    We enjoyed the cozy ambiance and a nice Italian meal at this well located restaurant in old Montreal. The service was very attentive and friendly. We appreciated that they were open on Sunday evenings as many were not. We wouldn’t hesitate to return when we’re in the area.

    We did love the restaurant, but the one complaint we have is the waiter did not come back and ask if we wanted a second Drink or check on our food. But overall, the food was amazing .

    Very happy with my experience overall. The staff was wonderfully accommodating of my partner’s disability, very patient and kind. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. If I had to critique anything, it’s that it took nearly an hour before our food was served. We were informed that this was unusual, and the result of a surprise surge of dining guests. But slow service is a small price to pay for patient staff and delicious food. I’ll definitely be back.

    Went to Gio on New Years Eve and couldn't have been happier. We wanted a low key casual dinner and Gio was perfect. The staff was amazing and the Hostess cleaned off a table by the window so we could check out the action. We had a pizza for an app and it was fantastic. We each ordered a pasta and they were incredible and massive portions. Highly recommend Gio if you craving a nice casual Italian dinner in the old port.

    Quite possibly the best Italian food I’ve had anywhere! Simple dishes but done incredibly well. We had the bruschetta appetizer which was very fresh. Spaghetti bolognese and penne rose for entrees. Both super flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly. From the drinks to dessert (tiramisu) everything was done right.

    Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we received everything we asked for and more. Gio the owner came to our table and we spoke of Italy and the town he s from which happens to be my father in laws town in Campobasso. I mentioned to him if he served rabbit but said he did not. After some time we talked about possibly having rabbit this week during our stay. Great guy!! Hope to see him again. grazi Gio!!

    Overall liked the ambiance - sat outside where there were a few other tables to enjoy the warmer fall weather. Took ten minutes before a waiter came over to ask for our drink orders and since it took so long to get someone’s attention we put our entire order in. Started with the bruschetta which was underwhelming - not that impressed for $12 and we each had a pasta dish that lacked flavor and something we easily could’ve made at home. Not worth it for $24/plate. When we did have a waiter he was friendly and helpful but this place isn’t somewhere I’d visit again or recommend.

    I'm conflicted bc the food COULD have been good but it was missing some serious substance. The service COULD have been good but was seriously lacking. Our server was really nice but not once during our main course did she follow up to see how it was or even bother filling up our water glasses. We literally got our water glasses filled up while we were paying our bill. Add on to the fact that everyone was wearing their jackets in the dining room bc it was so cold... I wouldn't recommend to anyone that was relying on me for an honest opinion

    We enjoyed dinner at Trattoria Gio. We were at first disappointed that our request for an outdoor table via OpenTable app was not possible, or we’d have to wait an additional hour. We were about 20 minutes early for our 8:30 pm reservation so we enjoyed a drink at the small bar inside. The Bartender was friendly and personable and the four of us enjoyed chatting with him. We were given a table promptly at 8:30 in the front center of the restaurant inside. It was not loud and we enjoyed our time there. Our server was nice and professional but not friendly. My pizza was very good, my husband enjoyed the lasagna. Not sure what the others ate. The interior is nicely decorated. There were people dressed up and also more casual in nice shorts.
