  Giulia is a walkable restaurant that has become an all-time favorite due to the extremely and consistently high quality of the cuisine and the warm and professional service. We have recommended it highly to friends, and we've brought many friends to introduce them to Giulia. That's why it's sad to report 2 recent experiences there that were so out of synch - and in the second instance made us agree not to come back - I was preparing to make another reservation before leaving, but didn't do that. In the first instance a whole fish was served without the provision of having the server prepare the fish . When we asked, the only answer was "the chef likes is served this way." Well, the chef wasn't eating it, the customer was, and the customer was surprised to find a service offered in any restaurant in Italy, unavailable in a fine Italian restaurant in Cambridge. Plus the server's response came with a tinge of unappetizing arrogance. In the second instance we observed (and our dinner with a friend was negatively affected by) a situation at the table next to us. The diner noted to the server an unappetizing amount of gristle on the steak, and because she did not have time to wait for another dinner (our dinners also had taken an unusually long time to arrive) she asked just that her bill be reduced. What I observed was not the gracious response you would expect at Giulia. The response involved a manager coming to the table to tell the diner that she WOULD be paying for her WHOLE meal. An argument ensued, loud enough to interrupt our conversation. None of us had ever seen a response like this at a nice restaurant. The food was awesome, we would have licked out plates if we weren't better brought up - but we still left with a bad taste in our mouths.

  We tried out this restaurant on a weekend night. It was spectacular. Service was outstanding (our server refilled our chips and soda/water). Chips were fresh and warm and were excellent. Food was superb. We ordered a salad with salmon, chicken fajitas, and a quesadilla. Prices were less than other venues. We will definitely return.
