Trattoria Giuliana

TERRIBLE SERVICE

As a special treat my in-laws decided to take me and my family out to this restaurant for a family dinner. We left our house at 5:35pm and walked down the street. After waiting 1/2 hour for our drinks, our server (name we don't know as she didn't tell us) took the orders. After another HOUR of waiting we left. Our food was not on the table and we were told it would be another 20 minutes. We had 2 children with us one of whom was EXTREMELY hungry and became restless. We were told that they would wrap up our food at no charge but we already had our coats on and left. The table beside us who came in after us had been served and had FINISHED their meals and were drinking their coffee. The service was completely horrible and I would NEVER recommend this restaurant to anyone. I understand that everything is made fresh, but it is also my understanding that fresh pasta takes less time than pre-made pasta.

Great dinner

Im new on this site so I hope this works. Ha-ha. We went in for dinner with 2 friends of ours, and weve been a few times before and it is always great. The service was awesome the waitors were very attentive and they seemed to have a little two man comedy show. The food was great, as usual. Surprised when they told us it was a 21 year old cooking. Really enjoyed our dinner. However at the end we went up to pay, and the woman that owns it was sitting at the bar eating and on her computer with a glass of wine. I thought it was good that she could relax while her employees did the work, but it appeared that she refused to help. She wouldnt do our debit so she got one of the young boys to ring it through for us. We conversed a bit and she appeared to be slurry her words and repeat a lot of what she said. Makes me wonder about the wine thing. Ha-ha. Either way it was a great night out, will return for sure!

Anniversary

I thought it was a small quiet place but the food wasn't as good as I was told by a friend. I found it very expensive for what I got. Staff not so friendly. We celebrated our 5th anniversary here and will never go back.

Went to this restaurant last night for my husband's work Christmas party. It was terrible. The food was tasteless. My husband and his boss ordered the trio special. The presentation was awful. It just looked like a bunch of noodles thrown on a plate with a little sauce on top. I ordered the linguine with mussels, shrimp and clams. It had no flavour. I didn't even finish it. When we got there we were sat with our group and it took 15 minutes before a waitress even came over to ask us if we wanted a drink. We asked for different drinks and everything we asked for they didn't have. I ended up drinking water. My husband's boss and his wife ordered caesars and it took 20 minutes to get it. Our tables were set up so that some people at one end of the table couldn't even see the people at the other end. We were put in an L shape with a pole in the middle. Overall, the food was tasteless and took forever to get. The service was awful. If you wanted a drink you had to wave a waitress down and it took 20 minutes to get it. Even pop or water. They never came to ask us if we wanted another drink we had to call them over. They took away appetizers that weren't even finished without asking if we were finished. Also, 3 of the people at the table ordered chicken parmesan and the chicken was paper thin with what looked like a processed piece of mozzarella cheese on top. So to sum it up the service was terrible, the food was bland and not plated very appetizingly. It was a nice enough looking restaurant inside. I would not return and the other 13 people with us said they would not either. I do not recommend this restaurant.

Trattoria Giuliana is a quaint little Italian restaurant located in Brantford, Ontario. Its cozy atmosphere and great, authentic Italian food make you feel like you are in Nona’s kitchen. Having a single owner with great family values, Trattoria is run will love and devotes all its time to ensuring customer satisfaction through great service. Being from Brantford I visit Trattoria quite often and have had the privilege of meeting the family. I love going there to enjoy great food or to just sit and share a bottle of wine with friends. The food at Trattoria is prepared by a professional chef who knows what real Italian food is all about. He makes sure that every dish he sends out is a representation of himself and the restaurant. My favourite dish to get at Trattoria is the gnocchi and I love pairing it with a big glass of pinot. I recommend Trattoria Giuliana to anyone in Brantford or passing through Brantford who wants to enjoy real Italian food, an awesome atmosphere, and friendly faces. Bring the family, go with friends, or even stop by if you want time to relax by yourself, it is perfect for everyone.
