Great Italian menu. Decor is a step back in time to the 50s or '60s. Epitome of

I have been going to Gina’s for decades. If fact my kids now take their kids to Gina’s. Food is always great!However I gotta say the prices have gotten out of hand!Used to be a little pricey but what the hell it’s summer! But now the average entree is $36.95!! Come on man!It’s good but it ain’t that good!I know on the Cape you gotta make hay in the summer. But come on man!
Parking: Parking is always tight but Edwin does a super job!

It has been 10 years since we visited Gina’s. We vacationed on Dr Bottero for 20 years. The experience then was abysmal. We were hoping things had changed in all this time. Nothing has. Probably hasn’t had a deep clean in all those years. Pubic hair on toilet and sink in ladies room. Scum on the bathroom floor and sink. Disgusting!!! If this is how the public areas appear…what the heck is going on in the kitchen?
First time here with family and kids so HAVE to go early. Karen our waitress was outstanding. Food especially the filet and salmon were outstanding. Not cheap eats but place gets packed as has a good reputation. Cars lined up. If not here by 5pm you will be waiting awhile. Highly recommend trying, think you will feel the same as us.
Parking: Have to wait in line until people leave to get a spot which can be awhile if you don't come early.

Unfortunately we drove all the way to the facility as we’ve heard nice reviews, however we didn’t have the opportunity to experience anything other than their inappropriate staff. As we drove into the parking lot, the parking attendant rudely said there was a dress code, which the website doesn’t state there is a dress code. The restaurant is located close to the beach and we were coming from the beach, we all had clothes but apparently they don’t allow sleeveless attire.our family recommended them and they always visit from the beach. The owner was extremely rude and unprofessional and dismissed our family from the restaurant for having a tank top. Kicked us off the propertyI was taken back by the behavior and in response relieved to not spend my money at a place that would treat their guests in such way. We will definitely take our business elsewhere, happilyWe not recommend due to poor customer service

RUDE!!! RUDE!!! RUDE!!! I would give 0 stars if I could. My family and I drove 45 minutes to eat at this restaurant and as soon as we drove into the parking lot the employee said we couldn’t come in with out tank tops in a very rude way. Website doesn’t state that there is a dress code!! The employee ran to the owner who then came out and very rudely told us to get off his property!!! Their loss!!!
Here is the whole story! Drove like 3 hours to hang at the beach all day and had a family member tell us that this Italian restaurant was pretty good. We all made plans to eat there as soon as they open and drive back. 4pm they open and we drove over from the beach. 10 people and we like to spend money (filets and wine you. You name it!)! Anyways, I pull in and the parking lot tenant sarcastically tells me you can’t wear a tank top at the restaurant. Matching his sarcasm I laughed and said “are you F-ING serious? What is this a golf course?”. The parking lot tenant stated to me not to use curse words at them. I apologized and told them I was not upset. Literally thought I was joking. I was definitely disappointed though hearing that. I told the parking lot tenant to let me and my family park and that I would try to talk with management to see if they would let one person in with a tank top. I legit thought there would be an exception. Wasn’t being an A-HoLE! He said ok. I parked and told my family that I’m going to run in and explain our situation and see if they would make an exception. I got about half way to the restaurant before I was stopped by two gentlemen who got in my face to tell me I will not curse at their employees and to leave their property. My family and I did so immediately without and objections. As a business man you don’t turn away business without having an actual conversation. 10 people at this kind of establishment is equivalent to at least $1000. It’s really their loss. Secondly as we were parking I noticed 3 girls with tube tops/beach attire enter the business. Didn’t notice them leave for being barely dressed. Lastly, we looked at the website several times and did not see a dress code! After this situation took place we researched a second time for a dress code. Nothing found! Might be good for the establishment to show a dress code online and also not try to have the wanna be mafia mentality at the door with people who are on vacation willing to spend a stupid amount of money there! I truly hope everyone’s experience is better then ours. I decided to buy some filets instead. Home made asparagus, mash potatoes, and filet are hard to beat!!!!

This tiny little place will surprise you! Gourmet Italian menu with daily specials. Smaller portions. Indoor or outdoor seating. Get there early (15 minutes before opening) or be prepared to wait. Parking on site but might have to wait. $$$$$

These guys managed to kill a 15 year tradition for me and my family. The worst part? They don't care. I understand as they are only open Thursday-Sunday but Sam who over the last 15 years has generally taken care of us turned his back on us tonight. We got there tonight as soon as they opened and showed Up to put our name on the list. After a busy start for their night, they told us they couldn't sit large parties- 10 people.We told the other owner from the start of our wait that we were a party of 10 and he said we were second in line - after a 45 minute wait they changed their mind and wouldn't seat us. If you're not seating large parties then you should make that clear and your staff should know as well. You Could have saved us a 45 minute wait. Too bad traditions have to be ruined because you 'change your policy' - we didnt need to change our traditions but you made us because of your knee j*** reaction to crowds. Too Bad

Gina's by the sea is a no frills Italian restaurant . The dacor is traditional Cape Cod knotty pine. Good food at a reasonable price. The restaurant is located in a residential neighborhood close to the beach and most of the patrons walk there. It is crazy busy & loud during the season and the parking lot is normally full. If you are looking for ambience & upscale dacor, this is not the place for you.

Location, location,location! Finding a restaurant on or next to a beach, here's a rarity, look no more. A place locals go for Italian food, fresh seafood and music entertainment. Go early, watch the sunset at Chapin Memorial Beach.

The food is a bit overpriced, but good. However, the host was horrible. We are from out of the area and we’re treated like it. I grew up In New York City, lived in Boston, now in Arizona and dined in a wide variety of restaurants. We have been treated differently and understand how things vary, but this host was ridiculous explaining how things work here in small town Dennis. We visit the Cape multiple times a year and will not go back.
