Gemelle

This is top notched service. My wife and I (Dede In the Morning) stayed at their accommodations - Hotel Otto. When you walk in as a hotel guest, they greet you with excitement and provide you with a free cocktail of your choice. The decor is retro but modern. The wait staff is friendly. The food is made to order. That includes the biscuits if you are getting some for brunch. The gravy they had on their Salisbury Steak was fantastic. It came it fries that my wife and I kept dipping in the sauce. This is a hidden gem for date night. If you are looking for day party for a small group, I highly recommend this place. If you get a chance to stay at their hotel, do that as well. It's another cool experience.

Sadly did not get some grub but stopped by because we were stunned by the beautiful pink sign off the side of the road! We had the pleasure of sitting with Donnavyn at the bar tonight and he was so professional. Greeted us immediately and was so welcoming. We got THE BEST ESPRESSO MARTINI WE HAVE EVER HAD!!! My friend was torn because it was not on their menu but he was like of course we can make one!! And did not disappoint. The presentation and everything!! I got the lovely cocktail, Season of the Witch and it was exactly as it sounds. Botanical tones with a nice spring/summer spritz to it.

Well stumbling across this place during my long bike ride we felt like we did not belong and were very underdressed and stared at as we can in shorts and tank tops. The appetizer of bread was great, little spendy but great. Drinks were also just meh. Good for the heat but not 11 and 12 dollars worth. Food looked like it could be good but when you have a menu you can't read it's hard to decide. Overall I would say average. Oh and another thing, the server took my lady's drink with stuff still in it. Um excuse me lol. Anyways, if your on the way sire but don't go out of the way.

Service and atmosphere are great. However the food is a little under seasoned. I would recommend Stewart’s instead for better food. The drinks were really good though!

My boyfriend took me here for our one year anniversary, and this place did not disappoint! I ordered a Bloody Mary, and it was really good! The food we got, was absolutely perfect! We had enough room for dessert, so we got the berry cheesecake, which tasted so delicious! Our server was super helpful, and she didn’t make us feel bad for not knowing what some foods on the menu were. She was very prompt and her demeanor was professional and friendly! There was a lady playing the guitar and singing outside on the patio, but unfortunately it was too cold for anyone to be out there. She sounded very good and her voice was angelic. I hope next time we go, we will be able to see her perform. Overall, we will definitely return, especially during the summertime so we can sit outside and enjoy the patio.

First off: I love the overall atmosphere and experience of this place and look forward to coming again. It is a great place to come spend time with friends or for a date night. The food wasn’t bad, but it didn’t wow me. It was good but I expected more wow for the price. I got the crispy chicken Alfredo and the pasta could have been cooked better, but overall I enjoyed it. The mozzarella sticks and eggplant sticks were great appetizers. The atmosphere was 10/10. I love the outdoor seating and how there is a garden in the center. We came in the evening around 8:30 and there was a DJ playing great music. It is a festive and fun place to come. I found out about this place from Tik Tok, and I can see why it’s so popular on the app. I definitely plan to come back! Would’ve been 5 stars if the food quality matched more with the price!

Kaitlin took great care of us! We love coming here for an amazing meal!

The bar tender was one of the best we've ever had. We like to sit and eat at the bar. My pasta was very good, but my husband's lamb chops were too salty. They were the special that night. I tried the polenta that came with his lamb chops, and it was inedible because of the amount of salt. Desserts were amazing! Great atmosphere.

The food and service was amazing!! We ordered a lemon pasta dish and a pizza and they were both fantastic. Their pastas and dough are made fresh. Not to mention that their lemoncellos are homemade and amazing too. We will be back and we will bring friends. They have a patio and outdoor area that is a fun and relaxing. This is a must visit!

