Gemma Simply Italian

The warmed olives in chianti were a delicious way to start, but the two pizze we had were simply terrific. Of the two, the Peppino (with sausage, truffle oil, mushrooms and buffalo mozzarella) was especially outstanding. Great bases, perfect balance of toppings - best pizza in Carlton.

Fantastic little restaurant off Lygon. This place serves authentic Italian food which is pretty much the same as that you find in Italy. This place is leaps and bounds above anything else you find in the Lygon/Italian restaurant Precinct. We have never been able to find Italian food this authentic anywhere in Melbourne. The gnocchi we had was homemade and perfectly cooked. The pizza was floppy and the dough was amazing. I don't think I've ever eaten the crust of a pizza so quickly before! Highly recommended place to eat if you want truely authentic Italian food.

Brought my husband here for his birthday. The gnocchi melts in the mouth and the sauce was so nice. The pizza was beautiful and authentic Italian style. Service was also good. Overall we were pleased and will return.

I don't think The Fork booking process actually worked, but the restaurant found a table for us anyway. We were off to a movie after and the service was so quick it was perfect. Absolutely delicious, authentic and fresh. Not trendy or pretentious, just good food.

Best pizza in Carlton. Terrific bases, plus a well-balanced, simple range of toppings for the authentic Neapolitan experience. We rarely venture anywhere else and have tried all the local pizzerias. Give it a try!

I was given the incorrect dish and wasn’t offered for the dish I had actually ordered to be made for me and had to pay full price for the meal I didn’t order. The customer service was poor especially on such a busy night.

So glad we discovered this restaurant. Fantastic, authentic pizza and gnocchi. The ragu alla norcina sauce is amazing. Will definitely go back to taste all the pizzas and pasta on the menu!

Amazing food, especially the gnocchi! Me and my friend had the 4 cheese gnocchi - absolutely divine. The pizzas look good too. Will be back to try more stuff on the menu!

For the price i wasn't impressed with the pizza it was soggy. The salad had no dressing and the prices were expensive for the quality of ingredients

The wait staff were great and attentive. The food was amazing as always. I will definitely be back again soon!! Great to see the restaurant full and buzzing with people

Considering we went during COVID the restaurant had a great atmosphere and the food was really nice. Was expecting a bigger size dish for the pasta but was still really nice food! Would go back for sure

Beautiful resturant and delicious gnocchi - highly recommend...………...…………...…………………………………….....................……………………………………….

Very nice little place discovered just around the corner from our favourite cinema. The vege spaghetti and gluten free gnocchi were very good. Very nice salad too. No room for dessert though. Great service too.

Great little place to grab an excellent pizza before the movies around the corner. Just a quick visit this time, but the margherita pizza was just right, service was friendly and fast, the rest of the menu looked good and we'll likely visit again to try more.

we will be going again ! The pizzas were excellent and the pasta was super ! The service was great too ! :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pizza and gnocchi were delicious! Very friendly staff, and not too loud. Definitely a new place to add to my recommendations list. Will be coming back for sure!

We are regulars at Gemma's - simple, fresh, home-cooked food, delicious pizza, honest wine list, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, good value for money. We will be back for sure.

A great night with authentic Italian food

Classic Italian - food, atmosphere & service

4 Formaggi gnocchi was amazing!
