About this restaurant

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 flavors.

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, chili, parsley, olive oil and Napoli sauce — or the hearty spaghetti Bolognese, are crowd favorites.

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.
