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.

Far from Italian food or even good food. Pizza that seemed frozen & pasta that was tasteless & sticking together. It is just a quite expensive tourist trap. Very disappointing.

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.

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 .

Trattoria Gio is a very nice Italian spot in Old Port with very courteous staff & good food! I ordered the Caprese pizza & mojito & both tasted yum!! The mojito was a bit sour for my taste but the staff was able to accommodate my request & adjust it accordingly. Overall, good experience! 😊
