We had great food and our waiter was very friendly. The cocktails and our meals were well balanced. Definitely worth a second visit.

This isn’t an Italian cuisine that I expected. Pasta is very fatty and oily, no sauce at all. Appetizers are so small and nothing special for these prices. Even the semolina cakes doesn’t have any taste, truffle smells nothing. The only I liked is a lemon cake with lavender jam. Overrated.

One of the best places to eat in the Greater Boston Area. Food is very good and service is excellent. Very few places offer this type of service which is very appreciated. The pasta is fresh and you find great dishes (not the typically ones you find in any Italian place). Very pleasant restaurant and I wish there were more places like this. Definitely recommended, good place for a date or special occasion.

We signed up for the bar wait list knowing it would be up to two hours. Had a drink across the street and got in after an hour as others had canceled. It was amazing. And we are picky when spending more than our standard restaurant budget. The bar service was great. The bartenders were knowledgeable and attentive. We had the cauliflower soup, the beef tortelli, a seafood special, and the cheese plate. The stand out was the cauliflower soup. Incredibly creamy with flavorful accompaniments. Everything else was wonderful as well. The total after tip was about 200 with two (excellent) cocktails and two wines. More than we generally spend but well worth it, even taking into account the 3.5 mile walk from downtown.

Fresh pasta, vibrant atmosphere, amazing service. Giulia is one of the best local restaurants in Cambridge where you can get amazing Italian food! Definitely comeback again.

Probably one of the best fresh pasta we have ever had. Pesto and Bolognese are so nice. Pana Cotta is unbelievable. We came here twice during our 5-day stay in Boston.

Being an Italian expat I am always worried about eating Italian food abroad. Giulia however reminded me of home. Caponata was terrific and the pappardelle with boar meat brought back memories of the Tuscan countryside and its flavors.

Love this restaurant! Made reservation for dinner at 5:30pm and despite long line when the restaurant open, we were promptly seated. Our waiter is friendly and food came out fast. Great quality ingredient, flavor combination, and fast/attentive service. Good place for family, friends, romantic night out, and many more. Glad we had a chance to visit this gem in Boston! Note: Warm Semolina Cake highly recommended.

Another amazing experience at Giulia! My wife and I were walk-ins at the bar. Bartender was great. Great drink suggestions and really appreciated his pairing suggestions. Food outstanding. Small plate of pickled vegetables and aged provolone was bright, fresh and a looked like summer on a plate. Mains and app of same quality. Grilled tuna with spring/summer veg was perfectly grilled and sauce and vegetables were perfect. Looking forward to our next visit
