Wow! Yum! It's been a few weeks but I'm definitely going back next time I'm in Melbourne I had linguine marinara and IT WAS HUGE! I couldn't finish it. It was full of prawns, mussels, vongole and fish with a good shaving of parmesan. Beautiful. We satr on the street and it was like being in the middle of one big family.

There's quite a few Italian restaurants in Lygon Street, but Papa Gino's still stands out. It's the most family oriented of all the venues in the area, what with the good service and cuisine for all tastes. It has a vibrant interior decor but it is probably nicer to sit outside to eat and watch the world go by you whilst you eat.

I had the canneloni, but my friends ordered several other dishes and all of them looked (and presumably tasted) great. The one that was probably a little less than average was the steak, but that can't be blamed, as it's not necessarily a steak house.

I visit this lively Carlton Italian restaurant every couple of months and find the staff attentative and friendly and a menu offering good quality food and drink options catering to a variety of needs at reasonable prices. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a meal in the Lygon Street area of Carlton.

Dine at Papa Gino's all the time, love it. Hands down mine and my partners favourite restaurant! Food is always 100%, never had a dud meal, and prices are so good!! It is always super busy which is a teeny tiny down side if you decide to go at peak dining time, but otherwise it kinda adds to the atmosphere. We always take our visiting friends to this place! LOVE love LOVE

Lygon street has an abundant amount of places to eat. Over the years we have dined at most of them and from time to time something new pops up. This place looks inviting so in we go and we get seated straight away. The place is quite full and when i open the menu a quick glance tells me I'm in La Porchetta territory. I go with the Lasagne, hard to fail on this dish in the area. It was your basic dish and not too shabby. The wife hits the waiter for what he suggested (this is always an epic fail from exp) and he reccomends the Veal in white wine sauce. FAIL FAIL FAIL. This is the worst dish I have seen and tasted in this area. Unfortunately this place has now been black listed by the wife! Sorry lads!! No more pappa ginos for us.Test your dishes before you serve them!!!

Great pizza, smells really good inside the store and you can watch them make it at the counter. I take away since I don't live too far away and they get pretty busy.

$20 for a large pizza is a bit expensive for pizza, but if you want decent pizza in the city you pay that bit extra I guess!

Service is always warm and friendly here. The food tastes similar to the other Italian restaurants along Lygon Street but I come here because the staff are not pretentious, annoying and arrogant.

If you are looking for Italian on Lygon Street, I recommend Papa Gino's - great value and ideal for families too!
