The food was fantastic! Had a vegetarian pasta and it was honestly delicious and full flavors, also a really good portion size! The cocktails were amazing as well and to top it off the service from our waiter was incredible. So friendly, helpful and on the ball the whole night! By far the best service I’ve had in a while 👌🏼
Thanks Gemellis :)
I consider myself a foodie and decided to check out this place. I feel I know Italian food reasonably well, but this didn't feel like your run of the mill, garden variety Italian joint. It's a high quality, well run establishment, with courteous and attentive staff, lovely atmosphere and great food. I took a chance with my meal and while I wouldn't normally choose it, I was pleasantly surprised.
Just know, this is not a cheap place, but if you have a treat every now and then, consider Gemelli.
Gemelli is one of my favorite restaurants in JHB. I can safely say their pasta is the best I’ve had so far. They have a nice food and drinks menu. I thoroughly enjoyed their cocktails also. It gets really full though so definitely do make a reservation before making your way there.
This review is about alternate Gemelli venue called Pantry. It was a really awesome experience and I loved absolutely everything about it. The price point is also not that bad, I found the food to be great and good value for money. Will definitely be hitting another brunch there soon.
Always love the food here! Had a starter, main and dessert.
Caprese salad was one of the best I’ve had, lamb ragu pasta is still my favorite pasta dish in jhb. The dessert though was a bit of a let down, looked great but it was dry! Overall though great experience
We enjoyed our overall experience here, especially the service and the fantastic starters (oxtail spring rolls and salmon arancini). They didn't have the wine or main course we wanted in stock anymore which was a little frustrating. The seafood linguini I ended up having was a little "meh" - lacking in seasoning.
A wonderful evening. THE BEST SEAFOOD PASTA I have ever eaten in my life. Other highlights were the Cheesecake and the cappuccino. The starters were all good.
Yes it is a lively restaurant, but I enjoyed the ambience.
Lovely decor and great service.
First time coming to Gemelli I ordered this awesome meal, chef recommended “medium rare” so I went with it. I enjoyed every mouthful, tender and juicy fillet, fresh rocket, creamy mushrooms and cheese. Beautiful combination
I can’t fault this restaurant. Excellent service, excellent food and pricing. Restaurant is beautiful. Food was made to perfection and that extra added care worked for an amazing day out
This is one of my favorite go to spots in JHB. First of all the service is amazing - friendly and attentive staff. i have been to Gemelli several times but had taken my mother there for the 1st time who remarked on how perfect the pork belly was. Penne Alessandro is top 5 best pastas i’ve ever had. Great spot for anytime of the day. the cocktails are great too! too recommendation: Lesotho Lady
As always we had a lovely experience at Gemelli.. good service, great ambience and delicious food! From starter right through to dessert they never disappoint.
Had the best Sunday evening here a few weeks ago! I love the new renovations, the place looks amazing. The decor is so sexy & understated. Gives a perfect ambience & makes you feel like you’re in a Hollywood film 😅. The staff were super friendly & helpful. A far cry from my very first time here when the waiters were rude & seemed overwhelmed. The food was PERFECT! I had the mussel starter, which was such a big portion that I didn’t finish my mains. For mains I had the pork belly which was even more wonderful a day later after I’d warmed it up for lunch. My only criticism is that the food is super rich & the portions are big, so leave your diet at the door please! I’m super glad that they separated the people who want a loud vibe from people who want a nice relaxed meal. You can still hear the music from outside but it’s not too bad. I want to go back & try the rest of the menu, this will be my go-to place moving forward!
I went there and it was my birthday, I had a cake. Immediately the waitress took it and put it in the fridge for me. We ordered our food and drinks and it all came out fresh and delicious.
Our waitress went the extra mile and took pictures of me with my cake when we were done dinning. The food alone deserves praise but the extra mile service needs a mention too :)
If you're looking for the best pasta, this is where it's at. I tried the burger this time, which was decent. If you're coming here for dinner, expect the place to be really noisy.
I had a lovely experience here! The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is lively. The food is amazing and I'm not even kidding when I say that ALL the dishes we ordered were delicious. I would 100% come here again and highly recommend eating here.
Elegant, fancy, good food, lovely vibe a bit noisey though at times it feels like your in a pub.
Great dinner had here, with great service in a really busy restaurant. The atmosphere is amazing too. The food though was really good, really vibrant flavours in each dish. Enjoyable experience.
We were going to try out Pantry, only to be told “it now operates upstairs” with a totally different name. However, the guys upstairs didn’t disappoint. Good food & good service. Will definitely go back👍🏾
This is one different unique restaurant with a combination of Italian and African cuisine,the new revamp offers a fine dining experience that's worth it. May I suggest the new dish Lamb Knuckles served with mash and creamed spinach
This place is divided into 2 sperate spaces, the one space is calm and relaxed, the other space is vibey, crowded and groovy. I would give them 5 star, their food is devine. But you can literally taste the gas they use on the steak and springbock. They are a bit pricy as well. But if you have a deep pocket, I'd definitely recommend this place. Love it.
10/10. I absolutely enjoyed everything about that place. The food was awesome, the service was great and the cake, oh the cake topped everything off. I will definitely be coming back
