The culinary offerings at Giulio’s are a celebration of Italian classics elevated with contemporary flair.

For the main course, Giulio’s truly shines. Savor the richness of the Surf and Turf, or the herb-crusted Rack of Lamb that offers an herbaceous depth and juicy tenderness that lingers delightfully on the palate. The Gluten Free Chicken Milanese with Burrata caters thoughtfully to dietary needs without compromising on flavor, paired brilliantly with the creamy, delicate burrata and a fresh tomato salad. Pasta lovers will find solace in classics like the hearty Rigatoni Bolognese, while the decadent Tomahawk Steak and Extra Large Lobster offer indulgence at its finest. Side dishes—such as the velvety Mashed Potatoes topped with earthy Mushroom Sauce, or vibrant Broccoli Rabe—complement the mains with a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

The beverage menu sparks equal excitement, boasting creative cocktails like the silky-smooth Espresso Martini, the refreshing Berry Martini, and classic choices such as Irish Coffee and Rusty Nail. Each drink is crafted with care, served with an elegant touch that matches Giulio’s refined yet cozy vibe.
