Very cosy place with good food. Kitchen is open until 12AM for all the foodies who are hungry at that time. We ordered quatro fromagi pizza, Calamari insalate and truffle fries
I probably had one of my best Italian food experiences at this restaurant. Found this place by absolute chance as I was staying at the browery. The Cavatelli is a must try here
The food was average for the cost. However, the staff was amazing and the clientele was nice and provided interesting people watching. I would still suggest this place for a night out.
Great for breakfast. Adjacent to the Bowery Hotel, where we stayed, this spot was quite the scene. Tip top service for a gourmet breakfast and hot coffee. Old building, young crowd.
I’ve been wanting to go here for some time, I remember when the space was a filthy old gas station, now it’s a fancy hotel. Not that I’m complaining as free Italian food never hurt
I held a post-wedding dinner reception in the private wine room and it was the perfect ambiance, food, and service. I am so happy we were able to celebrate here!
Went for lunch here and the food was good, Cesar the manager was amazing, he took care of us and accommodate my party when I did not had a reservation. Interesting wine list.

Gemma is a true gem in the heart of the East Village. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a modern yet rustic aesthetic. The exposed brick walls and vintage lighting create a cozy and intimate setting.
The food is absolutely incredible. The menu features creative Italian dishes made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. I highly recommend the homemade pasta and the pistachio cannolis!

Wonderful ambience, chic, warm, and beautiful. Our waitress was great! Foods were slightly bit oily for me, but overall very tasty, love the wine and espresso martini!
Sat at the bar and just had drinks but the vibes were so cute here. Very cozy for a winter night out. The bar tenders were so nice and accommodating. Initially we were standing and they helped to make room so that we could be seated. Had a delicious decaf martini and would definitely go back for another! For a Friday night at 9 it was definitely busy but not crazy packed.
Unique ambiance! The staff was less friendly and welcoming than other cafes I’ve been to in NYC. It wasn’t even busy when I was there (the place was mostly empty), yet it seemed like no one I interacted with really wanted to be there or be helpful. For instance, the host was on the phone when I entered and impatiently motioned me to leave the host stand to get my own table. I ordered tea, which was fine, and cannot speak to the food.
The atmosphere was great and the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly. I will definitely visit again.
: This restaurant has pretty plates, too. 😍 🍽🍛
Ample indoor and outdoor seating.
Freshly prepared cuisine. Located attached to the famed Bowery Hotel. Large portion sizes so meals can be eaten tapas style, plus brunch all day long. Friendly and professional wait staff and fairly quick service despite the busyness. Private room for large parties/meetings.
Planned an engagement party dinner here and it was perfect LOTS of food, we ordered burratta, green salad, steak, salmon, pasta, and tiramisu. All delicious. And not too loud. Incredible and accommodating service to dietary needs.
Delicious food and amazing atmosphere! I can't say too much about the service because we were a gigantic party. I'm sure it wasn't easy for them to manage. But overall superb experience
