Just go!!! Food- pizza was deep dish and creative flavors(corn, weird and yes!). The carrots and dip was fresh. The asparagus Romesco( no nuts but sunflowers (instead) was maybe my fave. Each dish was well prepared and flavors super intentional. Drinks- our rose was the perfect color and so light and sweet. Service- everyone we interacted with was friendly, helpful, and bought into the vibe of Gemini. Vibes- almost like a European cafe, folks drinking wine and having pizza and small bites. Talking and casual and lovely. Signage- you go inside, wait on line and order your food and drinks. Then you will find a place for you to stand inside or sit outside. read more

so, i have mixed feelings about gemini. 1) ignoring everything else, the food is good. it's more creative than classic. the focaccia is incredibly soft and fluffy rather than your usually crispy, slightly denser texture. the watermelon salad was simple and refreshing and i liked the spiced dressing. the pastas also tasted great, not too in your face. we got the rigatoni and the strascinati, which was a good contrast of red and green. 2) the pricing is high for the portions and a bit ridiculous given they ask for tip at the counter, the lowest being 20%, when its not even a sit down place 3) the interior is small and you need to stand and also queue. this can make the wait longer than one would like, and you basically need to wait outside because theres no space inside. 4) the staff were slightly stoic and not the most friendly when we had questions / were confused by the concept. that being said this was a particular staff member, everyone else was friendly and i've been there many times when they were super nice. i get it. it's a small place, they want to be able to maximize revenue of the place, so they charge more and no seats = higher turnover. as a business, it makes sense. as a diner, it's an unpleasant experience. but at the end of the day, it works for a girl dinner, and that's what we had!!! read more

I came here for the ice cream only because this was a quick stop before getting my nails done, but also because their dining experience seems like a confusing organized mess. The cocoa crumble ice cream was divine, but unfortunately outdoor chairs are only available for those who order a meal inside which left me standing on the sidewalk eating my ice cream. The scooper let me try multiple flavors which was nice and there was not a long line for ice cream only a Wednesday evening. I would like to return once I figure out the food situation. read more

I don't normally love thick crust pizza but absolutely was obsessed with the sourdough pizza at Gemini. We went on a Friday night with a big group, so there was a line and we had to wait a bit for a space outside. If you have a bigger group, come with the expectation that you might have to cram a bit/have limited space at the tables for eating. The pizza was perfectly crispy but also had bounce with the sourdough filling, which I loved. We got 1/2 red with nduja, ricotta, cheese and honey + 1/2 white with mushroom and red onion. I loved the balance between both options and the cold burrata went really well with the hot crispy pizza. We ordered the whole grandpa pie - 6 slices for 6 people and it was honestly more than enough since these are dense slices! Need to come back next time to try the ice cream especially during the warmer season. read more

I normally come for ice cream, but I found occasion to order some special high-end butter from France, and having done so decided to go ahead and get some food here as well. In the midst of a polar vortex, I waited for my stuff inside. The pizza was a foccacia style. I got both their basic one and a fancier cheese with burrata and oregano. The oregano had both a strong taste and a strong aftertaste. It took me a couple of goes to finish it and left me feeling a bit bloated, but it was certainly quality. The butter was of a smoothness and pureness befitting the difficulty of acquiring it. This is a high-end place, both in price and in quality. I also picked up some ice cream, as it was not the best day for a scoop on site, but I'm sure I'll want it eventually. read more

The in-door ambiance was interesting because of the standing. My issue was that the people next to us would bump into us the entire meal because it is close quarters and the countertop was too tall so I had to hold my plate in my hand the entire meal to eat comfortably. We thought the food was good but overpriced. The pizza was more worth it for the price because it is a larger amount of food. The pizza had crispy edges and had a good serving of burrata on top and tasted good. The ice cream was the star of the show specifically the olive oil crumble ice cream. I recommend getting it in a cone because their cones are delicious, sort of a biscoff taste. I would come back just for the ice cream. The staff at the ice cream cart also let us sample every flavor and were very kind. The staff inside the restaurant were a bit rude to us as we were trying to navigate the restaurant. read more

