FAQs
Are reservations necessary?
We will always welcome you and your group to join us at Gino’s. However, if you have a group of eight (8) or more we can better plan to serve you (and other guests) if you give us a call and make a reservation ahead of time!
Do you deliver?
Unfortunately at this time we do not deliver. Feel free to give us a call and place a take-out order though!
Do you have outdoor seating?
Depends when you’re asking! If it’s not snowing, hailing, raining or any other form of inclement weather, THE ANSWER IS YES! We feature heat lamps for those chilly days/nights and even have string lights for better menu visibility at night.
Is Gino’s hiring and how do I apply?
We're always accepting applications for help in the kitchen, bar and dining room. Your first step is to complete an application and get it to us. You can email it to ginosofhancock@gmail.com or stop by and drop it off anytime we're open.
What is Gino’s famous meat sauce recipe?
Nice try! If you know, you know.
Can I access Gino’s from the trails?
Stop on by! Whether you’re riding on your ATV or snowmobile, you have easy access to reach us because we are right off the Hancock/Calumet Trail!
Can I order your famous meat sauce to-go?
Of course! If you’re a local, you or someone you know probably has Gino’s secret sauce recipe. If this is true you also know there isn’t always time to make this delicious liquid gold. That’s why we sell our famous meat sauce in quart sized containers, making it easy to pick-up and make a delicious pasta dinner from your own kitchen or freeze it for a meal down the road.
Do you have gathering space for a large group?
Yes! Our backroom is the perfect place for your next event. From baby showers to Christmas parties, from family gatherings to business meetings, we have the space to meet all your needs. The Backroom at Gino’s features the following amenities: free high-speed WiFi, large HD television, speakers, access to waitstaff/food/drinks (if needed), privacy available (room can be closed off) and affordable.
Do you offer catering?
Yes, we do! Have an event somewhere in the Copper County and want the same great taste of Gino’s Restaurant at your event? We cater with the same attention to detail, affordability, and classic tastes that families have known and loved for generations. Contact us via email at ginosofhancock@gmail.com for catering and/or banquet pricing. Please consider that additional costs, such as menu item selection and event facility equipment, may affect the overall pricing of your event.
What is a Patio Pail?
Patio Pails pack thirty-two (32) ounces of tropical juices and other wash with a variety of liqueurs inside a plastic pail! We now sell our famous Patio Pails to-go for you to enjoy wherever you want in the Keweenaw!
Do you offer weekly specials?
Every day is special at Gino’s!

Happy Hour is Tuesday-Friday from 4:00pm-7:00pm featuring ice cold $1.00 OFF tap beer and .50 cents OFF rail drinks, wine, and bottled beer!
Do you have gluten-free options available?
Yes we do! We feature a small gluten-free pizza crust, pasta and also offer a gluten-free bread bun for sandwiches and burgers. Our gluten-free items are prepared in a common kitchen. While we take steps to minimize the likelihood of exposure to flour, our gluten-free items are not recommended for guests with Celiac or any other gluten sensitive disorder.
Are the recipes the same as Shakey?
Happy you asked! Our goal of re-opening Gino’s was not to re-invent the wheel, but instead, keep it rolling. Gino’s has been a staple for decades, so before re-opening we made sure to ask Shakey how to continue his tasty local favorites. He happily took a select few into the kitchen to walk-through the Gino’s secrets – of course under one condition, he wasn’t going to write anything down.
Do you still do holiday ravioli orders?
Yes! We would never let this tradition die because ravioli is the gift everyone has on their list this year! The holidays can be stressful. So let us help. Call in a ravioli order and be the hit of any holiday get-together. Just think, you could be the relative or friend that everyone at the party can’t wait to walk through the door!
Why are you closed on Mondays?
Mondays are for the sauce! And since this is a family owned and operated business we like to have a day dedicated to spending time with one another. Thanks for understanding and we will see you Tuesday!
Do you use local products?
We understand that in order for our community to be successful we must support local vendors. We make a conscious effort to use local companies for a variety of our needs and products we serve.
