The best food in Melbourne every time!! , Pepper sauce to die for �� with amazing friendly staff.
Highly recommended. �
My fav restaurant ever!!! Best chicken snitznel ever!!! Fast service food always hot and perfect! Garlic focaccia is to die for!! No matter how busy I will always wait for a table and refuse to eat anywhere else along lygon street
I went their a couple of times and I enjoy their food so much! They have the best pasta and lasagne! My sister also loves to eat their pizza and loves to go there almost every holiday dinner!!
A great lygon st institution. Had a capricciosa and the Vongole. Very nice! If you are in Lygon St definitely try this place at least once.
It is quite noisy so a good place to have a quick eat.
I ordered their Ubereats and add extra shrimps & zucchini ... and they really gave me A LOT! Tasty & large portion! I’ll dine in there next time.
We have been goin here whenever we are in the neighborhood and feel like pizzas. Their pizzas are good , service is fast and staff are friendly . The best part is the pizza making kitchen is at the front for customer to see. Also they show us how they chef throwing the pizza dough to the air , it was like show , very cool and pretty entertaining to both for adult and the kids
They have been around for ages and they serve amazing pizza and pasta. It does get busy on the weekends, might want to get in early.
Love the authentic flavours of pizza and the salami pizza was really yums
Loved that the servings were generous. Had a meat lovers pizza and it was soo good!
My mates and I frequent this restaurant monthly. We’ve been doing so for years. The food here is always really good. Old school pizza. Not wood fire. The owners are fantastic. We normally order oysters, natural and kilpatrick, pizza and pasta. No pics cause the food didn’t last too long with the boys famished. Papa Gino’s you ripper.
Food here is amazing. I don't eat a lot of Italian outside but this took my breath away
If you’re looking for an authentic Italian pizza, couldn’t recommended Papa Gino’s highly enough! Lovely family run business located in the heart of Carlton. Ordered the Campania pizza - tomato, cheese, onion and PROSCIUTTO and I can happily say it was certainly a hit with the taste buds 😋 kinda like playing centre forward during Manchester United’s era of dominance.... Giggys on one wing, Becks on the other... you just know what you’re gonna get 😏 and the Campania pizza was certainly that, always delivering the goods in the right areas 😍 have been coming here for years and will certainly continue to do so!
Single best Italian restaurant I have EVER visited. At peak times, you might have to wait 20 mins to get seated. But I can assure you, it's worth the wait.
Their pizzas are absolute value-for-money. Large ones are enough to take down two hungry folks. 11/10 would recommend.
They are famous for their pizzas! Good service scope, many customers, traditional taste of Italy. Although my Al Funghi fettuccine looked and taste like a pizza, I still liked it very much. Pleasurable place for lunches and dinners. The bread are awesome as well.

Papa Gino’s serves up an affordable and hearty traditional Italian/Australia pizza. This is definitely one of the more low key eateries on Lygon, but from an unassuming store front, you’ll find friendly service and a lovely meal.
If you prefer your dining experience to be just that, away from the social media hype, Papa Gino’s is definitely a good choice for a Italian lunch or dinner.
Food was so good!!
We ordered Gnocchi al funghi and Fettuccini carbonara as main. Garlic focaccia as entree.
Only feedback I would give is that focaccia was served only when we were halfway through pasta. Still, highly recommended. Will be back
Huge portions of great food for the most decent prices in all of Lygon - all complimented by super friendly staff and a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. 100% recommending it to all of my friends!
Great restaurant delicious food and friendly staff the food is delicious and reasonably priced will bring more friends next time
YUMMY AS F*CK !!! very good pizza and very friendly staff - ordered a mexican pizza at an italian restaurant and the only people to make fun of me were my fellow dinner guests
The restaurant has nice decor and friendly staff!! Cosy. Portion sizes were decent. Enough to have some leftover to take away. The prices aren't too bad. Good food! Spaghetti bolognese was great. Riso e fagioli was pretty delicious. Especially the bread that came with it.
The staff member that waited on us was already aware of dietary requirements and reassured that it would be taken care of. That really added to the good experience :)
