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!

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.

Food came fast & tasted great. The server was very accommodating & quick to help. The Ravioli was cooked nice & fit very well with the burrata. Overall it was an amazing experience.

GREAT dinner! Everyone was SO friendly. Our server Yanis was attentive & very kind. We ordered the bruschetta, spinach ravioli, & spaghetti bolognese. Everything was delicious. We would definitely return. (They also all spoke English & were very friendly towards us being American).

The atmosphere was wonderful. A warm fall night in Montreal sitting on a patio having dinner was a dream. The service was pretty great too. Both waiters were pretty attentive to our needs. However, for my daughter & I, the food was poor. I ordered the spinach ricotta ravioli. The first few bites were delectable, however, I noted that the next few raviolis tasted like fish, which I don't like. I asked the waiter about this. He said they do have lobster ravioli too. I guess they mixed them up in my dish? It's a good thing my husband who has a fish allergy wasn't with us. The next ravioli that I tried was so hard that I couldn't get my fork through it. I am guessing it was not cooked? There were about 2 or 3 of these on the plate too. The waiter offered us free coffee & dessert, but we declined. I was comped my dish. However, when we walked away, my daughter said her pasta was not cooked well either. Hopefully this was just a 1, 2 off, & not a regular occurrence at this restaurant.

Les employés se dépeche de vous servir avec un grand sourire & prenne le soin de vous accompagner tout au long du repas , qui lui est délicieux . Jai choisi le ravioli agarosta & je suis autant surpris de la qualité du homard que du court temps d'attente ,qui ne se ressent même pas lorsqu'on choisi un de leur vin frais .

Beau restaurant, serveur très attentionné, portion extrêmement généreuse. Pâtes au homard: un peu décevant (malgré les critiques positives lues sur votre site), car beaucoup de fromage dans le ravioli
