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.

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!

I had an amazing experience at Trattoria Gio.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, authentic, & inviting. A big shoutout to server, Emmie who was incredibly welcoming, attentive, & genuinely made me feel at home.

The food was outstanding. Chef Dali truly knows what he's doing. The Penna Alla Gigi he recommended was exceptional - perfectly balanced flavours, rich yet not overwhelming, & clearly made with care & expertise.

Overall, everything about this place: the food, the service, & the atmosphere was top-tier. The staff really elevated the entire experience & made it a solid 5-star visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Italian experience.

I had a really disappointing experience at this restaurant. The pasta sauce tasted like it was right out of a can. There was no cheese, & the pasta didn't taste fresh. My friends got the pizza, & it was also nothing special. We were there with a big group, & the service was at least decent & they brought our food fast.
However, the owner or someone working there came over & asked us to leave a positive review in exchange for a free tiramisu. It really felt like a tourist trap, especially considering the price. I paid about $37 for one bowl of pasta, & it just wasn't worth it. I would not recommend this place.
