A lucky find by chance. We wanted Italian cuisine, instead of the brewery food we had for the last two days. Their pasta is homemade every day, which lead to our decision to try it, and it was a great decision. The lasagna was delicious, it had a great flavor, and served with a flavorful vodka sauce. The pasta ala vodka was very good, the portion was large, with a large ball of burrata cheese on top. The side salad with a roasted garlic vinegerett was larger than expected, it was very fresh with heirloom tomatoes and shaved carrots. The tiramisu – one of the best ever we’ve had, and we’ve had a lot of them. Our server, Michael, was pleasant and attentive. Don’t let the location in a strip center stop you from enjoying this excellent restaurant. Price is very fair, comparable to any Italian restaurant. Atmosphere was very pleasant, quiet, very easy to converse. Highly recommend this venue.

Myself and the family tried a nice Italian restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina. I had the Calabrian Scampi which was good. The wife had the Ragu which was just ok. The daughter had the Burrata Alla Vodka with chicken added. All of us sampled it and loved it. I ordered the Fall Fashioned which was actually good for a none bourbon drinker. The wife ordered the Amalfi Agave and she said it is just ok. (It has a strong lemon flavor). We ordered the ciabatta bread which was a bit hard.

My Fiance & I did Chef Cerratos’ (father & son) Feast of the Seven Fishes pre fixe dinner on the 23rd of December. OH MY GOLLY! We agreed that the primo piatto squid ink spaghetti with shrimp & octopus in a cream sauce (garnished with fennel micro greens!) was the best pasta either of us had ever eaten. Without going into detail on each course, every one was outstanding.
Cannot wait for Gemelli’s new location (across from the Bohemian Hotel) to open.
Viva Gemellis!

The interior and atmosphere were pleasant, and the service was good.
We ordered the shrimp spaghetti and the risotto with branzino. The pasta was much too spicy, and the risotto had far too many olives and capers. The fish itself was fine, but the arugula served with the risotto was drenched in vinegar — sour like sorrel.
The pistachio cheesecake with jam was also disappointing and not tasty at all.

Very impressive, food was outstanding. Wife, daughter, sister in-law all had a wonderful time. Arancini, steak with potatoes and arugula just incredible. I think our server name was drew her and her assistant were great. Will def. spread the word. Thank you will see you soon

Went to Gemelli recently for the first time. Thought everything was very good. Our server Cassidy was exceptional. Very friendly and recommendations were perfect. Good variety of selections. We started with the mussels – delicious. My wife had the ravioli and I had the Ragu, both dishes were top notch. Will definitely return.

Fresh pasta unlike anything in Asheville. Excellent atmosphere, service and food. A special place for our date night. I highly recommend Gemelli.

Got take out for the first time.. The food was very SPICY. I was so disappointed… nowhere on the online menu does it specify that the dishes are spicy. $60 for 2 dishes that were so spicy I couldn’t eat them. I dont understand why you would do that to a pasta dish. Basic ragu pasta was so spicy. The gemelli pasta also super spicy. Chef ruins the food with too much chilli flakes.

I had had an absolutely horrible week and was filled with loathing the human species, So my husband decided that we should have a good meal. The food at Gemelli was so good that I literally felt better about humanity at the end of the meal. My truffle risotto was one of the best dishes I’ve ever been served and their Gemelli pasta was perfection. I look forward to working my way through their menu.
