Gio's - St-Sauveur — Restaurant in Saint-Sauveur

When is St Sauveur going to get a decent Italian restaurant?

We had planned on going to Mo's for New Years dinner. As we walked there we passed Gio's and walked in. To our surprise we got a table. We always wanted to try Gio's. We did and will NOT return.

Great location, great look from the outside, nice staff inside. Food is awful. It has lots going for it but the food was frozen junk. My caesar salad had no taste and bacon bits. My onion soup was literally only onion soup until I paid extra for cheese and bread crumbs as they called it. My Keg frozen French onion soup at home is far better. Actually the soup tasted ok. I ordered lasagna. I have never eaten such a tight packed lasagna. The centre was frozen. What does that tell you? My bill which I could barley read (the ink must have been out of the machine), I had an extra charges for what the waitress called parmesan fondue which was more like a cold mozzarella stick, bread crumbs and cheese on my onion soup and the sad salad.

The place has potential but the food is really sub par.

By the way there were all kinds of open tables on New Years eve. We should have clued in.

Good luck.

Next place we will try will be...

I had high hopes based on all the great reviews, however the service was rude, awkward and honestly abysmal at best. We could not speak great French and the server was very rude about it, we tried our best however she avoided us and was very cold. It took 30 minutes for our drinks. The waitress passed us many times, ignoring our table and serving all the others around despite waiting a long time to put in our food orders. The food took an hour to arrive and in turn was cold/room temp at best. The atmosphere was cute and homey though. Overall, we were there for 2.5 hours, and wanted to leave practically the whole time. The food was so bland. The spicy muscles just tasted like nothing, and our carbonara and Alfredo tasted like straight heavy cream. Leaving feeling sick and...

Very disappointing. Bolognese sauce was very sour and Napolitano sauce bland. Bolognese was so sour it was not consumed. Provided polite feedback. Server was very polite but owner or manager did not even offer anything to offset the experience. We asked for the bill and were charged full price. I politely mentioned this to server who was very nice but who s response was "I am not the owner". We paid and left, returned home after paying close to 100$ to sit in our dining room to have dinner. Looking back I should have insisted to see the owner. We recently moved to the region and discovered great places to eat. This one has been stricken off the list. I must say we have been spoiled with amazing Italian food so...
