Gemma Simply Italian

Food was ordinary. Waitresses too eager to remove our plates etc. Not overt friendly. Won't go again.

Food was amazing! It was great to see gluten free gnocchi options too.

However, the 2 waitresses who look after our table need to coordinate a lot better. We were badgered often and missing cutlery. It's not attentive service when you're rushed in a half full restaurant.

Staff were disinterested, clearly under-trained, did not communicate with each other and appeared to have no idea what they were doing.
Things left off our order, even after repeated chasing up with different staff.
Tomato gnocchi was tasteless, mushy and watery.
Pear salad incredibly underwhelming with frozen, pre-grated parmesan that sat as gritty, floury chunks on the bottom of the plate. Raw walnuts, no other cheese.and.tomatoes? !
Very, very loud - we left because we couldn't hear eachother over the din.
Poor service, below average food, and not worth the price. I feel sorry that we just spent so much money there. Won't hurry to go back, especially with so many far better options in the vicinity. What a shame.

I enjoyed the salumi board with a huge hunk of buffalo mozzarella, margherita pizza, and ragu napoletana.

Easily my most favourite & authentic pizza & pasta venue. Love the service and the food is to die for!

Extremely dissapointing - I came here again for the gnocchi, for the first time in 6 months. I used to come often because the gnocchi was so good - but tonight it was mushy, watery and tasteless, the restaurant was cold and the staff disinterested. It felt like a totally different restaurant - maybe I just came on a bad night. Won't be going back.

Such a cute place to eat. Loved all the vegetarian options and it tasted great. Will definitely return. Great attentive service. Well done.

It was only one of the few places open for the Easter break. Honestly, my wife and I didn't come here with large expectations until we had our food served.

We ordered a pizza and gnocchi with a bottle of wine. It was just amazing. The Italian food that I have had was nothing compared to this place. Honestly, I am not sure if it's this restaurant alone or the standard of the Italian restaurants in proximity is high.

I would definitely come back and recommend to anyone who wish to eat Italian in this neighbourhood. Italian food by real Italians. To us, it meant a lot.

One of my favourite places in Melbourne. I'd go back here in a heart beat. They were able to accommodate us on almost short notice, and customer service was great! I had pizza and yum ate it all! My Italian partner had a seafood pasta dish, and I was pleasantly surprised that he loved it (despite eating pasta on most days). Give this cute Italian place a visit for sure!

The best gnocchi ever! The pizza was also great. I will definitely come visit this place again:)

Great service and awesome food, we tried gnocchi, spaghetti and pizza and all dishes were great. We all found Bruschetta a bit salty though if anyones looking for improvements.
