Our Story

Embark on a Culinary Journey

When Chef Love first stood on the balcony of Gemelle, he was transported back to the cobblestone streets of Ravello, Italy. Overcome with memories of light, vibrant food accompanied by stunning views of azure waters and the sounds of street musicians strumming guitars, he decided to recreate all of it—from the food, to the music, to the spirit.

A Love Letter to Coastal Italy

Inspired by a sun-drenched journey to the Mediterranean with his family, Gemelle is a heartfelt homage to Love’s adoration for Italian cuisine. He chose the name, which means ‘twins,’ for his daughters Ella and Anna — the perfect nod to his favorite things: food and family.
