  Sally Hsiao on Gemma
  27 Dec 2018

  I came to Gemma on a Monday night with my colleague. We started with the happy hour glass of wine until 8 PM (Yes, we were pretty stress out). For appetizer, we got a fish tartare (RMB 120), and except it looked very pretty and well decorated, it didn’t really make an impression regarding of the taste.

  As for the main course, the pizza (RMB 110-120) were just simply delicious! It was full of cheese and flavorful with just enough of burned. The Italian thin crust was crunchy yet chewy, and very well-cooked. Plus the service is great, and the staffs are always attentive and friendly. Water on the table was always topped up.

  I love it so much and went back later on to try more of their pizzas, and Gemma probably serves my favorite pizzas in town now! The prize isn’t that cheap but they do have daily discounts on certain food, as well as lunch set (RMB 108) I believe. The atmosphere is also worth mentioning. It’s pretty romantic with well interior design, yet casual with the open space and chilling music playing, which is perfect for a date like this!
