    I’ve shopped here for years, and it kills me to leave a 2-star review. Shame on me though for not checking the product closer. I picked up clam sauce, figured an easy meal. Based on the handwritten date I still had 2 days to reheat. That is until I got home and realized the sticker was covering another sticker, which expired. Sorry, this is seafood and I don’t need my family sick. So I’m out $13. Lesson learned I guess, you really have to scrutinize prepared food expiration dates more...

    Whent to a doctor visit, and asked the nurse for a good place to eat. She recommended Gemelli, I've been to many Italian food places, however this one was over the top,I loved their selection and the service was great, and the food was very good. Can't wait to go back for my next doctor's appointment so I can visit Gemelli again.

    It had been at least 10 years since I shopped here because I no longer live near by but I found myself in Babylon and decided to bring some things home. This place has definitely changed and not for the better. The “fresh mozzarella” had apparently been refrigerated. They squashed my rice balls into a container and I found 2 of the 4 broken. They were out of Italian bread and it was 3 pm on a Saturday! But perhaps the worst part was the staff - unfriendly, disinterested and rude. This is not what you expect in a “specialty” store. Very disappointing. Don’t waste your time…and money.

    Ordered a hero with Fresh Mozzarella, Prosciutto, Pesto and Tomato. When I got home and looked at the hero, I was given rolled mozzarella cheese that had prosciutto in it. I am asuuming the counter guy was lazy and did not want to cut the prosciutto.. I would never expect this from a well known italian pork store. Maybe if I ordered this sandwich in a jewish deli I would have expected this. Before this happened I actually considered this place to cater an event...NO THANK YOU!

    Are you kidding? $12.99 + tax for 3 slices of roast beef thinly sliced on a roll? Should be ashamed. As a Babylon village resident, this will be the last time I go here.

    Great Sauce makes their lasagna, veal and chicken parmigiana so tasty! Serious beef, pork and chicken butcher shop with cooked appetizers, sides, pies, antipasti: G-O-O-D! And the best Italian bread choices around. Without hesitation, one of the Top Three Italian markets in Suffolk County.

    Put a catering order in and spent over $500 and I was surprised no bread was provided with my order. The guy made me pay a extra $3 for a Italian bread after paying $500 in cash 🤣 also paid cash and no discount. Dissapointed but after scrolling through their reviews seems like this is a issue with multiple reviews, thats a bad customer service model, don't think a couple of loaves of bread with a $500 order would be a big deal🤷‍♂️ I would recommend Mama's in Copiague as they give a 10% discount if paying with cash and with your catering order they provide loads of garlic knots and bread with your order at no extra charge.

    0 stars if possible. We paid almost $15 each for these. Tiny portions high prices. My hero isnt even covered. Dont go here. Will never go back. You seriously call yourselfs Italian?

    Love Gemelli, especially their catering. They are our go-to for heroes and salads. Their Gemelli fresh sliced turkey is delicious. Customer service is great, too! We always get compliments!!

    Before I visit transplanted family upstate, I always need to stock up at Gemellis.

    Very disappointed we ordered over $400 worth of catered food several trays. The food tasted horrible everyone Christmas Eve was complaining including myself. The chicken parmesan was just chunks of chicken thrown in a pan with sauce and mozzarella as if the whole thing was rushed It was not like traditional chicken parmesan with clean pieces of breaded chicken done with care with mozzarella and sauce. And the overall taste didn't even taste good. The sausage and peppers didn't taste good at all The sausage tasted like they were microwaved with that funny aftertaste. The other trays of food that we ordered didn't taste good either not going to go on. We've always had catered food from other places never where we this disappointed. I hate to give them a bad review but I'm sure I'm not going to be the only one since I heard they had several hundred orders. I would never go back there again. I understand they may have been really busy but not acceptable. If I had a guess maybe they had a bunch of kids pitching in to throw the stuff together quickly that's how bad it tasted. I'm curious if others will chime in

    Wanted to give it a 4. The photos and reviews looked so good so we decided to stop here to get lunch on our way to the beach. Huge portions and delicious sandwich but the service was ridiculously slow. No joke, probably waited 20+ minutes to have 2 sandwiches made. There was no line. It was just the speed at which the sandwiches were made was shocking LOL. Not typical for the northeast.

    Everything I tried tasted bad. I paid around $20 for lunch and threw most of it out.

    The best Italian speciality store out there! I love Maria’s new creations that she makes daily, especially her mozzarella in carrozza!

    My go to place for lunch, catering, etc. only compliant I have is that after months of informing the staff that every Monday that they are sold out of diet soda they have failed to correct the situation. If your sold out every Monday shouldn’t you order more so it does not happen? Only writing this out of frustration as a good customer.

    Fresh homemade... awesome...Everything was delicious...hard to make a decision on what to buy...

  • 5/5 Jackie V. 3 years ago on Google
    I can't say enough about this deli/butcher/Italian specialties store. Absolutely LOVE everything they offer. You will find an array of fresh salads and other prepared foods made daily, most served by the pound or piece. Olives. Fresh mozzarella. Delicious deli sandwiches using Boar's Head products. A variety of freshly made breads & rolls. Marinated (& non) butcher cut meats (steaks, chops, Bell & Evan's chicken, shrimp, pork, etc). Fresh produce, small freezer section with homemade pasta & sauces. Grab & go dinners. Italian specialties such as balsamic vinegars, cookies, etc. Things can be a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for - quality & fresh food.

    Sandwich was good. But honestly. The way earring guy treated us. Was honestly disgusting. I found out they had Garlic bread. I asked earring guy for that he’s like no. I’m like. O ok. He’s snapped back and goes. Your sandwich is already made. Ok. Thanks for the quality customer service. Wanted to come back. Def not now. And my girlfriends sand which was missing lettuce and tomato. And put cheese on which she didn’t want. Cuz she is lactose intolerant. I should’ve told earring guy that. But if he didn’t care enough about the garlic bread. Imma not care about this. Cuz he would’ve just said sand which already made like he did with me. O best part icing on cake he slammed the hero’s on the counter. Thanks bro. Maybe you shouldn’t have. So many earrings maybe you’d be nicer. Edit: changed review to one star. Because owner clearly saw this review. Because he responded to another one literally hours after this was posted. Glad to see customer service is key here.

    It's like walking though my Sicilian grandmother's pantry filled with Italian delicacies and staples. Breads, meats and prepared foods are exceptional. Even has produce making it a one-stop shopping experience for a meal. I dare you not to overspend your budget.
