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!
Best omelette in Perth! Holy moley this is good...bacon, red onion, zucchini and bocconcini with fresh chilli and sourdough bread. Highly recommended
Haven't been to Gino's for years and was pleasantly surprised. Coffee was good and really enjoyed my breakfast. Having to fetch coffee from bar is a little unusual.
Amazing apple pie and apple crumble. I'll always stop by there when I'm in fremantle for my favourite treat. Very happy with the friendly service.
Coffee and breakfast was ok. Don't like the idea that we have to go back to the counter to carry our own drinks. Waiter rushing around so much and so busy. Interesting place to visit but not a good place to have a relaxing meal.
Had the lasagne on Saturday (26/4). Massive serving and was delicious! Waiter came around to offer fresh parmesan cheese, how good! I loaded up. Free wifi as well, just need to ask for the password
Definitely come back!
Went to Gino's today for a coffee and grabbed some breakfast. Kept it simple with the bacon & eggs and Gino's special- we will be back, it was a great breakkie stop on a rainy cool morning!
Oh my hat.. Outstanding in every way, definitely worth a visit or 5
Good coffee and a nice spot in freo
Love it! Best chilli mussels and the pastas are absolutely divine
Love this place! Great location and great Italian food and even better coffee! Must try the coffee and their quality cakes!
It was perfect! After the bad reviews I have read lately, I wasn't sure about going when I was invited with friends. I am so glad I did. We all had a wonderful breakfast. Everything cooked to perfection. The service was friendly, fast and faultless. Thanks Gino's for a great start to the day.
Great coffee & Food. As a regular customer i always opt to go for a coffee/ breakfast / dinner at Gino's- Coffee was awesome, food amazing and the service was right on point. Not to sure what the other people are on about.
Fabulous menu and delicious fast breakfast coffee and OJ. Always excellent. Love it.
Typical Trattoria - Loved it!. My sister and I were in Fremantle for a long weekend and absolutely LOVED this place! Full of character and Italians! And it was air conditioned which was a major plus as it was very hot humid over the Australia Day long weekend.
The service was fast and efficient, you ordered at the counter and then collected your drinks from the bar and the food was brought to your table - nothing pretentious, just good wholesome food that was very well priced. Would go back in a heartbeat and eat our meal all over again!
We shared a small antipasto platter (gorgeous olives, prosciutto, parmesan & goats chees), the most tender and tasty grilled calamari & a fresh caprese salad!
A Fremantle Favourite. Gino's is still one of my favourite places on the strip...service could be more attentive, but the pasta is good - never been disappointed there. There is a pretty large menu, which is good, and the decor is like a typical Italian trattoria.
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.
