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.
Their pizza is exceptional with a blend of savory & perfection. Their service helped me pick the perfect dessert. My server's name was Yassine. I would recommend this restaurant.
Super restaurant ! Dimanche le 26 novembre, nous étions sept (cinq adultes, un ado & un enfant) & tout le monde s'est régalé. Au menu : steak, pizza & pâtes - tout était absolument délicieux ! La serveuse, dont j'ai malheureusement oublié le prénom, nous a accueillis avec un magnifique sourire & nous a préparé d'excellents cocktails. Service attentionné, ambiance agréable & plats savoureux : que demander de plus ?
Je recommande vivement la Trattoria Gio. Merci pour cette belle soirée, nous reviendrons sans hésiter !
Restaurant depicting high end but rally a low end restaurant. Service was poor. Order beverages with meal, they never came. Pizza was good. Lasagna was cold & incredibly salty. Ravioli was flavorful but presented poorly & quite a small portion for price. For the price of most dishes, choose someplace else.
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.
Trattoria Gio offre une expérience culinaire somme toute correcte. La nourriture, bien que satisfaisante, ne se démarque pas particulièrement : les pâtes & les pizzas sont dans la moyenne, sans réelle surprise ni déception. Le service est lui aussi adéquat, ni exceptionnel ni problématique.
L'ambiance du restaurant est acceptable, mais manque un peu de chaleur ou de personnalité. Côté propreté, rien à redire - l'endroit est bien entretenu, ce qui est toujours apprécié.
Le seul véritable bémol demeure les prix, qui sont au-dessus de la moyenne pour ce type d'établissement, surtout compte tenu de la qualité offerte.
En résumé, Trattoria Gio est une option convenable si vous êtes dans le secteur, mais il existe des alternatives offrant un meilleur rapport qualité-prix.

There were nine of us & every single one of us loved what we had. Yanis was an amazing & charming waiter❣? my daughter & I split the Fungi pizza & Caesar salad. It was more than we could eat. Beautiful ambience inside as well❣?🥰
The food was AMAZING! Our party of 9 tried pizza, ravioli, spaghetti, Bolognese, bruschetta & cocktails. Everything was amazing as well as our server, Yanis!
We were a group of 6. While having some issues withe order mix up with order but- the food did not disappoint. It was fresh & tasty. Chicken dish was exceptionally good. Pizza was also good. We had a mix up with the order but the establishment was sincerely apologetic & did care to make their customer happy by offering concessions. Would recommend.
Trattoria Gio deserves a special mention. The evening that we visited, there was a power outage. But we were adamant about having dinner here on our final night in Montreal & we have zero regrets! Everything we ordered - the pizza & the bolognese pasta - were amazing! The kitchen was running thru some issues due to the power outage but they still were able to accommodate our requests. We were too busy eating to take pictures, & we sure were happy campers with our Trattoria Gio experience!
