The Perfect Brunch Spot at Gemelli Italian Fortitude Valley

Looking for the ideal brunch destination in Fortitude Valley? You’ve found your destination at Gemelli Italian on James Street, Fortitude Valley. This is our fourth location since we opened our first Italian restaurant on the Gold Coast, and brings the same authentic Italian flavours and love of our craft.

Early Starts

Starting July 1st, we’ve expanded our hours to welcome guests from 11:30am on weekdays. This change offers more opportunities to enjoy our delectable brunch and lunch menus. Weekday lunches are served from 11:30am to 3pm, featuring a variety of options for every size of appetite.

Light and Satisfying 

For a light yet satisfying start, our weekday lunch menu offers delicious snacks and small plates. Try our Gnocco Fritto, filled with whipped ricotta and topped with prosciutto and parmesan, or the Tartare di Manzo, a delightful eye fillet tartare with roasted baby leek, capers, egg yolk and Sardinian flatbread. Chargrilled Broccolini with smoked almonds, buffalo Stracciatella and Fritto Misto featuring shallow-fried baby calamari, prawns and zucchini are other favourites.

Something More Substantial

If you’re in the mood for something heartier, our mains menu is where it’s at. Savour the Pollo Alla Griglia, a grilled chicken breast served with radicchio and rocket salad, or the Pesce del Giorno, featuring NT Barramundi and tossed green vegetables. The Calamari Grigliati, QLD calamari grilled with chilli, garlic, and capers, paired with a radicchio and walnut salad, and the Bistecca, a 250g Riverina Black Angus ribeye served with fries and rocket salad, are also popular choices. And don’t forget to leave room for our delightful desserts.

The Weekend Has Come

On weekends, our lunch menu expands to offer even more choices, including a variety of mains and our signature wood-fired pizzas. This ensures that your brunch experience is as diverse and satisfying as possible, whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor.
