Gemma

I had the gnocchi and it was incredible! Big portion, creamy sauce. YUM! I'd recommend getting a side of vegetables because there are none in the pasta itself. That and a glass of Chianti made for a delicious meal!

Gemma is a great dinner spot! The food is good and reasonably priced, and we got GREAT service. The squash salad was my favorite!

Gemma is located in the Bowery hotel, accessible from the street and let me tell you that the vibes are immaculate. Perfect for date night or dinner and drinks with friends. Warm and inviting tones with candles and chandeliers, somehow romantic but not so much as to not be able to gather with friends. And the exterior floor to ceiling windows open in the warmer months. In order of what it does best 1) ambiance 2) drinks and 3) food. The back ardenti drink is delicious if you're a tequila fan. As for the pasta, many of our pasta dishes seemed like they could've been left in the water a bit longer, the noodles were just too hard for our liking. Overall good spot with solid food and good drinks. Would book again for a group outing!

I used to really love Gemma, but it has seemed to have gone down hill in recent years. The interiors are lovely but the restaurant was super empty in the morning at breakfast. My husband and I had breakfast here on Friday morning because we were staying at the Bowery hotel. Service was fine but not overly attentive. I ordered a bone dry almond milk cappuccino that came decidedly wet. For breakfast I ordered the fruit and yogurt bowl with granola which was perfectly serviceable but nothing to write home about. My husband said that the breakfast sandwich was also fine, but we didn't come back for breakfast on Saturday or Sunday morning.

Really rustic, cool old school looking Italian spot. Menu is kind of small but everything we got was very good. Got the cacio e pepe, pesto pasta and burrata to start, all yummy. Wine was good too. Recommend and wasn't crazyyy expensive, but wouldn't put in my top Italian spots in the city.

Was very busy and loud, as expected for a Friday night - but was pleasantly surprised to be sat quickly. However, it was difficult to get our server and we felt as though we were being tossed to the next wait staff but having to wait for our server to actually order or make a request. I think the Focaccia served for the table was the most memorable - perfectly soft and just oily enough to wet our palate for more food. The Seafood Risotto was also very flavorful and had plenty of seafood from squid, clams, and mussels. I enjoyed the Taglioni as it was very fresh and light, but I think the pasta settled a bit making it very dense and hard to separate.

This was an excellent brunch spot in a nice hotel. We had 3 adults and 1 kid in a spacious booth. Our servers were excellent - all helping each other bring items out and taking things away. I had the eggs in purgatory (baked eggs, tomato sauce, onions, olives, capers, thyme, parmigiano) which was delicious! Not super filling but packed a ton of flavor. Others in my party had the blueberry pancakes, egg sandwich, and eggs a la Gemma. We opted for their smoothies and these were delicious as well. We all enjoyed our meals but what really stood out was the amazing service. Prices are on the higher side but what did you expect in this area? Would definitely come back while visiting NYC.

Our dinner at Gemma was spectacular. Great food, decent sized portions (and definitely recommend splitting a pizza), expansive bar area, and warm ambiance. It was chic and cozy at the same time.Perfect for date night or gathering with friends, but would highly recommend making a reservation in advance. We visited on a Saturday night and it was packed. With so many other options in the area, this was definitely a good sign of a great experience to come.Loved how "on-brand" everything was - from the menu, to the glass water bottles, sugar packets for your after dinner espresso, and on the receipts. All Gemma everything!

I didn't have high expectations for this place given I followed someone there without looking the restaurant up in advance but it was surprisingly tasty! Pasta was good and the cocktails were good too. Plenty of tables available. Would come back.

Good closed to my place ! Like the food but not loving it ! Very convenient , I like the appetizer shrimp and salad need to have more variety of dressing instead of only oil n vinegar
