Best Chilli Mussels in Perth! I’m a Freo local & fully vouch for Gino’s. Love the atmosphere, the view looking onto Freo’s historical coffee strip. Reading through the other reviews; it should be noted that all drinks (including coffees/teas) must be ordered at the bar - the main counter is for ordering meals (with drinks) are to be ordered at the main counter. Never had a issue; friendly staff, delicious food and great view.
Couldn’t recommend Gino’s any more. Thanks to the staff & cooks.
At No 1 South terrace ,Ginos cafe and trattoria is the Hub of Fremantle.
Opened by a tailor turned Reataurater called Gino Seccone ,Ginos
quickly became the best place in Fremantle, for traditional Italian food & coffee.
I was there last week for a family gathering.
It was a sunny Sunday and the cafe was packed .
We ordered superb Chilli mussels , Spaghetti Bolognaise ,Panini with calamari,
Steak sandwich with chips & salad & Ravioli . Everything was very good, except for the pumpkin and spinach ravioli which was hard and not cooked properly.
The coffee was quite bitter ;which is how the Italians like it.
My Prosecco was excellent .They also have beers & spirits & Australian & Italian wines.
They have some very good cakes & pastries( if you can fit them in) as the food servings are quite large.
After over thirty years , Ginos has a large and loyal following.
Even when busy , the service is excellent .
It is a very relaxing place to sit & chat or watch the world go by, on South Terrace.
One of the few places open after 9pm in Fremantle on a weekday, ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was pretty good (not gourmet but better than I was expecting 'late' at night) - would return as it was served quickly and service was good.
Only marked these guys down because of the rude arrogant chefs. Had breakfast here Sunday morning, we were early and not many about. The service was spot on, the coffee was fantastic and the breakfast not that bad. I can see why some may think the staff is rude but I was treated nicely and respectfully. Oh I need to make a point, the orange juice was proper and bloody brilliant!!!
Gino's is well located on the Fremantle cafe strip. Dining options of inside (if you want some peace n quiet) or outside (if you like people watching lol).
I ordered the Alla Panna (chicken pasta) which was served with minimal waiting time. You do have to order/pay at the counter (sometimes there is a bit of a line) and there is a separate drinks line.
Overall I liked this place...price around $25.
Great food popped in for breckfast low service took too long for coffee to come out but it was a fantastic coffee when It arrived a little warm for my liking but all in all very nice spot for watching people and great to catch the morning sun
weekend away to fremantle...... good ol Ginos not many places on the strip open for sunday breakfast - the coffee was to die for the breaki was great also still worth the visit and reasonably priced
Love this place, though it's a bit pricey. A lot more expensive than most breakfast menus -they do cook BF until 11:30am though. We have never been disappointed with the food. This time I had ricotta scrambled eggs-I couldn't finish it, such a large portion. The bread was fresh, perfectly toasted and smelt divine. Beautiful favours in the eggs- besides ricotta, tomato and fresh herbs❤️ my companions were very impressed also. My only disappointment was that they use tea bags instead of loose leaf tea. Queuing for drinks can also be irksome especially if you only require a water top up. A water station would be a vast improvement. Otherwise highly recommend.
I grew up with Gino's so I am biased.
The coffee has always been good, sometimes exceptional and the essence of the old Fremantle style.
The omelette was ok but a bit dry. The prosciutto and sundried tomatoes were full of flavour. The side of sausages were good.
A pleasant breakfast but loaded with a bunch of old memories so take this as you will.
Fresh home made pasta, good coffee and great location. Food is really tasty and traditional. One of the only places we could get a bite of Italian on the cappuccino strip at 2130 on a Saturday night!
Gino's is a very good restaurant. I ate some of their Eggs Benedict and it was wonderful and some freshly squeezed Orange Juice. The eggs were a little cold, however, it was still a great meal.
Parked on Essex St. Short stroll to lovely Gino's. Fast friendly service and the food was delicious. We both had Chicken in creamy mushroom sauce, fries and Salad. Sat and watched the world go by. Wonderful.
Meals that Nonna would approve of! Our go to restaurant when in Freo. The meals are always excellent, served in quick time and the staff are always happy and accommodating! We would recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy a delicious Italian meal.
Gorgeous food, friendly staff. I had Gamberi Sambucca and I will definately have it again. Absolutely DEVINE.
