For over 40 years Il Gambero has been providing diners with some of the best pizza and Italian cuisine Lygon Street has to offer. They have 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.
Our Head Chef, Mark Bettiol sources the best Italian and local produce to create our signature dishes. While Head Pizza Chef, Franki DiMattina is so serious about his craft he had Australia’s first stone conveyor oven shipped over from Italy to ensure our delicious thin crust pizzas are cooked to perfection every time.

Trotters Bistro
Open every day till late, Trotters Bistro offers the perfect blend of Modern Australian and rustic Italian cuisine...











A wonderful Italian restaurant with generous portions and excellent flavours. The pizzas coming from the kitchen looked fantastic and our pasta dishes were equally impressive. Great service and a relaxed setting made for an enjoyable evening.
The pasta was cooked perfectly and tasted beautifully fresh. Service was quick even during the dinner rush, and the staff were friendly throughout our visit. It’s easy to see why this restaurant has such a loyal following.
Visited with family after spending the afternoon in Carlton. Everyone enjoyed their meals and there was plenty to choose from on the menu. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer.
