Giulietta Toronto

Giulietta sits on College Street, positioned a fifteen-minute walk north of Trinity Bellwoods Park. It holds a spot at number 65 on the 2024 Canada's 100 Best list. The kitchen focuses on Italian, seafood, and Mediterranean cooking.

The restaurant is dressier than the casual joints dotting the surrounding blocks, but that formality is the main draw here. While its competitors in the city’s south-end nightlife hubs rely on volume, the room runs smart to prioritize the plate over the noise. It is a necessary alternative to the bustle of the nearby strips; you choose this for the discipline in the kitchen rather than the proximity to the hotels or the park.
