Overall, reviews of Trattoria Gio describe a welcoming spot with solid Italian fare and a lively Old Port ambiance, where many diners praise flavorful pizzas, pastas, and desserts and note friendly, attentive service when it runs well. The kitchen is credited with well prepared dishes like pasta and braised meats, and the atmosphere and value are frequently highlighted. At times, however, service is described as slow, disorganized, or inconsistent, with delays in seating, taking orders, or delivering courses and occasional order mix ups, and a few dishes arriving too salty or not as hot as hoped. When issues arise, staff or management are described as making efforts to rectify things, and many guests say they would return for the food and overall experience. In sum, Trattoria Gio is regarded as a solid, enjoyable option with strong flavors and a pleasant vibe, though service experiences can vary.
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.
The food here is excellent , we enjoyed the ambience as well . Our server Emmie was very kind & has a very positive energy! The place is easily accessible & great choices & range of Italian cuisine is available !

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.
We just had a great dinner at Trattoria Gio. We walked in without a reservation & met Yanis our waiter. The food was delicious, we had the chicken which was moist & seasoned perfectly. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Our girls enjoyed their pasta dish & we topped it off with Gelato & Tiramisu.
