    We’ve been to Gemma a few times. Always seem to have the same thing because it’s so delicious. This time we went out of norm to try a few different items and we were so happy that we did! Our amazing waiter was Shawn!! He gets A+ for exceptional service with a smile. Shawn is very knowledgeable and so nice. We had the Scarpariell pizza which was so awesome!!! I’ve never had this one and it was fantastic!! So flavorful & delicious. Next we had 1 Chopped Kale salad & 1 Caesars salad, both delicious but my fav is the kale. There’s avocado in it and that lil avocado adds such a creamy ness to the crunch. Pasta dishes rates #1 Pappardelle Gigante, # Agnolotti , # 3 Spicy Rigatoni #4 Tagliatelle. There’s avocado Tagliatelle was the least favorite from our table. It just seemed to be lacking in flavor tonight. Drinks we had a coupe of Niki which was so refreshing with a cucumber garnish. Perfect blend of alcohol which went down too easy. Also had the basil margarita with salt foam. Again tasty & delicious. Wonderful dining experience and can’t wait to come back again 🥰🥳🍷