As everyone has mentioned- the aesthetic of this place is 10/10. We sat on the patio and watched the sunset. Our server was super sweet and attentive. We had the Prosciutto Finocchinoa Salami to start and we loved it! Great appetizer to start and very filling. I ordered the Boomtown 2.0 which came with wild mushrooms, goat cheese, and asparagus- Detroit style. The pizza would have been way better without the asparagus but I did enjoy the pizza. Finished off with tiramisu for dessert and it was lovely! I'll have to return to try their pasta!

Gemelle deserves a lot of credit for their wait staff. From the time we entered the restaurant, the hostess was friendly and approachable. Courtney was an exceptional waitress our evening so special. The food was very good overall. My favorite item was the pizza with that killer rattlesnake sausage. The Caesar salad was good, but nothing crazy. We really enjoyed the lemon pasta, but it was such a small portion we wished there was more. Nothing has to be said about the environment. It is such a cool restaurant outside of downtown.

One of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. There was a lot of hype around this restaurant. We had to make reservations and if we missed our reservations it would've cost us $60. Our expectations were high. The restaurant is beautiful. There was live music. The first girl we met that worked there was very, very kind. After that, it went down hill. After our drink and appetizer orders were taken, it took an HOUR to get those things. When my friend got her pinot noir, it was ICE cold. She requested a glass that was not ice cold, and after about half an hour they brought her a glass. Once they finally took our actual orders (an hour and a half after being there) the waitress asked me if I would like chicken to go with my cacio y pepe. I said sure, but what she did not tell me is that adding chicken cost a whole $10 more on top of the ridiculously overpriced food. We waited another hour to even GET our food that we were being charged so much for. The portions were itty bitty, the food was extremely mediocre and overpriced. The waitress had switched my friend's wine to a more expensive one without telling her, and gave attitude when she was confronted about it. We will never be back. Save your money AND your time. This place is out to get as much money for you as possible, while posing to be a classy restaurant.

Went there last night. Avoid this place. Bronzino was served on a lake of mayo and very very salty. Wife's chicken was overcooked and hard to cut even with a knife. should have sent them back. Regret we didn't. Tim Needs to better train his kitchen staff. food was poor. Aventinos, cafe Bella, Bella Italia much better chu.

LOVED the vibes of this place. Truly 1000/10, their pool, garden and patio was soooo beautiful. It was perfect on a cool early afternoon for brunch. Their eggs benedict were a hit, the jalapeno pesto hollandaise was amazing. Loved the deep dish Detroit style pizza too. Service was good!

Suuuuuuper cute place! Of you're looking for a good photo op with the girls for bunch, this is it! This would also be a cute date night spot, but I haven't been here at night. Scenery aside, the food and drinks are really good. Came here with my team from work for our Christmas lunch. I ordered the Gemmell with basil and pistachio pesto. This is not something I would normally order, but I was feeling adventurous and I'm so glad I did! The sauce was so different and yummy! The crunch of the pistachios were a nice touch. Everyone else enjoyed their plates also. Server was attentive.

Came here for date night and was absolutely blown away by how adorable this place is. Gemelle is very intimate and cute, perfect for a date. We sat outside because the weather was amazing on this day. My husband ordered the Margherita pizza and I had the pepperoni Jalapeño house pizza. Their pizzas are so amazingly delicious. The house pizza was packed with flavor both sweet, spicy, and was definitely my favorite. I had both a Limoncello Spritz, and an Aperol Spritz. Although not an Aperol Spritz fan, the Limoncello was great. I left out of there a bit tipsy. Their staff is friendly and gave us fun information about the restaurant, like the fact that they grow their own vegetables, and you can go see their garden. Overall I 100% recommend Gemelle.

Immaculate vibes every time me and my girlfriend visit here. We love a chill ambiance and Gemelle has it! Excellent service from Donovan, our bartender, for happy hour. They let us in early when we didn't know we were early! Pizzas are amazing and we always order the beef tartare, never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone who has never tried Gemelle.

Calm clean aesthetic atmosphere. Little pricey but pizza and drinks were awesome! Friendly staff and interesting concept with a hotel and pool on the restaurant grounds, however it is not really on the river. Sat on outside patio in Texas summer, yet it wasn't too hot! Would definitely go again!

