Trattoria Gio offers solid Italian comfort with well executed pastas and pizzas, fresh pasta and flavorful sauces, and a lively yet approachable vibe in the Old Port. Across reviews, the food lands as tasty and well prepared, with mentions of al dente linguine, burrata, bolognese, and a variety of crowd pleasing dishes. Service is frequently praised for warmth and attentiveness, though a number of visits report slower, inconsistent experiences, ordering mix ups, and higher prices for the value. The overall vibe combines casual chic with a family friendly feel, making it a popular choice for groups and celebrations, and many guests say they would return for the strong flavors and hospitality. The venue is described as accessible with good ambiance and patio options, and while some feel the experience is good but not exceptional, others highlight memorable nights and a sense of a special Old Montreal dining option.
Came to this place with some friends from out of town & this place has a great ambience & great music. The food is amazing & the food came right on time. Our server Yassine was amazing he was so kind & made us feel welcome. Yassine's service was outstanding & had our food brought to us quickly & fresh.

Yassine was an INCREDIBLE server! From the Pasta dish to the delicious Lime Mojito (perfect blend between a drink & something refreshing). As visitors to MTL, I can say for certainty, I Montre-WILL be coming back!

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.
