    Everything was great. Only thing I could say is that I wish they had a better beer menu. Some good Italian beers would be a nice touch

    We’ve been to Gemma a few times. Always seem to have the same thing because it’s so delicious. This time we went out of norm to try a few different items and we were so happy that we did! Our amazing waiter was Shawn!! He gets A+ for exceptional service with a smile. Shawn is very knowledgeable and so nice. We had the Scarpariell pizza which was so awesome!!! I’ve never had this one and it was fantastic!! So flavorful & delicious. Next we had 1 Chopped Kale salad & 1 Caesars salad, both delicious but my fav is the kale. There’s avocado in it and that lil avocado adds such a creamy ness to the crunch. Pasta dishes rates #1 Pappardelle Gigante, # Agnolotti , # 3 Spicy Rigatoni #4 Tagliatelle. There’s avocado Tagliatelle was the least favorite from our table. It just seemed to be lacking in flavor tonight. Drinks we had a coupe of Niki which was so refreshing with a cucumber garnish. Perfect blend of alcohol which went down too easy. Also had the basil margarita with salt foam. Again tasty & delicious. Wonderful dining experience and can’t wait to come back again 🥰🥳🍷

    Denise!! What a delightful review, thank you so much! We're beyond happy to hear you had such a great time with us and that you ventured out of your usual favorites. The Scarpariell pizza definitely deserves a special mention! It’s become a fan favorite ever since we introduced it to the menu! It was such a pleasure serving you, and Sean will be thrilled to hear about your kind words! We can't wait to have you back for more delicious food, drinks, and good times. And hey, maybe you'll discover a new favorite next time! See you soon! 🥳🍝🍸

    Had a great dinner with friends. Our server Robert was outstanding. He attentive and well informed. He recommended great dishes we all enjoyed. Some of the highlights were the cauliflower, cheese toast, Caesar salad, the Frankie pizza and chicken parm. So good! If you like spicy cocktails, the Ananas is on point.

    Friendly and informative wait staff. Was seated and served pretty quickly. The mark down is because of added 4% employee benefit fee…this is the responsibility of the restaurant not the customer!! Unfortunately I had to deduct the amount from the tip which isn’t fair as it but I’m tired of getting ripped off.
    Jemma HollywoodResponded on March 29, 2025
    Hi Jeremy! Thank you so much for your kind words about our service! We truly appreciate it. The 4% employee benefit fee is included on the check prior to payment, as well as listed at the bottom of each menu for transparency. If you ever feel uncomfortable with the charge, please don’t hesitate to kindly ask your server to have it removed. I’ve gone ahead and refunded the 4% fee from your check. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back again soon!

    Will was a knowledgeable and attentive service. The service is amazing, the food is amazing. We were thrilled with everything. We got the cheesy toast, a kale salad (table favorite), the orrechiette and tagliatelle pastas, a Hapa pizza, and a chicken parm. Everything was 10/10!!
    Jemma HollywoodResponded on March 27, 2025
    Wow Sofia!! Thank you for the awesome review! We're so happy to hear that Will took such great care of you, and it sounds like you had a feast! Cheesy toast, kale salad, pastas, pizza, chicken parm—everything 10/10? You’ve made our day! We can’t wait to have you back for another amazing meal. See you soon!

    Our children's meal came, they ate them, and our meals never did. We were the third table sat when they opened, and after an hour, we still didn't have our sandwich and pizza. Finally, we asked for the check, as our child with special needs would not be able to sit for another thirty minutes for us to eat. Ten minutes later, our food was ready and boxed to go. During our wait, our table was not cleared of empty beverage bottles, glasses, and dirty plates. They were kind enough to hold our food while we attended the theatre. We did appreciate the special Harry Potter menu, even if it was only two items (although my son was sad that there wasn't anything on the menu for kids).