Amazing homemade pasta. 5 stars! Yummmmmm food and great service. The atmosphere was great too!

Another standout spot in the Forth Worth area! This restaurant attached to a micro-hotel has a peaceful and cute backyard area with fun photo ops and the hotel pool. The ambiance and is sweet and feminine, and they even have a local restaurant cat named Wednesday who hangs around! We started with the breadsticks, and while they look simple, man do they pack flavor! Both dipping sauces were awesome and the Parmesan and garlic flavors were exactly what you want them to be. For my main I went for the preserved lemon and garlic half chicken, which came with crispy Parmesan potatoes and summer squash tossed in pesto. The flavors were incredible! The chicken was filling and flavorful, and the potatoes were to die for and perfectly crispy. The squash and pesto combo was new for me and so refreshing and different! We also enjoyed the crispy chicken with fettuccini Alfredo and pesto pasta, and both were cooked perfectly - the crispy chicken is the perfect kind that often comes with chicken parm. The service may have been a little slow, but it was still very friendly and we had a great time enjoying the meal and never felt rushed. I'd love to come back!

So the ambience was nice. It was pretty inside. I liked how they gave you free shots for your first time there. Free birthday shot for my friends birthday. The vibes were there for sure. Now the food. I got the pork ragu and as much as it looked delicious, it was bland. The noodles were still a little hard, the meat had no flavor. The Caesar salad was a little too drenched in dressing and very potent with anchovy. The pizza was good. I've never had pizza with honey and that was very different. It was good. Just feel like it was too much honey. Overall I don't think I would be back. But it was a good experience.

This place is such a great vibe. Food is excellent and the staff is so friendly. I had the margarita pizza and it was delish.

The best pasta I've ever had in America. I studied abroad in Italy, so I know good pasta. I could tell the pasta was quality and hand-made. The breadsticks were very soft and tasty. The pizza was also delicious and I appreciated its thickness, soft center, and crispy edges.

In house made pasta and fantastic pizza, what else is there to say?! The dining room is small, so I suggest making a reservation unless you don't mind sorting outside on their lovely patio.

This place is so cute! The food is delicious! The staff is so sweet and friendly! There is also a small cute hotel next door, hope to stay at sometime.

The absolute worst Service ever experienced while dinning out. We drive by this place daily and have always wanted to stop by. Today we arrived and was impressed by the bar area but opted to sit outside on the patio. A large group of 13 yr old teen girls we're celebrating a birthday. No biggie really. They were loud and having fun. The couple with the teens had a table next to us and apologized. The teens weren't really that bad. We ordered a pizza for an appetizer, split a antipasto salad and chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Pizza was good, but had way too much cheese. The salad had a nice dressing and the pasta never arrived and were never offered refills. We had to ask for both. Our server had nothing to do with the other tables outside. The teens would head out to the garden area (the rest promotes growing their own spices) so it got quiet until the 2 other couples joined the couple sitting next to us who stood talking for what seemed like for ever. Literally hovering over us. I had to excuse myself, asked for the check and left. Should be noted they took off the price for the fettuccine and handed us the order to go. Complimentary. I suppose a nice gesture but wow what an overall bad experience.

Had a delicious early dinner here this afternoon. Love the whole vibe. We sat on the covered patio with fans so it was very comfortable. Our waiter Kyle was awesome. So attentive and friendly. We had the Grilled leeks with Goat Cheese appetizer, Bavette Cacio E Pepe and the Basil-Pistachio Pasta. Everything was very flavorful. Finished with the Butterscotch Budino. It was amazing! . Can't wait to have it again. Love that they grow all their herbs. What a great place

We reserved a table for 11 people for a birthday party and showed up on time. We placed our orders in at 7:30 and it took 1.5 hours for our food to come. All the people around us were getting their meals, even those who came after us, and we did not. We did not even get our food until we got the manager to come and talk to us. While we were waiting they got us shots to compensate, but half our table does not drink and a lot were not drinking because they were driving. It was 9:00 and they told us that it would come in 10 minutes or we could leave. We were one of the last people left. We were able to get our food at 9:12. The food was not even that great, with some items undercooked. For the price we paid for the meals we expected better quality. They could not compensate us for our food, they could only compensate for the drinks other people bought. On top of this, we called the restaurant ahead of time to ask if they could split the bill between 6 people and they told us they could. At the restaurant they said they could not. We still had to pay the 22% service charge, which at least that could have been compensated for a two hour wait. Will not be coming back, especially for a group event.

