Wonderful meal and lovely experience at Gemma Pizzeria!
This place is a real âgemâ, offering fresh, well-prepared food and drinks with friendly staff and a great atmosphere.
Located on a lovely side street close to Place de Bastille and close to the Seine river, this is a popular place to have drinks with locals and enjoy a meal. The pizzas are made to order, really good and their pastas are perfect too. The beers on draft are cold and crisp and their wine selection is wide-ranging.
Joaquim gave stellar table service, and Ghazi was quick behind the bar; both these guys deserve real praise, very professional. All the staff are kind, respectful and attentive, and they speak many languages including French, Italian, English, Spanish and Arabic.

Highly recommended for both the food and the exceptional service. A real gem...

Just the right blend of acidity and bursts of flavor from the sun. All the ingredients from the sausage to the cheese top. The "café gourmand" also highly recommended for dessert, the...
