Giulia Cambridge Reviews
Great food, atmosphere, parking, and personal service could be improved
Food was outstanding. Not overly exotic but miles away from home cooking. Novel to Italian descent visitors (me) as well. Well presented. Service rapid, helpful, informative if needed. Still, Iโd only give it a four star rating because the service

This place is a ten out of ten.
Everything we had was excellent (including our drinks) as was our server. Simply one of the best restaurants in Greater Boston.
Giulia is one of the best dining experiences I've ever add.
Incredibly friendly service, food as good as having the real thing in Italy and lovely ambiance. I was really impressed with how quickly dishes came out on a busy weeknight. It was like I would place my order and poof it appeared. Reservations are

Amazing dishes and great service! The bartenders are friendly and make great drinks. The ambience is nice and welcoming, but it is tough to get a table and the seating is a bit crowded. Overall a great restaurant and I definitely recommend it. Make s

We walked in on a Friday night not expecting to get seats since reservations for this restaurant seem to be hard to get, but to our surprise the host said there was seats at the bar. I totally understand why reservations are so hard to come by becaus
Lovely dinner at Giulia.
The pastas were all really good but the casarecce was especially noteworthy. Our server was delightful as well.

We booked the early sitting at the pasta table for our daughter's college graduation dinner sight unseen (as we are from California)! Reese at Giulia made the process pain free and she was a delight. I was worried that the 3-course early sitting
Delicious pasta worth the wait
Visiting a friend in Cambridge, this was a must go to as she frequents it often. The restaurant has a cozy, rustic ambiance and reservations are almost mandatory as it books out and I get why. We unfortunately didnโt have one but were out on the wa
Giulia Cambridge - amazing service
And excellent food
One of the best places in Cambridge
Always a pain in the butt to get a table but when you do land one, itโs nice to know that you will leave satisfied. Terrible ambience and not exactly the best looking plates but here you know youโre paying a premium for a delicious, quality mea
Outstanding Restaurant!
We have eaten at this amazing restaurant a few times at different times of the year and have been impressed each time! The appetizers, entrees, desserts are so delicious and the chef and kitchen team put a lot of love and care into each beautifully
Very very good Italian food.
I would say it is about the same quality as fox and knife. So until you can pull off reservations give them a try . Giulia does have larger portions with main dishes . Service was friendly and attentive. I will 100 percent come back. Unicorn oysters
Slightly better then average food.
Average service. Depressing ambiance. Couldn't see my food to enjoy it. Waitress was ignorant about wine. Overpriced for the experience. Extra kitchen appreciation charge. Ridiculous!
Superb restaurant
This restaurant is so good we went there for two of our four nights in Cambridge. The wild boar pappardelle is to die for! Wonderful service--they remembered us on our second visit forty-eight hours after the first. And compared with other restaurant
Delicious fresh pasta and a rotating seasonal menu.
There is a single pasta that is vegetarian and a few apps/side. It's a small and popular place so make sure you have a reservation.
Amazing service and wine selection was excellent.
The semolina cakes were delicious, can't wait to come back

I haven't been to this restaurant in over four years, and I'm sorry to discover that the food quality has gone downhill. The pasta is still good; however, it took forever for us to get it. I will not come back.
Worth the Effort!
The pasta is great and the service is excellent - but getting a reservation can be a bit of a headache! Have no fear, if they're booked online try giving them a call. They might not pick up the first time, but it's worth it to try again.
Came here at the recommendation of a few friends.
It was still packed at 8:30 on a Wednesday night! We ordered the focaccia, burrata, nostrale, bucatini allamatriciana, pappardelle, squash agnolotti and pasta e ceci. We really enjoyed the pappardelle and agnolotti, and the pasta e ceci was very uniq
Spent a while trying to get a reservation.
I was really underwhelmed by the food. I got the pasta e ceci and it really was not very tasty. Disappointed because I love pasta and was so excited. But Guilia was very expensive and IMO not worth the price

Giulia is always a hit! Although it may be challenging to get a reservation, it is well worth it. First off, highly reccomend the warm semolina cakes - simply *chefs kiss*. I appreciate that they always have around 3 vegetarian pastas on the menu, wh
Amazing! Food was 10/10 for everything.

