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.

Great place to grab a beer on the terrace & eat fine food. Ambiance is good & they are right on the corner of the pedestrian street in the Old Port of Montreal. Great place. Can have line ups in the summer as its very well located & a trendy place.

Bonjour,
Une des pires expériences en resto à Montréal, sinon la pire!!!!
Nous étions un groupe de 6, l'accueil était bien, sans plus. On nous a proposé l'apéritif. Le Bloody César reçu était tellement épicé qu'il en était pas buvable. On en a commandé un autre, moins épicé, qu'on a jamais reçu. On a demandé du pain, on a reçu des croûtons très secs, voir brûlés. Sur 6 personnes, seulement 3 ont reçus leurs plats. Les 3 autres ont du attendre, car selon la serveuse, il y a eu un problème en cuisine. 20 minutes plus tard, 2 autres plats sont arrivés...& il a fallu attendre un autre 30-40 minutes pour recevoir la dernière pizza, qui avait probablement été oubliée d'être commandé/préparé. On nous a même enlevé nos assiettes avant que le dernier plat arrive!!! Lorsqu'on a commandé 2 verres de vin, le délai était long, & la raison émise...'nous n'avions plus de verre à vin disponible'...la serveuse nous a mentionné qu'elle demanderait au gérant une accommodation pour tous ces déficiences, mais rien ne nous a ete offert...même pas de café ou digestifs. Donc, une très mauvaise expérience à ce restaurant & selon nous, EVITEZ CET ENDROIT POUR LE MOMENT CAR L'ÉQUIPE EST MAUVAISE. Merci!

W Trattoria Gio jedzenie by?o naprawd? bardzo smaczne, a obs?uga fantastyczna. Kelnerka Berenice by?a niezwykle sympatyczna, pomocna i u?miechni?ta, rzadko spotyka si? tak autentyczn? i serdeczn? obs?ug?. Tym bardziej zrobi?o to na nas wra?enie, ?e by? to jej pierwszy dzie?, o czym od razu nas poinformowa?a. ?wietne jedzenie, atmosfera i wspania?a obs?uga, zdecydowanie miejsce warte odwiedzenia 😊
