Our Story
THE PASSION FOR PIZZA

Gino Francese opened his first restaurant in 1971 in Melbourne, Australia. The restaurant was an instant success because of its authentic Italian Pizza, Pasta, Seafood, Steak and friendly service.
Cafe Cavallino is owned by Gino Francese. Cafe Cavallino will continue serving the same traditional Italian style cuisine that has been done so by the Francese family for the past 43 years.
Cafe Cavallino provides one of the largest alfresco seating areas in Melbourne, to give you the true dining experience and atmosphere of Lygon Street.
The Cafe Cavallino mission is to continue serving you with the freshest food within the cleanest environment. Gino Francese has built an excellent reputation for his traditional Italian homestyle cuisine and friendly atmosphere that stands strong today.
Amid concerns about COVID-19, we wanted to assure you that everyone’s health and safety is our top priority.
The team at Cafe Cavallinos' have implemented all COVIDSafe measures in accordance with the advice from the State Government.
Together we can maintain a safe and friendly environment for all our staff and customers.
