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.

One of the best pasta dishes we've ever had!

This was such a disappointing experience that I did not bother with pictures. A sign should have been with the mystery liquid that covered 40% of the floor in front of the urinals in the men's washroom, but I had to alert staff to. Then, our server forgot our orders, but blamed the kitchen. Again, not a huge deal, but when she decided to sit with her friends, take a shot of alcohol, & help herself to the food on the table, things became more clear. My wife ordered pasta, but was not offered parmesan like other tables that received pasta were. As predisposed as we are to lingering over coffees & dessert, we took a pass on this .Given the quality of so many other restaurants in Montreal, I will not be returning to this one.

What an amazing experience! We came from London, Ontario for a vacation, & I was really craving some good Italian food. We came across this restaurant, saw the great variety on the menu, & decided to give it a try - & I'm so glad we did!

The Vegetariana pizza was absolutely delicious. The dough was beautifully thin, soft, & perfectly cooked, & the toppings were fresh & full of flavour. Every bite was so good!

The pasta was another highlight - incredibly creamy, rich, & full of flavour. I genuinely loved every bite of it. We also tried the Spaghetti Pomodoro, & it was fantastic. The sauce was juicy, fresh, & tasted like it was made with real tomatoes, which made such a difference. Simple, fresh ingredients done really well!

The service was amazing from beginning to end. Everyone made us feel welcome, & we truly enjoyed every moment of our visit.

The atmosphere made the experience even better. They even had people performing live music, which added such a warm & lively Italian vibe to the restaurant. Great food, great service, & a wonderful atmosphere all in one place.

If you're craving authentic, flavourful Italian food, this place is definitely worth trying. We came in hoping for a good Italian meal & left extremely happy & satisfied. Would absolutely come back again! 🇮🇹🍕🍝❤?

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.

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.

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.

Excellent Italian restaurant in Old Port! The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The pasta was cooked perfectly, & the atmosphere was warm & inviting. The service really stood out as well-if you visit, ask for Yassine, who is friendly, attentive, & makes sure you have a great experience. Overall, one of the best Italian dining experiences in the area. Highly recommended!

The food here is excellent, but make sure to give yourself extra time. Great quality pasta's & appetizers. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow & even after asking to bring out plates as they are ready (after 30 minutes), it was another 20 minutes until they started rolling out. The staff were all very friendly, but there was no urgency. This is a nice spot to stop if you're exploring old Montreal & would like some quality pasta.
