Gemma Simply Italian - Melbourne

The gnocchi was disappointing, said there was basil but had only one basil leaf. My friend's parpadelli pasta with eggplant looked better though. We waited a whole hour for our food! It came out cold.

The restaurant has a great ambience, great menu, service and amazing tasting food. The service from our water was good and he even let us know about the city of Melbourne promotion.

We love Gemma. The food is always great. And who can turn down a $15 pizza special on Wednesday?

The staff were great but as soon as it got busy we had to wait a long time. The meals did not come out together so we waited until all of our table was served before starting to eat -so some waited more than 5 mins and their food started to cool. The gnocchi was beautifully light but the sauces were ordinary. It was nice -but not fantastic. Good value for money -cheap and cheerful, but not exciting. We had a good time!

The food was great, the pizza was beautifully thin and crispy, just how we like them. We loved the olives and the Bruchetta was a great start to the meal. I always stay away from gnocchi as most places disappoint but not here, they were beautiful.
