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.
Très très ordinaire, Calamars frits; sec & sans goût servi avec une sauce rouge, mayo épicé non disponible. Mes pâtes au fruit de mer avec un goût de sauce a 2$ acheté chez IGA, non je n'y retournerai pas.
Nous y sommes allés en milieu d'après-midi, un peu long avant que le serveur vienne prendre notre commande, (il n'y avait que 8 clients) j'ai failli partir... mais la nourriture est excellente.

The food here is good, but the atmosphere is amazing!! Right outside the terrace there was a wonderful live music performance, & bustling & vibrant energy. Plus in view are some gorgeous buildings like the Montreal city hall!
Very nice restaurant with very good & attentive service. They allow dogs on the patio!!! Not many places do in the old port which sucks so this place was accommodating & they even offered our dogs water. We got pizzas & they were great.
When you are travelling with dogs, four dogs no less, it is hard to find places to stop & eat. Tristan was so great to let us sit on the patio & turned on the heaters for us to warm up on a cold & rainy afternoon. The food & service were excellent. Recommend you check this place out if you are at Place Jacques Cartie
Highly recommend this restaurant! The food was amazing!!! My kids had the calamari & Alfredo pasta & rated it 100 stars!! They were that satisfied!!! The service was excellent!!! Our server was very friendly & recommended cocktails for us to try!!! Overall a great place!!!
Delicious food & atmosphere. Everything exceeded expectations & everyone was super kind. The pesto gnocchi was the best, & truffle fries to die for. Also a very nice patio seating.

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 .