I proposed to my now-wife while we sat at the bar here in 2015. It was special to us then and it's special to us now. We returned last night, for the first time in a few years. The semolina cakes and the casarecce alone would have made the trip worth
Food was great, service was meh
Food was great! My only issues were cocktails came out after food arrived, which is my pet peeve. I would rather have had wine with dinner but when cocktails arrive late I'm still drinking my cocktail through dinner. Also, sharable food would arrive

Lives up to most of the hype - very hard to get a ressie but the pasta and dessert was worth it, and this is coming from someone who isn't crazy about pasta or dessert. Came here to treat a friend for their birthday and they loved it. We got the pin

Reservations are released two weeks in advance at midnight and go almost immediately, so set an alarm. I witnessed a few walk-ins that were seated at the bar, but most got turned away, so I recommend planning ahead. Giulia is on the same street as a

The food is one thing (And it's the best in the greater, greater Boston area) but the real charm is John at the bar. I've only been once, but I left feeling like he was family. Thanks John!! Can't wait to drive into the city to see you and enjoy the

Consistently good refined food
Iโve visited Giulia two other times before this, the last being a few years back. Itโs as good or better than I remembered. Reservations required, otherwise you can show up at opening and try to grab a bar seat, which there was a line for and ev
Underwhelming
This place had so much hype. I expected a lot more. The ambience was nice, and the place overall had a good vibeโฆ But the food was fairly expensive for what you got, the pasta seemed very average to me, and the taste combinations were acidic and a
Overrated and overpriced
My $36 squid had burnt bread crumbs that tasted worse than dirt. My friends had nice meals just donโt get the pasta with squid itโs disgusting. Iโm h and three dollars for bread , one slice.
Pasta Perfect!
Our last dinner in Boston- we saved the best to last. Guilia is a quaint, hip restaurant in Cambridge with an emphasis on Umbrian food. We had a selection of small bites, including amazing semolina cakes with a yellow tomato sauce. Then came erbazzon
Excellent Italian food and convivial atmosphere
Not your run-of-the-mill Italian fare -- unique, gourmet offerings. Bustling neighborhood place with an obvious following, appropriate for a romantic dinner or a quick dinner with friends at the bar. Wait staff know the food and the beverages extre

Wow. I visited Giulia late on a Saturday night with a party of 3. The place was busy but had a warm, welcoming interior.Truly an incredible meal and dining experience with delicious food and stellar service.- Insalata: 8.5/10 - every bite was unique,
Get the semolina cakes and the bucatini.
I wish I could eat here whenever I crave Italian - so good!

The Food was really good and the service was so accommodating. The waitress took time to explain all the menu items. Highly recommend.
One of my absolute favorite places in Greater Boston.
The descriptions of the dishes on the menu hardly do them justice - the menu rotates seasonally and reflects a variety of ingredients that highlight exceptional flavor combinations. From the smaller starters to the full entrรฉes, getting something fr

Everything at Giulia is perfection! From the moment you walk in the door you enter an a dim, cozy and friendly atmosphere. You're always greeted by a big smile and friendly staff. Every single interaction I have ever had has been nothing short of awe
Giulia is my favorite restaurant in all of Boston.
Everything is made with so much care and tastes delicious. While all of the pasta here is phenomenal, in my opinion, the pappardelle (usually with wild boar but sometimes with duck) is the best item on their menu. There are also plenty of options for
Connect with users posting reservations for Giulia Cambridge
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Giulia Cambridge. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Giulia Cambridge at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Giulia Cambridge page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Giulia Cambridge to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Giulia Cambridge!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
