"It's easy to be charmed by Chef Jackson Kalb’s Hollywood Italian American spot Jemma. The menu features approachable Italian dishes like meatballs, pepperoni pizza, cacio e pepe spaghetti, pork osso bucco, and spicy rigatoni alla vodka. Where Jemma shines is its execution — even in the simple dishes, the use of well-sourced ingredients like fresh pasta and high-quality produce shines through. Jemma is an easy not-too-fancy restaurant, whether looking for an after-work bite, a special night out, or a family-friendly restaurant that’ll please even the pickiest of eaters." - Rebecca Roland, Matthew Kang