This place is weird because there are actually no tables that you can sit at and the line is often so long that it wraps down the block. It's kind of like a Portlandia episode but the food was honestly really good. Highlights of the experience were the eggplant meatballs, which tasted nothing like eggplant and everything like real meatballs, any of the pastas and the cannoli was literally perfect. The service was really friendly and they answered lots of questions about the menu and we didn't feel rushed at all. I'd say it was worth a visit but just wish they had chairs! read more

Wow I've been so excited to try Gemini! There's been a lot of buzz around this restaurant's food, wine, and ice cream. I don't love that there's no seats, it's a bit of a free for all finding a place to dine indoors or outdoors without chairs or tables LOL. But we were able to snag the window sill, grabbed a few glasses of wine, an app, and some pasta. The service was helpful and friendly, and the food came out quickly. The recommendation on drinks was top notch, and the cherry tomato and tzatziki was INCREDIBLE! We shared the ferretti with sweet corn and guanciale and the fileja alla 'nduja with spicy salami ragu & pecorino calabrese. Both were incredible in their own right. I wish me had enough room to try the pizza and ice cream as well. I'll definitely be back in warmer months to sit outside, try the ice cream, and continue to explore this ever changing menu. read more

Gemini in DC was such a great dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious -- the pizza is truly unique, with creative flavor combinations (the white pizza was great!) that make it stand out, and the pasta was fantastic. Super fun flavors all around. The staff was wonderful as well: friendly, attentive, and added to the overall great vibe. The atmosphere itself is fun and lively without feeling overwhelming. Highly recommend ordering a half pizza and splitting a couple of pastas so you can try more of their amazing dishes. Definitely a spot I'd go back to! read more

(Review is of dinner service... they also have lunch!) Ok this place was delish and a vibe but there's a LOT to know about this spot... they have some unusual rules, and 100% arrive at 5:30 or even 5:15 if you want to sit down (takeout is also a great option). Everything I consumed was SO GOOD. The pizza was amazing, I had the most delicious Pinot noir, and the ice cream was quite good. Not my favorite in the area -- funky flavors and graham cracker-ish cones lol -- but still a tasty finish to a GREAT meal. The outdoor seating vibe is so cute and peak DC, in a nice little streetery near Dupont. OK, downsides... it's pretty classic-crazy-city overpriced. Our bill was $100 for a pizza, two glasses of wine, and ice cream. They also have some very weird rules: only parties of 2 can sit outside, indoors is standing room only, you can't eat pasta outside, you can't order just wine after 5pm, and you can't sit if you're just getting ice cream. It all came off as odd and anal, sorry to say lol I know the restaurant industry is tough in our city and I believe they're doing what they gotta do. But it is a little much as a diner. The staff were pretty nice about it all though... but they do enforce everything pretty hawkishly, fyi. Overall, I'll happily return despite the strange rule environment. I knew about it beforehand and made peace with it, and the food was SO good that it didn't ruin the experience for me. As long as you get there by 5:30 and want pizza, it should be a fairly normal, pleasant experience! read more

Cute place we stopped in DC for a low key lunch. We got some of the pizza slices - reg slice and one with burrata. Both delicious! They also had ice cream which we had hoped to come back later for. We would come again. Enjoy. read more

This ice cream has to be some of the best ice cream in the city. It is so creamy and the flavors are so complex! The rhubarb oat vanilla ice cream was perfectly sweet yet tangy... I am dreaming of it if I'm honest! The coffee was good too, but I think if I came back, I'd love to try more of their fruity based ice cream. Or the olive oil ice cream! This spot is open 4:30 to 8 and the line grows very fast! But we were fortunately first! It is $9 for two scoops which is a bit much, but honestly it is so worth it. I cannot wait to come back and try more of their unconventional flavors. read more

