About Ginos Trattoria

Runaway Bay locals treat this trattoria as their go-to for generous Italian comfort dishes, easygoing service, and bring-your-own wine. Thin, crisp garlic pizza bread and bruschetta kick off the table before bowls of gnocchi, vitello primavera, or king prawn linguine arrive dusted with cracked pepper and fresh Parmesan. Outdoors, overhead heaters keep covered patio tables warm through chilly evenings. For dessert, plates of warm strawberry crêpes share table space with bottles uncorked from home.

  • BYO Wine Friendly: Diners can bring their favorite wine bottles from home for a modest $4 corkage fee per person.
  • Heated Outdoor Patio: Covered outdoor patio seating features overhead heaters to keep group dinners comfortable in cooler weather.
