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.

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.

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! 🇮🇹🍝🍷

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.

Good food, good service, & great place for rest after old sight seeing at old port. Food is not super crazy but the quantity is good. *Venue: cute patio at old port plus a large space inside. We were looking for a place to eat lunch & rest after a long walk at downtown in a hot weather. The large space inside with good air conditioning lured us inside. The theme is Italian which was cute but they played latin music which was a bit unfit🙃 *Food: good portion, good quality, okayish taste. We ordered one arugula salad & pasta dish for two hungry people. We were quite satisfied with the portion. Salad taste was amazing. Pasta taste was very ordinary. We also ordered white wine, we got very small amount fod the price which was a bit disappointing 🙃 *Service: good & friendly staff but a bit slow service. *Price: I think it is a bit overpriced but so are the restaurants in the neighborhood.

So pretty much, the service was great with this one guy, ordered a linguini aglio olio with him & all that. But then the manager I think? Came up took over & then the service quality went down, the busboy had a better service than the manager. Frankly disappointed.
