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.

The service was TERRIBLE! We sat for 15 minutes before getting water. We then waited another 10 to order. Our water glasses were empty almost the entire time - unless we flagged someone down to refill them. I ordered the cesear salad & it was hands down the worst I've ever had. I wasn't able to tell the waiter that because he never came back until we flagged him down for our check. Overall, do not recommend.

We had a great dinner tonight at the Trattoria. My chicken was so moist & tender. My husband's Salmon was so moist & buttery. My girls loved their pasta dishes. Our server Yanis was fabulous. Such a great find in old Montreal amongst all the tourist restaurants. Reasonably priced as well.
