"Yesterday I went to Gemellis Italy for the first time. It was a Friday and in the middle of lunch, but I wanted to see how the place was running. Gemelli 's is a market specialized in Italian and Italian American products. The first thing I saw was that it was very busy, which is always a good sign. At my right there were cold cases with deserts, Italian imported cheese (and some American brands such as Auriccio), as well as imported and American-made cold cuts such as Prosciutto di Parma, Capiccola, Salamis, etc. On the wall there was a huge menu with hot and cold Italian style sandwiches and salads. Left, a mini-mart, with a wall-to-wall selection of both imported and American made Italian products such as olives, olive oil, canned tomatoes, dry pastas, candy, etc. There were wine displays with bottles of Italian red, white and prosseccos. Behind me, cold cases with freshly made pastas and frozen Italian soups and main dishes. I was impressed by the variety of products, but found the prices a little steep since (with the exception of the wines that were all Italian), many of the products were not super high-end national brands or Italian imports. It was lunch time, so I wanted to try one of their sandwiches (one of my most beautiful memories of my years living in New York City was to go to the Italian markets in Carmine Street and surroundings and get a Parmigiana sandwich on Krustenbrot), so I went for the parmigiana di melanzane (Eggplantate parmigiana). Unfortunately, the sandwich did not live on my expectations: the eggplant inside was muddy, somewhat bitter and did not seem the traditional eggplant in Pastella (lightly baked and fried) but more like roasted and chopped; the marinara sauce was almost not present, and there were some cheeses that were not mozzarella, but provolone (which was good). The bread was fresh and crusty, and it was the most delicious part of the sandwich. I also chose a can of Sicilian lemon drink that tasted too much like citric acid. The service was polite and efficient; it reminded me of the service in the grocery stores in Rome, where you order first, and then pay a centralized cash register. Overall, I give Gemelli Market it 's stars for the variety of their products, and for the efficient and friendly service I was given, but I will have to visit another time, and try some of the other sandwiches they offer."

"Best pizza dough I’ve ever had! I read an article where this place won #4 best pizza in the nation and I was surprised to see that this was in Maryland close to where I grew up. I arrived at 4:45pm to line up on a Saturday before they opened at 5pm and there was already a lot of people in front of me. We ended up waiting 1.5 hours before we got seated for table of 2. I would never usually wait for a pizza place like this but wow to my surprise the pizza dough was so good! I recently traveled around Italy and I couldn’t find pizza that was better than this place. I can’t wait to come here again but it’s just so difficult to get a table and they don’t do reservations. The ambiance in the restaurant is cozy. They have a nice full bodied red wine that goes well with the pizza! Happy my friends just bought a house really close by so when I visit them I will get this pizza! I wish they opened on Sundays though, would be perfect for football Sunday."

"This McDs franchise is clean and quick to deliver curbside. The crew is typically friendly and friendly. My only complaint is that it is not the simplest restaurant. If you are planning either the drive though or board pickup, then just go out of Darnestown Rd Eastbound."

"Had a wonderful time celebrating a friend's birthday here the other day. We had pretty good service considering we were a party of 20. Bread came out quickly, slightly slower on the drinks. Wine glasses were kept filled after the until order, and was no longer an issue. Pizza, calamari, and salads were served at a good pace. Their white pizza was especially good. Had the shrimp and scallop fra diavolo and was fresh and bright. 5/5 will be back to my local Italian eatery!"

"This is our Thai place. Since we used them for a few times a month. They're always fast. They serve good portions. The food is great. Everyone in our house has different tastes, and I can say from spring rolls to the drunk noodles, everything is excellent."
