For over 40 years, Il Gambero has been an icon of Lygon Street, an Italian restaurant that remains a favourite in Melbourne’s famous dining precinct. Revamped yet maintaining the rusticity of a traditional Italian eatery, Il Gambero’s large outdoor tables, set against the vibrant green tiling are instantly inviting, while the interior boasts a compilation of exposed brick, round textured glass lampshades and dark furnishings, paired with the modern touch of large glass windows. Authentic pizza, pasta, old classics and new flavour combinations grace Il Gambero’s impressive dining menu, featuring dishes like spicy tiger prawn and scallop risotto, as well as bistecca alla gambero - eye fillet steak topped with a seafood, garlic, white wine and napoli sauce.
