Reviews for Gemelli Fine Foods in Babylon, NY
Before I visit transplanted family upstate, I always need to stock up at Gemellis.
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 2sandwiches made. There was no line. It was just the speed at which the sandwiches were made was shocking LOL. Not typical forthe northeast. Read more
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 beenrefrigerated. They squashed my rice balls into a container and I found 2 of the 4 broken. They were out of Italian bread and itwas 3 pm on a Saturday! But perhaps the worst part was the staff - unfriendly, disinterested and rude. This is not what youexpect in a ?specialty? store. Very disappointing. Don?t waste your time?and money. Read more
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. Thanksfor the quality customer service. Wanted to come back. Def not now. And my girlfriends sand which was missing lettuce andtomato. And put cheese on which she didn?t want. Cuz she is lactose intolerant. I should?ve told earring guy that. But if hedidn?t care enough about the garlic bread. Imma not care about this. Cuz he would?ve just said sand which already made like hedid with me. O best part icing on cake he slammed the hero?s on the counter. Thanks bro. Maybe you shouldn?t have. So manyearrings maybe you?d be nicer. Edit: changed review to one star. Because owner clearly saw this review. Because he responded toanother one literally hours after this was posted. Glad to see customer service is key here. Read more
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 homeand realized the sticker was covering another sticker, which expired. Sorry, this is seafood and I don?t need my family sick. SoI?m out $13. Lesson learned I guess, you really have to scrutinize prepared food expiration dates more... Read more
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 yourbudget. Read more
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 cutmeats (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 getwhat you pay for - quality & fresh food. Read more
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.. Iwould never expect this from a well known italian pork store. Maybe if I ordered this sandwich in a jewish deli I would haveexpected this. Before this happened I actually considered this place to cater an event...NO THANK YOU! Read more
