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.

Took my boyfriend here for his birthday lunch. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered caprese (8.5/10) for starters fettuccine Alfredo & margarita pizza & tiramisu for dessert (all 10/10) The service was nicely timed not too quick not late. Beautiful ambience & view. Spent 76$ including tip.

Place looks nice! I ordered when arriving to Canada. Placed a phone order for pick up. When I arrived they didn't know I hadn't paid lucky were honest people & make sure to do so. I was excited to try some pasta in canada... this was not it. Alfredo was more like fast food.. no flavor. To be honest I didn't enjoy.

When I decided to take my boys to a late dinner at Trattoria Gio I expected that the food would only be mediocre, since the location would be perfect for a tourist trap. The service was friendly & attentive however the food was as expected: underwhelming. I bet that the pizza they serve is frozen. I'm not complaining about this, as mentioned, it met my expectations. The reason I'm writing this are all the raving reviews about this great Italian food. Folks, you can definitely have a good time at this place but great Italian food is not what is being served here.

Le personnel est très pro, attentionné & rapide. L'ambiance est cosy. Malheureusement le prix est pour moi excessif au vu des plats servit.. J'ai pris des lasagnes à 27$, cela faisait longtemps que je n'en avais pas mangé & j'en rêvais jusqu'à ce que je découvre que c'était simplement des pâtes à lasagne avec de la sauce tomate, même pas de béchamel, c'était donc trop acide. Tant pis j'ai été déçu mais j'aurais pu pardonner jusque là... Si je n'étais pas tombée très malade quelques heures après sur le retour: crampe d'estomac, grosse nausée, je me tordais de douleur à presque m'évanouir & j'en passe.

This restaurant has deteriorated recently. The service & availability was terrible. The food was still good. We ask for bread & were brought 5 pces for a table of 7. Asked for a second order of bread which never came. Ordered a soda which came 3/4 through the meal. Order coffee & they're out of sugar at 8pm on NYE. & the coffee was brought with no spoon. I guess they knew I wouldn't need it.
