The Il Gambero function room is one of Lygon Street’s most desirable entertainment spaces
For nearly 50 years, Il Gambero has been a proud part of Lygon Street, serving delicious Italian cuisine in the heart of Carlton.
Located opposite Argyle Square, our family-run restaurant has become a local favourite—known for generous portions, warm hospitality, and great value. We believe that top-quality food and service should always be accessible, whether you’re dining with family, catching up with friends, or just craving a great bowl of pasta.
Our menu is crafted using the finest local and imported Italian ingredients. And when it comes to pizza, we’re serious—so serious that we brought in Australia’s first stone conveyor oven from Italy, just to make sure every thin-crust pizza comes out perfectly.
We look forward to welcoming you soon at Il Gambero—where tradition meets taste on Lygon Street.
