Was Gideon Becker at Gemelli a mag?
Came here for a birthday which had been indicated in the booking, although this wasn 't acknowledged while we were there. A number of items were missing from the menu due to a seasonal changeover, and sadly the the rooftop was closed, even though it wasn 't a cold evening. The food was solid but patchy ie. some dishes were amazing (fish special), while others were thoroughly average (grilled eggplant suuuper oily and... View all feedback.
What Bell Koepp dislikes about Gemelli:
All about our experience was: YIKES. Dinner reservations for my husband's birthday, but after we waited an hour to sit and each order will be served a drink, we decided to go somewhere else and eat. Woeful Under-Staffed, i.e. long waiting times, dirty/non-busted tables, the bar was illuminated with cups of plates napkins by former males. Water glasses we were served were not properly cleaned. It was a total grief. View all feedback.

Nice, courteous and patient with my parents from the city when we came between brunch and dinner menu, they let us wait until the dinner menu starts with drinks. Tables larger than 4 are on the outside on the terrace in a closed plastic area with room heating. The tables were somehow wobbly and it made us spill a glass of water their fixation was to stack carton coasters under the table that fell and almost caused another spill. Maybe this could be fixed? The restaurant and bar inside is BEAUTIFUL and really beautifully designed. All our food was too late and they took it from our bill, and they gave us a free dessert because they heard it was a birthday. A real complaint, though the bathrooms are WAY WAY too dark. How so dark you can't say if you're really striving. I had to open the door to wash my hands. All agreed in our party (with many different aged eyes, from 20s to 60s! . Many Buschwick bars have dimming bathrooms (I get it, ambience, but that was just too dark for a bathroom, and especially one in a restaurant serving food.
For an undisputed Sunday early evening the service was somewhat slow, but pleasant server and the time between ordering and receiving participants was too slow. food but was wonderful
We loved the food drinks and the atmosphere!! Great local place!! Can’t wait to go back!!
