First timer .. I'll be back ... had the spinach farfalla ! Wow ! The in-house bread ... salad so fresh. I sat back by the kitchen and watched the pasta being made!
Incredible friendly service.

This dining experience was 10 out of 5 stars from start to finish. In the middle of nowhere Oregon, this restaurant is doing everything right and is worth a trip from anywhere. Excellent cuisine, excellent service, fabulous ambiance. From the fresh focaccia served with drinks, to the home made desserts to finish - everything was excellent. HIGHLY recommend.

Amazing little gem in the heart of Port Orford. Food was amazing and the staff was so friendly. Was worried it would be too fancy (we had been on the beaches along the coast all day) but it just felt very homey and comfortable. I will definitely make a point of stopping here when I am in the area again!

Our first and only experience at Cafe Gemma was pretty awful. I'm surprised to read all the good reviews. But I guess any restaurant can have an off night. We were there for 2.5 hours--no appetizers, no dessert--just sitting waiting for entrees. One of the dishes, a chicken parmesan, came out charred black on top (and the chicken was dry). I had an entree salad that was acceptable, but not at all interesting--mostly just lettuce and tomatoes and a few dried slices of chicken. The other two dishes were OK. What really annoyed me about the place is that no one apologized for the very, very long wait for dinner, the burned parmesan, or the fact that one of our meals came 15 minutes after the other three. Yeah, I guess it could just have been a bad night, but we're not going to give Gemma another chance, mainly because they never apologized or tried to make things right. What a shame, since Port Orford doesn't have many dinner options. We've never been impressed with Redfish, but it wasn't as bad as Gemma.

We had a lovely time visiting Cafe Gemma and I think it’s my new favorite restaurant in Port Orford. Every dish we had was excellent! You could tell everything was made from scratch. I will absolutely be stopping by again. The mocha coffee was delicious ☕️ and the pasta was some of the best I’ve had in years

Absolutely delicious! You can tell that the food is crafted with an immense amount of care and passion. Don't miss out on getting one of the meatballs as well as the fresh pasta option. And be sure to call in advance for a reservation!!
Jusr WOW! Port Orford has a hidden gem of a restaurant in Cafe Gemma. All food is made from scratch, fresh salad, the ravioli special was heaven, chicken marsala done perfectly, wonderful meatballs, house wine was very good and the tiramisu was a pillowy heaven. You need reservations, its a small place.

Visiting Port Orford and lucked into finding this gem! Absolutely wonderful! Delicious food, friendly service. My farfalle lemon with spinach was wonderful! My friend has a goat cheese and leek ravioli. The bread was outstanding. And the cheesecake dessert was divine. Can’t recommend it enough.
