About

Trattoria Gio serves a focused menu centered on authentic Italian culinary traditions. The kitchen prioritizes scratch-made pasta dishes tossed in rich, slow-simmered sauces that highlight seasonal ingredients. Pizzas emerge from a high-temperature oven, featuring thin, blistered crusts topped with fresh mozzarella and aromatic herbs. The interior design emphasizes functional simplicity, providing a direct view into the bustling food preparation areas. Diners observe the precise assembly of artisanal doughs and cured meats integrated into signature compositions. This establishment maintains a commitment to classic flavor profiles while adhering to established techniques found across regional Italian cooking styles. The resulting environment fosters a direct connection between the culinary production and the consumption of substantial, ingredient-forward plates that define this specific approach to traditional Mediterranean preparation methods.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre dîner sur la terrasse de la Trattoria Gio. Ma fille a trouvé la pizza vraiment bonne & mon épouse & moi nous sommes régalés. Le service était excellent. Merci d'avoir accepté notre chien sur la terrasse!

Our server for some reason showed up once & then went completely MIA despite calling multiple times. Food was OK, not great.

We had a wonderful meal at Trattoria Gio on our visit to Montreal. The waitress was very helpful & friendly & the food was delicious. We shared a few appetizers, the focaccia & the Caesar salad, & had the chocolate torte for dessert. Everything was great!

If you can chose somewhere else, please do. Got there with a reservation. Water didn't come after 20 min sitting down. A pasta we ordered tasted like pasta water & we requested a change that took an hour. No manager in site to complain. All servers acted dumb or they just don't know how to do their jobs. Worst pasta place in town.

Very unpleasant atmosphere, highly unprofessional behavior. The bartender was fighting with a colleague & smashed a glass at the bar, which made us feel very uncomfortable. After all that, when we left a basic tip for the waitress, she gave us attitude.

Ambiance très désagréable, comportement très peu professionnel. Le barman a insulté un collègue avant de briser un verre au bar, ce qui nous a mis très mal à l'aise. Après tout cela, lorsque nous avons laissé un pourboire ordinaire à la serveuse, elle a eu une attitude désagréable.

Nous avons pris une pause pour l'apéro dans cet établissement. Super service ! Le staff est très sympa, nous avions une réservation dans un autre restaurant pour le souper mais les odeurs qui s'échappaient des tables environnantes vont nous emmenés à y retourner c'est certain !
Wow ! Les plats qui passaient près de nous.
En passant , le décor intérieur est magnifique!
& mon aperol Spritz était délicieux
