Old-school Gino's is Freo's most famous cafe, and while it's become a tourist attraction in its own right, the locals still treat it as their second living room, only with better coffee. You'll need to queue, order and pay, then collect your own coffee. It does a good breakfast and a decent, typical Italian lunch and dinner dishes.