Gemini x Happy Ice Cream - Pasta - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I'm obsessed with this place. The pasta and pizza are super high quality and fresh. Loved the orecchiette with pork sausage ragu--it was just the right amount of spicy and a modest portion that let me enjoy the food without feeling stuffed afterwards. For pizza, get a kind with burrata or ricotta on top, they're excellent. The ice cream flavors are interesting and the rotation makes it exciting and special when a flavor that sounds especially good is available. Their hot cocoa is a thick European style that's like drinking melted chocolate. It comes with housemade marshmallows that have a little salty-sweet flavor going on. One of my favorite hot chocolates in DC! It looks like a small cup but it's so rich I don't think it would be wise to have more haha. Hours aren't great (closed Sunday) and standing room only inside. But they're serving special things here so it's worth it to me. read more

Gemini x Happy Ice Cream has amazing ice cream, wine and even butter! Only two complaints: no indoor seating and the food is pretty expensive. We loved their pasta, especially the tagliatelle and rigatoni, and I always end the night with their olive oil ice cream. They also sell Bordier butter - nothing beats it! Service is on point. Worth a visit. read more

This might just turn into my top 5 pizza spots in DC! I've had this place on my list for a while, but I thought the hype was around the ice cream, not so much pizza. Unfortunately, they close rather early (8:30pm). We decided to try our luck and make our way there. There was actually a wine event going on so of course we had to try a glass of wine as well. We decided to get - 1/2 red with 'nduja, ricotta, chilies & honey 1/2 plain vodka sauce - 5/5 Can I just say, I've never had a crust like this before in my entire life? The bottom was the perfect amount of crisp and the middle was fluffy, doughy, and squishy. The sauce was a tad bit spicy for my liking, but the bread/crust made up for it. The wine paired flawlessly with the pizza. It was a little sweet, but not too sweet which paired great with the spicy and tanginess of the sauce. Of course I just HAD to get the ice cream. The kind man let us in as the last people to get served even though they were basically closed. We got the Olive Oil ice cream. It was good, but it did seem a bit olive oily for our liking. I didn't expect it to be this potent. read more

The cons - Gelato by the scoop is only from open till 5pm. After 5pm, they do offer their gelato by the pints. It's a small space, but very cozy. It was difficult to get a table to dine in. You can order take out online but I believe that they stop taking care out orders at 5PM Pros - THE BEST PIZZA EVER. The vodka + pep and burrata was amazing. It is to die for. The crust was exceptionally crispy, dough was light and airy and sauce was FLAVOR. Honestly a perfect pie. Hats off to the chef. Customer service was also so friendly and helpful. Please do yourself a favor and try this lovely gem of an establishment. read more

I have been here twice: 1. At 2:30pm on a Friday, and 2. 5:45pm on a Friday, and those two times were different experiences. 5 stars for the food quality, but -1 for the overall experience (not very comfortable). Experience #1: At 2:30 on a Friday, my husband and I just walked in. There was no line. You can only have dessert or wines at this time, there were no pizzas or pasta dishes. We bought a pint of salted caramel ice cream (no scoops at this time) and ordered a brown butter cake that the ice cream went well with. We sat at one of Gemini's tables on the street to enjoy. Experience #2: At 5:45 on a Friday, there were two lines during the dinner hour: one for dinner and one for the ice cream cart outdoors. My husband and I joined the line for eating in. We waited while the line moved slowly. Once the tables fill up with the first "seating (standing?)", people aren't going to budge for at least 30-45 minutes. The line goes up to the counter for ordering, where you pay, and they'll give you a number. Indoors, you look for a high table to stand at (since there are no seats). We had a table by 6:30, so it was a 45 minute wait from the time we joined the line. You can browse the wines on the shelves while you wait, to think about which bottle you'd like to order. They will bring your wine/food to you, but they have water in pitchers and cups for self-service. The indoor tables are all shareable with other people, so it's not romantic. Good spot for friends and casual dates with a long-time partner. It is a bit cramped indoors. Families would prefer to eat their pizza at one of the outdoor tables. I do not know how you would order just pizza in this scenario, a different reviewer might give that information. My husband and I ordered two pasta dishes, and 1/2 a grandpa pizza pie, which is the perfect amount for two people and very filling. The pasta dishes came out quickly, within 10 minutes, and the pizza came a few minutes after we finished our pasta. The food was delicious, very flavorful. As for the pizza, I love the focaccia bread! Afterwards, we stood in the ice cream cart line, but then left the line after 10 minutes (we had a play to get to). I would say it takes about 2 minutes per customer group, since they allow for sampling, and they only have one person to scoop the ice cream. read more

