"My partner and I ate here last night. Wow, wow, wow. I just don't know why this place is not packed out every night? Italian food, well cooked by someone who is genuinely proud of what he produces. From the moment we walked through the...door the atmosphere was relaxed. The service was welcoming and warm, I felt like I was walking into somebodies home. The menu has pasta dishes as well as chicken and seafood. My partner and I shared an antipasti starter and then had chicken with mushrooms and breaded chicken. Both dishes were served with a slice of garlic bread and the most wonderful Italian frittata. The chicken on both dishes was tender and perfectly cooked. For desert we shared a chocolate and raspberry tart. The chocolate was dense and creamy with the raspberry pieces tangy and sharp. All perfectly balanced with a good bitter espresso on the side. This place looks like a coffee shop from the outside which may make people think this is not a fully fledged restaurant. The staff are friendly and really know about what they cook. The wine list is perfect and not too expensive. Try the Sicilian beer too. Don't hesitate, take the plunge book a table you will not be disappointed."

"This review is to express my utmost satisfaction and to commend the exceptional dining experience I recently had at Gem 42 restaurant in Newport. I have been fortunate enough to dine at several Michelin-starred restaurants across the country. However, my experience at Gem 42 was truly outstanding, from the moment I walked through the door, I was genuinely impressed by the warm and cordial welcome extended to me by the staff. Their professionalism and attentiveness throughout the evening enhanced every aspect of the dining experience. What truly set Gem 42 apart was the exceptional quality of their food, which seamlessly combined locally sourced produce with an enticing Italian twist. Each dish was meticulously prepared and presented, demonstrating the chef's dedication to culinary perfection. The exquisite flavours and creative combinations showcased the immense talent and skill of the kitchen team. It was evident that the restaurant's ethos resonated with the increasingly discerning expectations of modern diners, seeking an harmonious blend of culinary excellence and environmental responsibility. well done Gem42. Parking: there is free street parking , but also 3 paid car park in 3 min walking distance."

"We met up this morning for breakfast as a group of ten semi retired women. Table booked for 10a.m. We sat down at our table at 10.30 and ordered tea/coffee which arrived approximately 30 minutes later. We ordered our meals and my order arrived first at 11.45. My colleague who sat next to me ordered poached egg on toast which arrived last in our group at 12.45. Even though some breakfast meals were quite nice the service was really slow . There wasn't anyone else there so they were not rushed off their feet. Disappointed with the service. apparently the kitchen had run out of salmon for one of the meals was one excuse. Won't be going there again."

"situated inside a large Tesco Extra superstore Gemelli comes with Strange decour that doesn't fit an Italian restaurant. It's more like a gastro pub,, with tables housed in booths on benches . Food menu is ok, fairly basic yet standard, but my gripe is that the vegetarian options are poor and seem to be the meat removed for most dishes, rather than a dedicated veggie plate. Disappointed my caprese salad came without the traditional sweet basil, yet would have accepted a variation of this simple dish, yet what I had was no dressing or seasoning making it extremely bland. No olives either. Just mozzarella, lettuce and tomatoes. This is a basic dish to get wrong. No olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or even black pepper and salt were present on the tables.Overall a very bland experience."

"Popped in here whilst travelling through the area because there was a sign outside that they were dog friendly, had such a great experience that we will now be using this place as a destination in future. Lots of lovely little touches that made our visit great, such as being seated and our dog immediately being given a bowl of water. Then when out drinks were brought out they also brought out a bowl of chicken for our four legged best friend (they checked first) When we settled the bill, we were pleasantly surprised with low the bill was less than £15 for two drinks, two cakes and a bowl of chicken for the dog! Everybody who worked there was smiling and a pleasure to speak with. If you're thinking of visiting this place, please do! Such a lovely little gem! Dog friendly, dog friendly cafe, afternoon tea, afternoon tea dog friendly, well priced Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options Kid friendliness: Very friendly"
