Review Summary

Overall, reviews of Trattoria Gio describe a welcoming spot with solid Italian fare and a lively Old Port ambiance, where many diners praise flavorful pizzas, pastas, and desserts and note friendly, attentive service when it runs well. The kitchen is credited with well prepared dishes like pasta and braised meats, and the atmosphere and value are frequently highlighted. At times, however, service is described as slow, disorganized, or inconsistent, with delays in seating, taking orders, or delivering courses and occasional order mix ups, and a few dishes arriving too salty or not as hot as hoped. When issues arise, staff or management are described as making efforts to rectify things, and many guests say they would return for the food and overall experience. In sum, Trattoria Gio is regarded as a solid, enjoyable option with strong flavors and a pleasant vibe, though service experiences can vary.

Worst pasta & ravioli I've ever had. The bathroom is a disaster - broken & smelly. Service took forever even though the place was empty. Drinks & cocktails came after food!

Food is amazing to say the least. Atmosphere is wonderful, but I had to take off a star for the service. We sat for 20 minutes before even being greeted by a server at our table, & it took 30 minutes to get our drinks. Food came steadily after that but it was very difficult to get the attention of a server when we needed something. But honestly the food was wonderful.

Went with family for evening dinner. The food was good however kinda feel scammed...asked for 3 PEPSI..was brought 1 Pepsi & two diet Pepsi (cannot drink diet) ask for replacement pops & nephew asked for second Pepsi they then brought 2 regular Pepsi for us & a diet Pepsi for nephew. Not to argue I paid the bill with all correct & incorrect pops included did not want to make a scene I kinda feel look down upon & taken advantage of because I'm a visitor.

Service vraiment moyen, on a dû demander de l'eau 3 fois, le serveur était pas attentionné. Les drinks pas goûteux, calmar frit très moyen, pizza caprese sans sel ça goutait rien, au moins les pâtes étaient bonnes.

Holy crap the food is NOT worth price or calories. Ceaser salad was giving East Side Mario's & pizza was Delissio from the frozen section. Pasta sauce was incredibly watery & bland, wasn't even offered cracked pepper (the pastas were close to $30 each). Our server was sweet & reassuring when the drinks took long, they also killed the dirty martini & spicy margarita so that's the reason I didn't give 1 star. Pleeeeease save yourself & pick a different spot.