Service was great and food was delicious . The ambiance was fun as well. Oh and I probably had the best old fashion there I have ever had

Unfortunately things have gone downhill here. We get the same thing every time and now they are VERY different. Smaller portions, missing ingredients, stingy dressing, Dirty menus, the sofa bench seats on the patio are bolted into the wall and filthy. Can't imagine the last time they were cleaned. Server was very sweet but after expressing we would like more dressing because there wasn't much on the salad we were charged $1.50 for it. Seriously? I have a photo (on my previous review) that shows how much of the pesto dressing is supposed to go on the veggie salad. There was barely any. The pizza is now dense and thinner than before. (See both photos) Plus their Instagram says half price wine every Wednesday but they apparently MEANT TO SAY only bottles. No managers to be seen during the entire visit. This used to be our regular spot and the place we always recommended to our friends and family. Not anymore. ************ Edit to respond to management: Do the "changes" you made to the pizza include over-kneading the dough? Seems like a poor choice. And actually there wasn't a host when we were there. Our server sat us. Every review is an opportunity to improve your business and your excuses and lack of accountability really shows you have no intention of doing so.

Vibes were good. I would recommend not sitting outside during summer because we were watching everybody swap, flies away, and kind of get frustrated. But that's not their fault, we were the ones that chose to sit outside with the elements of nature. The workers were pretty kind, one of our servers was Laotian, just like me, and was really easy to bond with and very helpful. We thought this would be one of those Instagram places where you mostly pay for the aesthetic and get small portions of food, but we were actually able to eat quite a bit and get full off of it.

HUGE LET DOWN! My daughter made reservations wanting to try something NEW! Made a 2:15 reservation (empty dinning room) for 3 myself, and two teen girls.We walked in around 2:20. We stood in the doorway never being greeted (staff assumed we were with another party). After overhearing a server ask them if they had reservations I raised my voice informing the staff that we were waiting to be seated. Again, keep in mind the entire bar and dinning room empty. She proceeds to seat us. We went to the patio area, looked over the menu and were ready to order... I realized they never took our drink order. At this time we sat there the 3 of us in the middle of the patio listening to every table being asked if they needed something. I then said to my daughters they have 10 min to ask us what we'd like to drink. After sitting for 20 min no one came. Not once!! Passing us back and forth over our shoulders... They clearly didn't want our business if you catch my drift! I don't write reviews like this as some can come off ignorant. But!! The shoe fits at this establishment... I addressed the manager, her response was "what table where you sitting out?". Biggest joke and offense... they had like 6 tables and an empty restaurant... really?! 1st and last service I've ever received this low... Classless and ignorant establishment #dobetter

This place is adorable. Their little outdoor garden area is so cute! Both times I've gone have been rainy so unfortunately we had to sit inside but it's really nice inside too and no matter where you sit, the food is AMAZING. Everything we've had has been excellent.

As one does, I came for the vibes. I would definitely be willing to upgrade my review when they change the payment requirement. Putting stipulations on customers, telling them they do not separate the table's check and that they can only take "up to four cards" for the entire party is excessive. Let customers pay individually if needed. This establishment, this restaurant group, is making more than enough to cover merchant costs

One of my favorite restaurants in Fort Worth! Absolutely adorable atmosphere with a gorgeous patio and garden outside! There's a tree in the middle of the patio outside - so cute! Big red neon LOVE sign in the garden by the pool that is a great photo op. Really love the drinks and the food is great as well. Perfect spot to stop in for a quick drink and would be great for a date night! Really fast and friendly service. Cannot recommend enough!

