Bottle of Prosecco and Chianti 4 starters, 4 mains 2 sweets and 2 liqueur coffees £140. I would recommend the steak it was real melt in the mouth. Definitely worth... More

We went on a Groupon offer to this unassuming little restaurant near the town centre of Torquay.It does not look anything special from the outside but once inside has the ambience of a lovely bistro. The house white wine was very much to our taste and the food was exceptional. We liked it so much that we visited again at... More

This was our 2nd visit to Gemellis, the first being just after they opened quite a while ago. I thought it was OK to good the first time, but it is even better now. The food was lovely, fresh and tasty. Very typical Italian menu, pasta, pizzas, meat and fish. The veg was more interesting than the usual boring selection... More

After bring very disappointed with the meals at our hotel it was a treat to eat a really fresh cooked Italian meal I wish we had bigger appetites as the portions were large. The service was attentive not intrusive. We were the only diners at eight. As we were leaving another couple arrived if this was in Hertfordshire it would... More

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!
