About Us

For over 40 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

TAKEAWAY MENU

We held our engagement at Il Gambero last night and couldn't have chosen a better spot. The staff including Anthony, Lance and particularly AJ were helpful from the word 'go' and super nice and helpful throughout all our planning -- even despite our many questions! -- and catered to all our requests. Great food and great atmosphere - we wouldn't hesitate to hold another function here 🙂 Thanks so much again Natalie and James
