After more than 40 years of family-owned service on State Street, Gino's has become a favorite Italian night out for many in Madison. The traditionally Italian, quiet, dimly lit atmosphere draws UW students and Madison residents alike to enjoy classic Sicilian style pizza, flavorful pasta and so much more.
Its perfect location at 540 State St. includes a quaint outside eating area reminiscent of a quiet European café, where Madisonians can enjoy thin or stuffed-crust pizza, fettuccini alfredo or a sauerkraut and Swiss burger on a warm evening outdoors.

Every dish at Gino's seems to be incredibly packed with Italian spices and seasonings, lending an unmistakable flavor that is the trademark of head chef and owner, Virginio "Gino" Gargan. Running the restaurant for the entirety of its existence, Gargan has undoubtedly found his niche within the immense variety of restaurants and bars on State Street, catering to true Italian lovers and novices alike within the variety of his dishes.

Gino's boasts a diverse menu, making it so much more than the typical pizza restaurant. The menu consists of twelve new pasta specialties, pizzas with every topping imaginable (short of Ian's, of course), in addition to a gourmet menu that includes low-carb options for those who want Italian cuisine taste without the guilt.

Added bonuses include a party room fully equipped for a night of drinks and Italian-style partying — perfect for big groups — and a delivery service that brings home-style Italian cooking right to your door. Special party and delivery menus make it easy to get just what you want.

With countless pizza places and other Italian restaurants dotting the State Street area, Gino's truly stands up to the competition. Comfort, variety, authenticity and a fun atmosphere — Gino's has it all.

Buon appetito!