I wish this spot had sit-down tables and took reservations! Despite the unconventional setup, I love Gemini. The pizza is incredible. My go-to order for a group of four is the mozzarella sticks and a whole pizza--half with vodka sauce, pepperoni, and burrata, and half featuring the seasonal special. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they have a great wine selection with knowledgeable recommendations. The ice cream is extremely overpriced but delicious. I've never tried the pasta because it's only served inside, where it's standing room only. read more

Omg, that ice cream! I had the milk chocolate with oatmeal cookie in it, and it was phenomenal. Service is a little brusque and the line is crazy, but I'd go back again and look forward to trying the pasta sometime. read more

Good food; pretty darn crowded; and kinda odd rules and set up for eating. All said, I would definitely come back. Starting with the food, we got the pizza and it was delicious. It's also a lot of food (the half pizza is more than enough for one person and you'll probably still have leftovers). But it comes with a price tag! Over $50 for the half pizza, a glass of wine, and the taxes and tip. Was a little shocked when they rang it up. Came here right around 5:30pm on a weekday and there was literally a line out the door. But still the line moves reasonably fast and we probably waited only about 15 minutes. (If you just want ice cream, there's a separate line outside for that). On the rules situation, it is odd that you can only order pasta if you are eating indoors but not outdoors. They're also pretty limited on seating in general (maybe five seated tables total and the rest is kinda a stand and eat at a table top or bar situation). I didn't mind eating at the table top, but some people might. read more

Gemini x Happy Ice Cream - Pepperoni burrata pizza - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We got here around 5:45 PM last Wednesday and the inside (a few standing areas to eat, no sitting tables) was already packed. To order, we had to wait in line and the server at the front will ring it all up. There is a small outdoor seating area (all pretty small, no more than 4 per table) but that meant we couldn't enjoy their pasta which is indoors only! The 3 of us shared an appetizer and two pizza halves (which are all Sicilian square style). EGGPLANT PARM ARANCINI - 11 Each order came with 3 arancini, which was filled generously with mozzarella, rice, and eggplant bits. Delicious, hearty, and crispy -- this was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I've never had them with eggplant before, so that was unique. WHOLE GRANDPA PIZZA - 30 +7 for 1/2 vodka with pepperoni & burrata I started with the vodka with pepperoni and burrata because I LOVE burrata. And indeed, it truly hit the spot. The pizza dough was thick with extremely crispy sides that wowed me. The initial crunch before the soft, slightly chewy landing for the rest of the bite was phenomenal. This is definitely a top pizza for me in the DMV. The burrata was smooth and creamy, and the pepperoni were savory. I did find this slice a bit greasy/oily, but the slice was so tasty and flavorful I didn't mind as much. Great slice, I'd definitely recommend! +6 for 1/2 red with 'Nduja, ricotta, chilies & honey I was kind of full after the first slice, but I knew I had to keep going to try the 'Nduja, ricotta, chilies & honey. 'Nduja (after a quick Google search) is an Italian spread made of pork sausage. The flavors were very deep with a nice sweetness that came from the honey. The chilies added a bit of a kick with every bite, and the ricotta's slight graininess was an interesting choice. Personally, I'll always pick burrata over ricotta for a creamy cheese topping. Overall, this was a very unique pizza option I don't see at most establishments. It was delicious and we'd highly recommend this one to try something you don't normally get! The food was phenomenal, but my only qualm is the seating. I understand it's meant to be more of a casual dining experience, but it was pretty uncomfortable and a tight squeeze for the three of us. I feel like getting the pizza takeout would not be as tasty, so I'd brave it out again in the future and enjoy the food within the establishment. My friends got ice cream at the Happy Ice Cream cart after dinner which is a classic move. Delicious ice cream with unique flavors, four to choose from each day. read more

