Real Italian Food

GEMELLI

JAMES STREET

Handmade with love

15 James Street, Fortitude Valley, QLD, 4006

Growing up in a family steeped in Italian traditions, we learned from an early age to cherish both fine cuisine and the art of preparing it.

Benvenuto!

At our James Street Restaurant, Gemelli simply translates from Italian as “twins,” reflecting our close-knit bond and shared culinary heritage. Growing up in a family steeped in Italian traditions, we learned from an early age to cherish both fine cuisine and the art of preparing it. From annual rituals like sauce and salami making with Nonno, to the simple joy of sharing wine with loved ones, our journey has always been fuelled by a deep passion for Italian food and culture.

Over the past 10 years we have brought fresh, authentic and true Italian cuisine to the GC and opened our 4th restaurant in James Street Brisbane in September 2021.