Best pizza Beautiful patio Attached to trendy micro hotel Yummy drunks $89 for 2 including a growler of craft beer

Cool vibe and great place to hang out but food is just off. Life pretentious and not really good. Staff is amazing! We had a charcuterie board with no crackers or bread. Weird. And the fried artichokes didn't have a sauce just here are some fried artichokes. The signature drink is off putting as well. The first sip you think yum but after two or three it just becomes overwhelming and not refreshing. It's got a a place for bands to perform and a nice patio and lawn area but I just didn't find anything on the menu that I would want to come back for. They have a full bar so I think that is what draws the crowd.

The Italian food at Gemelle tasted divine. They hand make their pasta and use their next-door garden for fresh herbs and vegetables. The decor and atmosphere make for a great place to meet up with coworkers, family, or friends,. You can go for date night or host a dinner party. Unfortunately, the service is incredibly slow. Prepare to spend 2 or more hours at Gemelle once you are seated.

This is our second time coming in to the restaurant. This time it was for a birthday get-together for myself that my husband was putting together. He tried calling the party organizer. They told him they no longer work with the company. He finally got to talk to someone working at the actual restaurant he was told we were only allowed 12 guests. We arrived today at 11:30am, to an empty restaurant. No other customers inside. kind of annoying that he was told we could have no other people, would have been nice to not have people left out. Next was the service. It was just our table, we were told we couldn't spilt the check. Except for 4 checks split equal. It took 20 plus mins to get our food out. Again, we were the only ones inside the restaurant. The server seemed overwhelmed and annoyed. My husband is in the service industry so he made it known how many people and that was a special event. But nothing birthday special was executed. All that to say, the food was ok. The place is cute. Do not expect much.

first time at this restaurant am a fan of Tim Love and been to all his restaurants in the Stockyards so for this restaurant we had a party of 12 the food is good the service ok the price does not fit like a high end restaurant. we were in the covered patio with flies all over getting into the food. the worst part they don't do separate checks which is unheard of these days . they need to update the system to accommodate large groups . This place is an afterthought. My opinion. Can be better.

Love the Detroit style pizza. It's a great date night spot or a place for a small group of friends.

Gemelle was a great experience. The main meal was fantastic. For the antipasti, we shared the roasted garlic Parmesan breadsticks and very delicious. I had the Bucatini Arrabbiata Garlic Shrimp and it was tasty with a little heat but it did not overpower the pasta. I would get that again. My wife had the Ricotta Gnocchi with Sausage tomato Ragu and it too was delicious. Drinks were made quickly and tasted very good. We ate at the bar due to Friday night busy time. The indoor ambiance is cute and energetic. The outdoor dining would probably be better in spring, early summer and the fall. July dining makes the area hot, hot. However there were several customers out there. They do have the large water cooler's blowing on customers out there. On the patio, you can hear the live music down below in the Garden . Negative comment.....ordered the bourbon pecan cheesecake but it was served to us still frozen and of course cheesecake crumbles when we tried to eat it. Not sure if it tasted good as we could not get by the cheesecake crumbles. Reservations were for 7pm, got there at 6:30 for an adult beverage at the bar. Hostess told us to check with her when ready. At 7pm went to hostess stand and was told it would be an hour for inside seating but outside seating was available in 104 degrees. She said they were a patio venue and we should have told them inside only. Maybe they should have come to us before the last inside seats were taken. Anyway, we had a great time with our bartender during our meal so I guess it worked out for the best. We will go back as the food was extraordinary and service was great.

Food was hot or miss, Service was S-L-O-W and it was a slow day so not sure why. Drinks alone took over 30 minutes (2 canned sodas, a coffee, and a Negroni. Great concept, poorly executed!

