Last ate at Gemelli's in January and gave it four out of five. Returned for a post-cinema meal with an old school friend last night and have to say the food was even better. We were half an hour late due to the film starting later than expected, but the waitress was very accommodating and this wasn't a problem. We... More

After some of the reviews here we were expecting something special, sadly we were disappointed! The food was good but not spectacular and the service and setting were nothing better than average, all a bit of an anticlimax really.

This is a small restaurant where the food is excellent. I can't believe that someone gave this a poor review! We had risotto and pizza. both excellent. It wasn't busy so there wasn't much atmosphere, and to be honest it's not trendy or luxurious but the food is so good and the portion sizes are generous. Very impressed!

It just delivers big time on Food. Booking at weekends I would suspect is a must as the restaurant does not operate on a get them in get... More

My wife and I have frequently been going to Gemelli's Restaurant for quit some time now and have never been disappointed with their great food. Lorenzo (the Chef ) and Ewa (his partner) have done a wonderful job in giving one the sense of a european dining experience. If you want authentic Italian food prepared by an Italian chef then...
