Used to come here annually but was just turned away in the parking lot for the second year in a row - before 5PM, as I went to put our names in and wait. Was planning to wait a couple hours, but wasn't even allowed to talk to the host. The food here has always been traditionally decent, and I particularly like the homey / sea shanty vibe of the place, but that was our last attempt - just not worth the hassle and logistics, tbh.

I am absolutely appalled at the way the owner treated my parents. They have been coming here for over 30 years. They came out for dinner to celebrate there wedding Anniversary. My father has Parkinson’s and is using a walker and has a very hard time walking. It was easier for my father to sit outside, and not have to walk as far. They sat at an outside table and the waitress said she would bring them table settings. The owner then came over and yelled at them stating “I told you, We are not doing outside dining”. My mom responded by saying my husband has the walker and we didn’t want to be in the way and you didn’t tell us that. He proceeded to say “You know how many people have walkers”!! How dare you speak to paying customers that way that have supported you through the pandemic and for 30 plus years!!! It is inconsiderate and unmannerly.They will NEVER come back to your restaurant again!!! Either will our family members and friends and I Will make sure of that.You should be ashamed of yourself and how you treated them!

Haven't been to Gina's by the sea in such a long time. Was up visiting family and five of us went to dinner. Place was packed but they found a beautiful table for us in the corner. Had the shrimp scampi which was the best I've ever had. I have had it before back in the day and it was as good if not better. The spaghetti was covered in shrimp so all you saw was shrimp! Seven large, perfectly cooked flavorful shrimp. Absolutely delicious. A fun place right on the water with gorgeous views. You can't beat it. Looking forward to my next visit.

Absolutely fantastic experience all the way around. Super friendly place. with great service and tasteful food. We pulled into a packed parking lot and had no idea what to do. We were greeted by a gentleman, that let us know he would park our car... no ticket, no list... just handed my car over and hoped I would get it back. He sensed I was a bit nervous and reassured me he had never lost a car in 30 years... We proceeded inside to the again packed bar and again had no idea what to do, stood there for a moment and then we were greeted by non other than the owner asking what he could do for us... I said 2 for dinner with whatever he had. Very good then, he said, asked me for my name and said it would most likely be about an hour. Again, no lists... I thought this should be interesting. We proceeded to find a seat in the bar, and get a couple of drinks thinking we would be there for a while. The pours for both the red wine and the bourbon were to the rim! Very generous from the friendly lady behind the bar. No more than we had just struck up an enjoyable conversation with total strangers did the owner return and address me by name to say he had a table for us. Wow, that was not an hour, and was taking us to a fantastic table outside! Alice was our delightful server answered all our questions and took great care of us through the entirety of our meal. Even took the time to answer who Gina was! The food was delicious, enjoyable and authentic, well prepared and paced to fit our time! The owner swung back by our table and addressed me again by my name... never have I felt so at home at a restaurant! Then get this... We walked out to hopefully pick up our car, only to find it had already been pulled up to the most convenient parking spot for us to get in and head on our way. The gentleman knew who I was. He knew what car was mine, and had the door open. Incredible. He had to be shuffling cars all night. What a memory! What a service! Top 5 all round dining experiences in all my years!

My favorite restaurant on the Cape! The linguine with white clams is to die for. And their salad dressing is so amazing, I could drink it! The stuffed shells, eggplant Parmesan and lobster or shrimp scampi are also incredible! Everything I’ve ever tried here has been amazing! Must go!!

One of our all time favorites for many years. World class homemade fresh Italian food and amazing friendly, knowledgable service that is at once welcoming and non intrusive. The happy atmosphere is achieved by a highly competent staff and kitchen. We can’t wait for them to reopen each season.

My wife and I have frequented Gina's every year for the past 10+ years. Unfortunately, something changed. The staff didn't seem as welcoming in July of '21; we barely saw a smile on their faces. Yes, still in a pandemic - and perhaps a major contributor, but I can not make excuses for anyone. If keeping a restaurant open is too challenging, perhaps it's time to move on. Most likely will not return.

This is literally my all time favorite restaurant. I've been coming here with my family for over 30 years. It's a staple in our Cape Cod vacation. The staff is amazing and super friendly. Although we only come once a year, they remember our faces and our names. The food never disappoints. It truly doesn't matter what you get, it's going to be amazing. We always start with an order of shrimp cocktail, mussels, and garlic bread to dip in the sauce from the mussels. My favorite main dishes are the chicken gismundo, veal savoyard, the filet, the clam sauce, white or red, and the scampi ala Gina. They come with a small salad and their homemade dressing is addicting. This past time around, they had a lobster scampi special as well as a cold calamari salad that we just had to try. Phenomenal! And let's not forget, their famous chocolate cake. Stroll down to Mayflower Beach for sunset after dinner also, it's worth it. I love Gina's! I will forever come here once a year no matter where I'm living. ❤️

Quaint seaside restaurant in a small antique cape serves gourmet Italian food. Have been there many times. Love the chicken and veal parm. Steaks are great too. Service always pleasant and attentive. Only negative is that it is quite noisy when full of people on the weekends. Makes it hard to talk to the people next to you.

My wife and I just had a d delightful early dinner at Gina;s. Shrimp scampi was perfect with a very generous portion of excellent shrimp in a simple buttery sauce. Haricot vere crunchy with slivered almonds. Eggplant parmigiana was layered and elegantly plated A fine young Gavin at a very good price. Really good service from Jackie who was warm funny and intelligent. Highly recommended
