Gemelli - Newport

We booked here for the first time last night (a Friday) they have a large room at the back which was being used by a family party, the main part of the restaurant was 2 thirds empty, that’s when the alarm bells should have rang,after all it was a Friday night. The staff in fairness were very good, but unfortunately that’s where the praises stop. Whilst we were waiting for our food the big party were getting served there’s. As we sat and waited, as quick as the party got there food it was getting sent back to the kitchen,mm we thought are they being over fussy..?? ??? Well then we got ours…there’s no other way to say it. The food was appalling.unless they sort this out very very very quickly we’ll have another empty restaurant..

We went for lunch today and what a lovely restaurant, it was done to a high standard and when it came out it looked great and tasted good and was a very good price, will defo go back. The young man was very helpful and nothing was too much for him. The music in the restaurant was nice and it was very relaxing when performed. We will revisit very soon!

Burgers are the best I've ever had! Service could be improved massively, but the food is just so good!

I visited this place today with my 6 friends for brunch at 12:00, upon recommendation from one of them. The place is very easy to find being Newport Retail Park, in Spytty, downstairs of Tesco’s Extra. You can park at Tesco’s for free up to 3 hours or park at the Retail Parl unlimited duration.the restaurant is fairly new opened approximately 3 months ago. It’s very big, spacious, tables are not crowded, it’s nicely and elegantly decorated in pretty blue colour. There’s a big bar at the entrance. There’s a nice golden trimmed sette at the entrance perfect for souvenirs photo before you leave. The place has a large conservatory that’s very bright and oversees the retail park and the road. The roof and the sides of it can be automatically lifted weather permitting . Staff are very attentive and friendly from owner Mr. Ghareeb, to waiter John and finally chef Roza. We immediately had free jugs of iced tap water followed by complimentary Turkish tea (Chai) in tiny Eastcan. We ordered Turkish breakfast £8, English breakfast £8.50 that came with complimentary fresh hot off the oven Turkish bread. The restaurant can cater for big parties and events with open buffet. I fully recommend visiting and I will definitely revisit. BTW, all meat is HALAL.

Excellent food, perfectly cooked and presented. Friendly staff and great service. Very clean and tidy restaurant. Nothing was rushed, simply but delicately presented.
