Review Summary

Trattoria Gio offers solid Italian comfort with well executed pastas and pizzas, fresh pasta and flavorful sauces, and a lively yet approachable vibe in the Old Port. Across reviews, the food lands as tasty and well prepared, with mentions of al dente linguine, burrata, bolognese, and a variety of crowd pleasing dishes. Service is frequently praised for warmth and attentiveness, though a number of visits report slower, inconsistent experiences, ordering mix ups, and higher prices for the value. The overall vibe combines casual chic with a family friendly feel, making it a popular choice for groups and celebrations, and many guests say they would return for the strong flavors and hospitality. The venue is described as accessible with good ambiance and patio options, and while some feel the experience is good but not exceptional, others highlight memorable nights and a sense of a special Old Montreal dining option.

Yassine was an INCREDIBLE server! From the Pasta dish to the delicious Lime Mojito (perfect blend between a drink & something refreshing). As visitors to MTL, I can say for certainty, I Montre-WILL be coming back!

The service was fantastic! The food was cooked to perfection, & the drinks were made deliciously well! I had the riggatoni à la gio & it was perfection! So delicious!! I would highly recommend coming here if you're in town! & our server, Yassine, was incredibly friendly & very professional! He made the experience better!

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.
