Fun little date night restaurant! Service was good but the food was even better! I would recommend making reservations to guarantee your spot. Fresh pizza, pasta, and salad. Overall great experience and would recommend to others.

this is my 1st time at a jemma restaurant and it def met my expectations. i got their crispy provolone and garlic bread which came out super fresh + was good (but is nothing special and not something i would order again but glad i tried). the best dish was the spicy rigatoni which was perfectly al dente and the sauce had a nice kick. their ospizza was also good and balanced with the honey. i loved the ambiance and the dimmed lighting was perfect. parking is valet next door and is kinda pricy at $20 with validation. i would come back to try their other pastas and get the spicy rigatoni again

True culinary perfection! The spicy rigatoni vodka melts in your mouth. The most perfectly cooked pasta I've ever had outside Italy. Seriously, PERFECTION. Beyond impressive hope fast they get the food out at this level of quality. The pizza is ridiculous quality as well. Finally special request to make chicken parm. At dinner was honored and it was some of the best I've ever had!!!

If I could rate Jemma more stars, I would. My buddies and I celebrated a birthday here and the service and the food were top notch. We ordered the broccolini, spicy rigatoni, the Frankie pizza and the Ospizza. My favorites were the spicy rigatoni and the Frankie pizza. They didn't have chicken sausage that day so we opted for Italian sausage and it was delicious. At the end they graciously brought my friend a glass of complimentary prosecco and it was a nice final touch to our meal. There is a public parking structure down the street for I believe $5. I can't wait to be back!

A very mediocre experience overall. My espresso martini was excellent, as was the meatball appetizer, but the main course was only fair. The menu said "Osso buco," but what they served was a brased veal Chop. It was overcooked and average at best. Mt daughter's cace di pepi was overcooked, and all stuck together. In addition, we waited over 40 min from the serving of appetizers to receiving our dinner. Not a good experience.

I've been here 4 times. Everything is good, every time. Eggplant Parm and Kale salad this time. Try the Crispy Provolone, anything with vodka sauce, like rigatoni or the pizza.

very disappointed-Watched interview on tv so asked my husband to drive an hour on our anniversary to try-the restaurant decor is lovely but the food was not what I expected-good but not great-certainly not worth the drive-everything served at room temperature not hot-I never send back nor make a fuss-At the prices I do not think necessary-no staff on duty just one waiter that was sweet but very difficult to understand-he even screwed checking open table for us-we received email while there so had to ask again to confirm done-another waiter came on duty eventually so service was okay the food was not
When we arrived the host seated up quickly and in a prime central location near the bar. The room is very energetic and bustling with patrons. The esthetic of the space is so chic and dimly lit, great ambiance with marble table tops with weighted seats and comfy benches. We did have to wait a bit and ultimately ask our server if we could order from her. The food was amazing, the app fried provolone so good, the Caesar salad was delicious. The pasta was amazing and Osobuco was ridiculously large and outstanding flavor. First time here, 9/10 recommend, will be back! Oh, and the table side filthy vodka martini was ?? a must!
We have dined here before attending shows at the Pantages theater. The food is amazing and the staff is excellent and helpful. Will definitely return. Still thinking about the spicy rigatoni and Niki cocktail!

The food was excellent and came promptly. I have dietary restrictions and they were more than accommodating. I lost my parking ticket and they called me on the phone twice to get it back to me! The ambiance was great. Highly recommended.

Okay, here we go...Awesome entry because the hostess was warm and welcoming. She took me to a spot and communicated to me along the path. Great atmosphere and my presence was great. The server was phenomenal in all aspects of the journey. She was pleasant, engaging and comforting in this wide open space. We started with cocktails and she forgave my original drink without a question and replaced it with what I really wanted. Okay, enough with the niceties...the Eggplant Parm was awesome. Heat throughout the dish, fresh Eggplant and and awesome flavor. Round two...was a little tricky. I wanted to try the veal and that wasn't going to happen because they ran out...okay, now what? Chicken Parm w/luiguine pasta. No luiguine but, they had spaghetti. Okay, let's see. Well, first she came with her selection of red wine...homerun. Then, bases loaded, tied game and bottom of the ninth...I won't flinch. She comes to the plate, ready to swing and there it is...a grand slam. Beautifully laid out with a creamy based marinara, nice portion of this spaghetti and a great red wine...clearly exceeded my expectations...nice job and I'm coming back for more. Don't discount the fact that I brought the same dish home and my friend lived it...we will be back. Thanks and I wish you the best luck I can offer to a new upstart restaurant...it's not easy and God bless...

We have been to the other restaurants from this chef and unfortunately this one didn't quite measure up. The cauliflower was ok and a salad course was quite ordinary. The caccio pepe came out luke warm and cooked of rapidly making it hard to eat especially as it was al dente. The steak tasted alright but had a lot of veins and gristle. The place was quite full but for us, we'd rather go to their other restaurants
