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.

We were looking for a place to Watch the world cup game & ran into this restaurant. What a happy accident, the service was great & food was delicious.
We tried the Calamari, the caprese salad & I think it was the Gio pasta with chicken. Everything was great. We were able to cool of & watch the game while enjoying great food & cold beer. To end our meal we had the tiramisu with coffee.

Best thing about this place had nothing to do with the restaurant but the ambiance from the patio & the music played in the square . Horrible service food was not memorable & very basic. The service & my drink had a bug in it that basically she told me it wasn't there when she gave it to me so I picked it out of my drink while she watched me . They never came back to our table to service us . Do not come here!

Excellent all around. Two of us had pasta, two had pizza. All had empty plates at the end. The tiramisu was awesome.

The quality of food was very poor. We ordered multiple items including pastas, pizzas, salmon & apps. Very low quality for the price. You're better off eating at Boston Pizza.

Trattoria Gio was easily one of the highlights of our time in Old Montreal. The food was absolutely outstanding authentic Italian dishes made with quality ingredients & full of flavor. Every plate at our table was excellent.

What really stood out was the service. The staff were warm, welcoming, & genuinely friendly throughout the entire evening, making us feel well taken care of from start to finish.

After trying several restaurants in the area, including some that have higher online ratings, Trattoria Gio was actually our favorite. The combination of incredible food, great atmosphere, & attentive service made for a much better overall dining experience.

If you're looking for Italian food in Old Montreal, this is a restaurant I would happily return to & recommend to others. Highly recommend! 🇮🇹🍝🍷
