Papa Gino's Pizza Restaurant - Carlton

It was a good meal but not a very good meal. We had hoped to start with a garlic bread entree and were disappointed it wasn't bread it was pizza but thought why not try it. First disappointment is when the young guy brought the pizza GB out he handed it to another table who passed it around amongst themselves [as i watched] and the waiter thought it was perfectly ok for us to accept it after doing the rounds on someone's else's table and a mistake HE made we did not accept it. In the end we wished we had cancelled it because it wasn't nice and we left most of it. Disappointment number 2, my wife ordered veal schnitzel and it came with a cereal bowl of gravy. Not only was it presented in an ugly cereal bowl did not look the slightest bit appetitising with NO spoon to serve it, it was also watery and tasteless. Would have been much better efficient to serve in a small jug! We refused to pay for it the guy serving at the till was good about it. I ordered a small spaghetti bolognaise and it was nice but still a very big serve and i couldn't finish it. My wife enjoyed her schnitzel and chips. While still eating the staff are clearing plates we'd finished with, obviously hoping to flip the table not a nice feeling while still eating. We wouldn't go back.

This is a fabulous Italian eatery, just loved it! Great food, friendly and efficient staff, lots of seating to choose from and wonderful food..

Ok folks, you can ignore the negative reviews. Let's face it, everyone has a bad day and Stuff Happens(! . I am leaving a review for the BEST SEAFOOD MARINARA PIZZA IN LYGON STREET and even in wider Melbourne. Their crust is just right, there is an excellent variety and quality of seafood and, there is lashings of garlic. IT IS THE BEST PIZZA. the food is 1st class the hospitality is 1st class lots of seats both inside out it's licensed or BYO AND WE JUST KEEP COMING BACK

Absolutely fkin awful ordered regular Donna fine but small and lamb and Donna kebab £14 90 no Donna meat it was embarrassing tiny

Payed way too much for very low quality meals, e.g. undressed salad, soggy pasta, and **** meat on pizza, and the whole place had a sickening aroma.
