The Year Is 1973:
Gala Supreme wins the Melbourne Cup, Alvin Purple is the number one movie in Australia, the Sydney Opera House is officially opened and Papa Gino’s opens its doors for business. Papa Gino’s has been part of the Carlton landscape for more than 40 years, still under the original ownership of the Brosca Family. Many things have changed in Lygon Street Carlton but not Papa Gino’s, still serving the generous portions of food that has made it a Carlton landmark. So come in and try our fabulous foods and find out for yourself why Papa Gino’s has remained one of the most popular restaurants in Carlton.