I came here for a work dinner as a client so was looking forward to all of the offerings on the menu. The location is a bit out of the way and is kind of a road side spot, but high end. The property is unique as it has an outdoor area with a courtyard and a small pool. I am not sure if people use the pool or not when it is warm enough. There was an issue with our party before we even arrived as our group was more than 10 people and they would not let us reserve with a group larger than 10, so some sat at a different table initially, but then we were able to join together at one large table along the backside of the enclosed patio. Seemed like more of a hassle than needed to be. On to the food...the menu has a daily special and we were there on a Tuesday so the crispy salmon skin did not sound good to me. I got the fettucine with pork ragu and it was pretty good. The sauce could have used a little more kick, but everything tasted fresh and the portion size was decent. Our servers were great and the vibe was cool.

Restaurant is cute for girls lunch. I got the gnocchi which honestly was mediocre lol I've had frozen gnocchi that's better. Maybe a side of bread would've been nice :) Service was mid, waitress was a little rude

This place will forever hold a special moment and place in my heart. I got engaged and Gemelle staff was in on it. Not only was the food amazing! The staff goes beyond and above! You will not be disappointed I promise. Service was exceptional!

Food is great! Pizza is better than pasta in my opinion. I always order a martini. Sitting on the covered patio is my favorite. I recommend!

Great food with attentive staff and killer ambiance! Love the Detroit style pizza and the bolognese

The amicable was beautiful, but although we had a reservation, the wait time on food was horrible. We waited almost 2 hours for very mediocre food. Not worth the wait or snappy waitress at all. We almost finished our food cause we were famished at this point. The best was the house pizza and the crispy chicken. Very cold inside, but beautiful gardens and decor.

Finally tried Gemelle (pronounced by staff as gem-ell-ee) and we LOVED our experience start to finish. First things first, the hostesses were sweet and accommodating, and our waiter was perfect - attentive but not hovering, spaced out our courses and gave awesome recommendations. Let's start with drinks: I of course started with the frozen Aeperol Spritz (refreshing, their signature for a reason) and my husband got the Bitter, sweet cocktail - delish! Followed it up with the Bellini (Prosecco and peach sorbet) which was basically dessert - so delicious and sweet! My husband rounded out the night with the Milanese Morning (espresso and rye) 10/10! Now for the FOOD! We freaked out about how much we loved everything we ordered - consider it all 10/10: - Burrata & prosciutto appetizer - Fried mozz & eggplant sticks - Boomtown pizza (you MUST get a pizza - Detroit style crust - OMG!!!) - Bucatini Pasta main - for the love of all things. It was so good. Next time we wanna try the ricotta gnocchi! Lovely atmosphere, with a brand new Hotel Otto right behind the restaurant, tucked away for the perfect staycation getaway! Check it out and book your dinner & stay ASAP!!

I've been here before about 4 years ago and it was pretty underwhelming, but tonight was so delicious!!! The new chef is AMAZING! I had the half chicken with the arugula salad and it was so delicious!! We also got the berry cheesecake and it was so light and fluffy!! The service was so great as well, very attentive and great recommendations. The chef came to our table after to say hi as well and was so welcoming and amazing, definitely will be back!!!

Here's a simple screening to see if you'll like this place: 1. Are you or have you been in a sorority, and if the later are you seeking to re-live your glory days with your smile-lined girlfriends? 2. Are you a hosting a bridal brunch? 3. Are you a Tim Love die-hard who thinks he can do no wrong? 4. Are you a male who owns a pink shirt or tie? Congrats, this is your scene!! Otherwise, if you like food worth its price tag, restaurants that live up to their hype, and menus that are fancy but without having to google all the ingredients, look elsewhere. Now to be fair, this place was worth a look, hence the three stars. Gemelle has frozen aperol spritzes and while my tiny-ass glass was a visual disappointment upon arrival, the flavor and refreshment did not disappoint. Cocktails have a feminine flair that vibes well with the greenery on the screened porch patio and in the gardens below, which are rather pretty. And the food is good and veggies are grown in the garden yada yada. That's cool but like, not $20 tiny appetizer cool (I'm looking at you, artichoke hearts). The pizza was nice, but in a "I'm drunk and this toaster oven pizza is the BOMB" kind of way. Let's say it's worth a cocktail trip before dinner and we'll call it even.

