Terrible terrible terrible!! Had veal saltimbocca that was essentially inedible. Meatball appetizer was ok. When I told the waitress the meal was "terrible" she asked if we wanted something to take home and we declined. Waitress was very nice and accommodating but the check arrived with zero discounts noted on the check. I should have turned and walked out as soon as I walked in when I saw that we were the only people in the restaurant.

We stopped by Gemelli Ristorante last evening after a family funeral, to enjoy a meal together before the five of us parted ways to head home to PA and MD. So glad we did! After an emotional couple of days we all appreciated the warmth of the staff at Gemelli’s as well as the amazing food and ambiance of this fantastic restaurant!! We were greeted at the door by a lovely lady who seated us in their beautiful outdoor garden area. And the food - ?. Everything was excellent, from the bread with olives and garlic to the wine, entrees and dessert. Their meatballs are fantastic!! Everybody enjoyed their meals, from pasta to pizza. I’ve had some really great Italian food in my 60 years and the food at Gemelli’s did not disappoint. Last but not least, I have to say our server Kim was THE BEST ?. She put up with some of our bad jokes and even shared a few of her own (hers were better ?). Her sense of humor and personality are terrific - just what we all needed to lift our spirits after the funeral. If you are ever in Babylon NY I encourage you to visit Gemelli’s. I believe you will be very happy you did. Enjoy ?

After spending an enjoyable Sunday afternoon at the Argyle Theater, we decided to try Restaurante Gemilli and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, Gusippe our server was friendly and attentive, the restaurant is immaculately maintained. We started with the hot antipasto, for the entrees we had fresh ravioli in a light tomato sauce and linguine with shimp, clams, calamari and mussels. We finished with a fresh made pastry topped with apple and carmel sauce and a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a couple of Cappuccino's. The restaurant has a large parking lot so there is no worry about parking or having to walk any great distance. This restaurant definitely exceeded our expectations.

Have been regulars but probably won't be rushing back. Their portions have decreased while prices have increased. If you're going to raise prices, at least keep the same quality/amount. And $20. Dollar martinis? Which literally only consists of a shot & a lil juice. Yikes!

I recently had a very unfortunate experience at Ristorante Gamelli, a place I had long been curious about and finally decided to visit on March 30, 2024. The ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming, and I was eager to try their menu, opting for what I hoped would be a delightful dinner consisting of calamari, buffalo meatballs, and stuffed shells. Little did I know, this meal would lead to a distressing health ordeal.Merely hours after dining, around 9/9:30 PM, I retired for the evening, only to be awoken at 11:30 PM by severe abdominal pain, accompanied by vomiting, extreme nausea, and body aches. The intensity and persistence of these symptoms were alarming enough to necessitate a visit to the emergency room on March 31, 2024, which was Easter Sunday. The situation was dire enough to require IV fluids to address dehydration caused by what was diagnosed as food poisoning.Despite initial treatment, my condition did not improve significantly in the days following. I found myself back at the hospital due to an inability to retain food and a lingering sense of being unwell. This experience has been not only physically taxing but also emotionally draining, given the seriousness of food poisoning and its impact on my health.I share this review not to disparage Ristorante Gamelli indiscriminately but to highlight a deeply concerning incident that others should be aware of. Food safety is paramount, and I sincerely hope that my experience is an isolated case that prompts a thorough inspection and necessary improvements to ensure it does not happen to anyone else. Please be cautious and mindful of your dining choices, especially in places where the quality and safety of the food may not be guaranteed.

Great salad, pasta and eggplant parm, crispy and delicious.
Vegetarian options: While the majority of the items contain meat or seafood, there are plenty of great vegetarian options including pasta, eggplant parmigiana, soups, salads etc.

Food was absolutely delicious and waiting staff wonderful! Recommend Shrimp and lobster Risotto and Rigatoni Ragu!
ReviewWe had our daughter’s baptism at Ristorante Gemelli’s and exceptional is an understatement. From booking our event to the day of the party - the line of communication was fantastic and the effort George put in to make the day perfect proves exactly why this business has succeeded for the years it has. Firstly we arrived an HOUR early the day of the event ( this was my error) and George and his staff seamlessly rushed to get everything off the ground and running for almost 40 people. Without even a sweat they took it in stride and without a complaint being an HOUR early and staff not even on site yet- they had drinks served and apps out for our guests. Gusieppe was our waiter and he was absolutely phenomenal. The food was delicious and there are ZERO complaints from myself or any of my guests. I would recommend this place to anyone, and I look forward to using them in the future for all of our future parties and gatherings- even for a weekend dinner!

You won’t be disappointed. I’ve dined out enough on the south shore. 90% of the places are 3 stars at best… Nice Italian food that is tasty, consistant and the service is great.. and it’s beautiful inside.

Amazing Atmosphere, friendly staff, and you get the most bang for your buck!!
For a what it’s worth it’s not worth it. Comes across as a fine dining establishment which is the case as far as appearances. And even the staff. The food was on a scale of 1-10 falls short around. 3-4 especially for the price. Most of the food was was just barely warm. Taste like soup came out of a can. Disappointing meal on a new year’s eave . We were a party of 6 and all in agreement. Sorry we will not be back.
Excellent food and service
