Gemma is an absolutely gorgeous restaurant inside the Bowery Hotel. Come here when you want to impress someone.

The portions are on the smaller side, so this is the perfect time to order a bunch of stuff to share. We had three people eat all the food below and it was the perfect amount.

If I had to pick something that wasn’t very impressive, it would be the watercress salad. Otherwise, everything was delicious.

Save room for dessert, because that nutella calzone was insane. Perfect to share. If you’re dining alone, and you order this?….well, even I would give you the “fatty” side-eye and pass some judgment. Sorry, I would. It’s that big. And I’m kinda mean like that.

I would definitely come here for dinner and skip brunch, it’s just too pretty here, at night, to miss.
