Amazing food. So excited for my Thanksgiving order! Turkey is amazing as I sampled it when I ordered the Big Gobbler sandwich! All the employees are friendly and make the atmosphere welcoming! If you haven’t been here yet you must go!

First time going here today, and will not be the last. What a pleasure. The sandwich and the salad were so fresh and so nicely put together we really enjoyed it. Staff is A+, friendly. So very glad you moved into our village! Very clean and well kept. Highly recommend.

I grabbed a pick up order for me and my boys, we got the Po Boy, Polar Bear, Brisky, and the Smoke Up. Five sandwiches took less than thirty minutes, mind you. This is by far the best lunch we’ve had in a while. I kid you not, I got the Po Boy, I have tried authentic New Orleans Po Boys before, and I swear on everything I have, that this sandwich is actually BETTER than the real thing. AFTER ONE BITE, I can say with confidence that the shrimp was perfectly cooked, the sauce coats everything with PRECISION, not too much, but plenty to get a burst of flavor in every bite. I couldn’t praise this place more. The staff are also some of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, each of them greet you with a smile that tells you that you’re about to have a really freaking good day. Normally, $16 for a sandwich isn’t something I would pay for, but Gemelli’s is the exception, I would GLADLY take every cent i have for another sandwich from here. 5/5 stars aren’t enough to truly grasp how good this place is.

This gourmet deli is an absolute standout! From the moment you walk through the door, you’re met with a warm, inviting atmosphere and a team of genuinely friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Their passion for great food and great service is obvious from the start. The menu is a dream for anyone who loves fresh, high-quality ingredients. The sandwiches are expertly crafted with thoughtfully chosen combinations—think artisan breads, premium meats and cheeses, house-made spreads, and crisp, vibrant veggies. Each bite is bursting with flavor and feels like it was made just for you. The salads are just as impressive—fresh, colorful, and perfectly balanced with bold flavors and just the right amount of creativity. The deli itself is spotless and inviting. Clean counters, a well-organized display, and a cozy, modern atmosphere make it a pleasure to dine in or grab something to go. You can tell this place is run with care and attention to detail. Highly, highly recommend. Whether you're a sandwich connoisseur or just need a quick, satisfying lunch, this Italian deli hits the mark every time. A new local favorite!

Catered food for a party, everything was delicious, guests kept asking where we ordered from and were getting seconds and thirds! The trays were large and filled to the top, an amazing deal for the already great pricing! Will definitely use them for another party in the future!!

What an amazing gem of a deli! Went to Gemellis in Lindenhurst with my daughter and can’t stop thinking about it. From the staff who took care of my daughter and humored all her questions to the amazing food I can’t wait to go back here again. We ordered the Chicken Caesar Wrap which was exactly what I dream of when I want a Caesar Wrap and the standout was the Scarpariello hero which had the perfect blend of sweet and spice to make for the sandwich of the year for me.

I had a craving for a thanksgiving sandwich and I've been on the hunt for a new spot since my favorite closed. I saw this deli online and asked in the comments if they had a thanksgiving sandwich. They responded "yes, the big gobbler" so off I was to check it out. The space: this deli is super clean and well organized. They also have a fresh salad bar where you can get custom salads. They also have ready made salads prepared for convenience. The guys behind the counter were super nice. They also offered me to sample one of their hot soups while I waited. I tried their sweet potato curry which was really nice. Now let's get to the gobbler. I tried it exactly how they make it without any alterations because I wanted to see what their combo was about. I will be back but I'm making a couple changes. I tried the sandwich hot (which is how they serve it) and cold. Hot it was okay, but | really like it cold. Cold I feel like I can taste the combo of all the flavors better. So I definitely will come back the next time I'm in the mood for a sandwich. The Deli also shares space with an ice cream shop, so you can always grab some dessert on your way out. There is street parking in the area. You have to pay a meter, but it's only 25¢ for a whole hour.
