Barangaroo welcomes Gina, a laid-back waterfront trattoria channeling the warmth of coastal Italy.

Backed by Wondrous Entertainment (Izgara, Malika Bakehouse), this new venue brings everything we love about a long Italian lunch,  fresh pasta, cold drinks, and slow afternoons.

Gina is all about everyday indulgence. The 170-seat space features a sweeping heated terrace (one of Barangaroo’s biggest), indoor dining, and a killer bar setup.  With a menu crafted by chefs Michael Chang and Sicilian native Giuseppe Pappalardo, diners can expect seasonal antipasti, premium cuts, and a rotating lineup of hand-rolled pastas.
