Gemma - (Near Dallas, TX)

5 /5 Ashish Aggarwal: The hype is real. Walk in and they greet you with warm raisin scones—fluffy, sweet little hugs slathered in incredible butter that’s creamy, rich, and basically dessert on its own

Those scones were SOOOO good, I could’ve made a meal of them

Don’t sleep on the fried Castelvetrano olives stuffed with Texas pecans. I dont even like olives and I kept throwing these down. Crispy, briny, nutty addiction in every bite Rabbit pappardelle is a signature for a reason. Was unsure given I havent had a ton of rabbit.. but wo Also outstanding was the hamachi crude.. brown butter trout The desserts were OK.. bit underwhelming. We didnt finish ours since they weren’t winning any awards.. not worth the calories! Shout out to our server Paige who was super attentive and a rockstar Overall, cozy vibe, sharp service, clear signal why this got the Michelin Bib. Solid neighborhood gem at its finest

4 /5 Joe Cannon: Gemma – 4.5⭐️ Had an excellent dinner at Gemma on Saturday. Our waiter, Anthony, was fantastic! Very friendly, attentive, and really added to the experience. The meal started with warm scones served with salted butter, and they were absolutely delicious. We tried the fried olives and pecans, burrata, and hamachi crudo. All were outstanding and full of fresh, clean flavor. I ordered the Filet au Poivre for my main course, and it was one of the best filet mignons I’ve had in Dallas. Perfectly cooked, tender, and served with great frites and creamed spinach. For dessert, we split an apple crisp and gianduja chocolate tart that were both good, though not the highlight compared to the rest of the meal. Overall, Gemma is a gem of a spot with great food, friendly service, and a cozy, elevated vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

5 /5 bradley voyles: Full but not overpacked on a Thursday night. The staff was attentive but not pushy or intrusive. Food was a pasta and scallop dish. Simple dishes prepared well and served comfortably. They comped an appetizer for my wife’s birthday. The breaded olives and pecans came to the table toasty and tasty. Everyone was welcoming. Price was reasonable for quality, service & atmosphere.

5 /5 dchevron77: Amazing! The atmosphere is top notch and romantic. Looking around, not a lot of phones out, just people talking to one another as it should be. Jeremy was our server and he was one of the best waiters weve ever had. He was funny, explained a lot of the dishes in an easy to digest manner, and gave great recommendations. The food was top notch. On par with some michelin starred places. We will absolutely be back. Do yourself a favor and book a reservation here.

4 /5 Carmen Augusto: We stopped by Gemma without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised at how quickly we were seated. The restaurant has a charming outdoor patio that adds to the cozy atmosphere. For starters, we ordered the Heirloom Beets. Personally, I wasn’t a fan of the mint finish,. For mains, I tried the Sakura Pork Secreto — it was just okay and not something I’d order again. My partner, however, had the Grass-Fed Bavette Steak and it was excellent — tender, flavorful, and absolutely worth coming back for. The real highlight was dessert. We shared the Crème Brûlée with vegan coconut ice cream, and it was out of this world — creamy, decadent, and perfectly balanced. A must-try! On top of the food, the service stood out. I have a dairy sensitivity, and our server was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating with my dietary needs, which made the experience even better. Overall, Gemma delivers a wonderful dining experience with standout dishes (especially the steak and dessert) and warm, attentive service. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Dallas!
