in the basement of any Italian... more