Love this place but service was rocky. Drinks check, food check, table location uncheck, waitress knowledge uncheck.

Like buoyancy and gravity pulling against each other, five star atmosphere is dragged down by two star food in this entrepreneurial experiment from restaurateur Tim Love. The reason reviews for Gemelle are all over the map is that it's hard not to have some strong reaction to this place. We were wowed by the design, sense of vision, and the well dressed clientele, then underwhelmed by the food as we were eaten by mosquitos. As for the atmosphere, inside dining and bar have trendy lighting and design. Outdoor seating is part elevated deck, part lower garden with a satellite bar, patio tables, a bocce court, built around beds of vegetables growing for use by the restaurant. Once we sat down on the deck, I was continuously bitten by mosquitos. Then, the food did not deliver even close to what the atmosphere promised. Despite this, Gemelle may still work for some customers. If you're going to do it, here are some tips I'd offer. 1) If you're going to sit outside *definitely* cover yourself with bug spray. We sat on the deck and the next day I had twenty bites on my arms and back. I couldn't help thinking this would SUCK from a Covid spread perspective were I not fully vaccinated. 2) Make a reservation. We went Thursday at 8 and there was a wait. 3) Bring a salt shaker, unless you like bland food. By bland, I mean "send it back, this can't be right" bland. Might pack a shot of vodka too. The drinks are light. 4) Don't expect authentic Italian cuisine, even though its marketed as such. The Detroit Style Deep Dish (Sicilian) pizza just isn't. The edges of mine were overdone, ingredients and cheese were concentrated in the middle, and the crust was not right. The middle was amazing. But, this isn't Cane Rosso where pizza only happens in the middle of the pie. If it's ehffing Sicilian, it needs to be right. The Fried Baby Artichokes, Lemon and Parmesan was over cooked and had no lemon taste whatsoever. We asked to change it out and went with the breadsticks, also bland. The pesto made it a little interesting. 5) They charge $1.25 for a side of dressing for dipping. This is typically a death knell, a sign that management is counting beans so closely they must be struggling. I can't see that here, so it just came off as kinduva dick move. Hell, Chili's will give you a ramakin of ranch to dip fries in without charging. This upscale place with menu items above $30 needs to charge me for a little cup? 6) Our server Lisa was great, like mega thumbs up. The bartender was awkward and kinda slow to wipe food debris from the bar in front of me as I sat there. The manager was friendly, personable, and accommodating when we didn't like the appetizer and took it off the ticket. 7) The lower level patio, the coolest part of the venue, is not open all the time. And, there's no schedule for this per se. You just have to call ahead. This kinda sucks if you want to time your visit when it's not too busy in order to enjoy this very cool cultivated space. So, my thought is the target market is not foodies, but people who like a sense of atmosphere and society, but could care less how interesting the food is. If you want Detroit Deep Dish, try Jets. For drinks, The Amber Room. Better Italian can be found all over Fort Worth. But, Gemelle has a one of a kind vibe. So, I recommend with a 3 and some caution.

The atmosphere was 10/10 for being cute and trendy, even though the live music playing was too loud for me to hear the person next to me talking. But the food took forever and ever to come, I got the gnocchi, and to be honest, it seemed extremely gooey- like raw bread dough. The overall flavor of the sauce was good though. I also tried the pizza, which was 10/10

The service was amazing!!! The chef came out to speak with us and our waitress was so hospitable! Bolognese had a great spice and Tiramisu was perfectly cooked and very flavorful!

I enjoy this place for the ambiance. I like the thin pizza supreme. The margarita pizza had no tomatoes and not enough basil for my liking. I bet if you ask they can add some though. It's fun too to sit outside and listen to live music.
