Join us at Il Gambero

Step into a slice of Italy at Il Gambero, a beloved family-run restaurant serving classic Italian fare in the heart of Carlton for nearly 50 years. Nestled on the iconic Lygon Street, Il Gambero is known for its warm atmosphere, rich tradition and authentic flavours.

The thin crust pizzas are cooked to perfection in a traditional Italian stone conveyor oven, while mains like the signature Il Gambero — with tiger prawns, garlic, chilli, parsley, olive oil and Napoli sauce — or the hearty spaghetti Bolognese, are crowd favourites.

Looking to celebrate? Il Gambero also hosts private functions, offering tailored menus and a welcoming space perfect for birthdays, corporate events and family gatherings.

Whether it’s a romantic dinner, a group catch-up or a special celebration, Il Gambero delivers timeless Italian hospitality with every dish.

About Us

Gambero pizza family restaurant

For nearly 50 years Il Gambero has been providing diners with some of the most delicious Italian cuisine Lygon Street has to offer. We’ve gained this reputation through the belief that you, your family and friends should never have to overpay for top quality food and service.

Situated opposite Argyle Square, right in the heart of Lygon Street, our family restaurant has become a much loved staple of the strip.

Il Gambero sources the best Italian and local produce to create our signature dishes. Our Head Pizza Chef, Frankie DiMattina is so serious about his craft he had Australia’s first stone conveyer oven shipped over from Italy to ensure our delicious thin crust pizzas are cooked to perfection every time.

We look forward to welcoming you next time you’re in the neighbourhood
