Bonne pizzeria, rien de fou. Salade de pieuvre manque... de pieuvre justement. Service plutôt bon

I have rarely received such passionate, honest & love filled service! A huge thank you for this young librarian with her contagious smile & her solar energy �💛 & a huge congratulations to the chef because it's hands down the best pizza in Montreal (sorry forgot to take picture of the pizzas) 🤤😍

Borderline pizza quality Sparkling wine served too warm 2 pizzas, 1 bottle of average quality wine, 2 small ice cream dessert, 180$ including service (15%). A TOTAL RIPOFF.

Was there in July 2017, party of 2. Ordered drinks, wine, appetizers & entrees & desserts. Cocktails were the high note. Food is made up of high quality ingredients. There is just not enough of them in every dished. Barely no octopus in the octopus salad. Barely no mozzarella di buffala on our pizza (literally had to look for it). Same for every serving

Was there early in the evening - no rush. The servers didn't even inform us of items not on the regular menu. Seated outside, there was no way to find out.

We like Stefano quite a bit but were very disappointed this time. There are many other "higher" end pizzerias in Montreal. Will not be coming back here

Très déçu. Les calamari était très tendre mais pas crousiant. La salade verte avec radis melon d'eau n'avait aucun goût. La pizza tomate, di Buffalo (prèsque pas de fromage) était brulé.
Je ne retournera jamais & je le recommander pas du tout. Il y a beaucoup de resto dans la petit Italie qu'il font une très meilleur pizza.
C'est dommage.l

Nous sommes allés manger dimanche le 7 février 2016. L'accueil est correct & le service fut très adéquat. Les deux serveuses sont attentives & diligentes.

Au niveau de la nourriture, on constate que la qualité des ingrédients semble au rendez-vous. Toutefois, la pizza est servie presque dénudée d'ingrédients. C'est nettement insuffisant. Surtout à un prix moyen de $17-18 pour une pizza. La croûte est bonne sans plus. Nous avions observé la même chose chez Impasto. La quantité servie pour le prix est plus que questionnable. Le profit semble prendre le pas sur l'expérience culinaire. Pourtant...

Tant qu'à l'espace physique du restaurant Gema, c'est minimaliste & sans chaleur. Très bruyant également. Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant tant pour la nourriture que pour l'endroit. Le rapport goût & quatité prix est faible. Nous voyageons beaucoup & connaissons de très bonnes pizzérias avec ingrédients maisons. Pour le moment, Gema est loin du compte.

Having seen Stefano Faita's cooking show on CBC & now co-owner of Gema, I had high hopes for this restaurant. Unfortunately, I left very disappointed.
This is why...
Being a foodie, I've tasted quite a few of the top restaurants in Montreal, & always looking into exploring good food in Montreal. Gema's meals tasted quite ordinary, nothing extraordinary or tastier than most Italian restaurants I've been to. Which are quite a few!

The pizza I had, was just "Ok" Yes, I ordered a tomato & cheese pizza.Nothing fancy about this. Which the pizza on the menu is called "1889" The crust was crusty & well cooked. Great! The cheese, well.. I'm still looking for it. I'm not a fan of greasy super cheesy pizzas, but I'm also not a fan of pizzas that are mostly tomato sauce with little to no flavour & I have to search for the cheese. Mine only had four spots of cheese throughout the entire pizza. Along with three very fresh & tasty basil leaves, yet only three. On the menu, it said the cheese is Quebec Mozzarella di Bufala(Buffalo Mozzarella)Wonderful, I love local products! The taste was not creamy, or silky as it should be. Instead it was overcooked & crispy. The little bit of cheese that I was able to taste. All this for $13.00
The service was Ok. Not bad or anything to very happy with. Simply just Ok.

The siting chairs, that was my biggest issue of the entire restaurant. When you pay $50+ for a meal, you'd expect something better than the very simple metal chairs you often see in school gyms. Yes, they fit with their theme of the decor, yet I cannot believe they never thought about comfort. These chairs are flat, no cushion or a nice back rest. Much less an arm rest. Just a simple piece of metal shaped into a chair. After 30 minutes, I was past the level of discomfort. The chair was simply unbearable. Yet, I couldn't leave in the middle of my dinner. Out of respect for my guests.
Now onto their desserts. Overall not a large or impressive variety. Yes, they are known for their "custard" ice cream($5.00) with different sauces($1.50) extra each. Their ice cream had a lovely vanilla bean flavour, & not too sweet. I chose chocolate sauce as an extra, I only received a very small drizzle. Disappointing again! Their ice cream, well nothing out of the ordinary from a texture of a soft serve ice cream, except that it's more flavorful.
The waitress specified that we received a child size portion at a discounted price. Thank-you! (I did not order that size!) due to the small amount of ice cream they had. The discount, was only 20 cents! A discount not even worth mentioning after paying in total of $50+ for the entire night.

Overall very disappointing. I will think twice whether to give it a second chance or to return at all.