The olive oil ice cream is delicious and absolutely worth waiting in line for (the cart outside). Everything inside the restaurant is absolutely not worth it and I would recommend passing. It's an insanely small interior and the outdoor seating space is extremely limited. The food is absurdly overpriced and not even good. We paid $28 for that tiny plate of mushy pesto gnocchi read more

I became OBSESSED with happy ice cream when stumbling across their ice cream cart during a neighborhood jog. The rotating daily flavors had me HOOKED & always coming back for more. Easily the best ice cream I've ever had (I still dream of the milk chocolate oatmeal cookie). The caramelized sourdough cones are a nice touch as well. The concept is so unique & cool with a small local neighborhood spot ambiance that I wanted to try their regular Happy Gemini food too! The pizza slice was yummy, the burrata definitely adds that extra touch to it. The cacio e pepe zeppole was something really unique, but more savory than expected. read more

This review is specifically for the ice cream cart (Happy Ice Cream)! I've now tried the cart twice. The first time was almost 2 years ago, and I had a more negative experience: customers weren't allowed to sample any flavors before buying, the honey and goat cheese ice cream (if I recall the flavor correctly!) was missing punch and had only a few drops of honey, and I left feeling that I was missing something about all the hype around this spot. I'm so glad that I went back this year to give them a second chance. This time was a complete 180: the guy running the cart was so friendly and happy to explain all the flavors, I was able to taste them before buying (which I'm grateful for because I thought I was getting the coconut cookies and cream and ended up despising the texture, whereas the olive oil and strawberry that I was planning to skip blew me away), and both the mix-ins and the scoop size felt generous. I got a double scoop of the Basque cheesecake and passionfruit as well as the olive oil gelato with strawberry. The former was solid, but personally I felt it leaned too much into the burnt taste at the top of a Basque cheesecake and not enough into the creamy richness underneath, and that charred flavor also overpowered the passion fruit. However, I admire how unique the flavor was and I did enjoy trying it a lot! I would give it a solid 3/5. The olive oil gelato was the star of the show. The fruitiness just worked perfectly with the strawberry, and the texture was so smooth and rich - a 5/5 flavor for me. Their cones are unique and a bit like Biscoff cookies. I am so glad to have gotten this one - I'll be back to buy a pint of their olive oil gelato in the future for sure! It was a hot day, and the great service and great ice cream was the perfect pick-me-up. Prices are high but broadly in line with other DC ice cream shops: $7 for a single and $9 for a double. Pints are where they start to get crazy at $15 each (but I do appreciate the quality ingredients they use). For context, they have 4 rotating flavors every evening that they're open. They change daily and you can find the exact line-out around noon on their Instagram. This selection is different from the flavors you can buy in the scoop shop inside, which can be browsed on their website. There is outdoor seating, but the indoors is cramped and generally reserved for those ordering off their dinner menu, so plan to grab and go if the weather isn't great. I am so glad to have this little cart putting out creative flavors so close to me, and I'll have to come back with friends to try more! read more

We stumbled on this cute spot on a walk through dupont and were excited to try it after seeing people drinking wine on the patio. We unfortunately had a very off-putting encounter with staff. This place seems to have an identity issue. It's a mix of a wine shop, ice cream parlor and restaurant but not a bar. We walked in to a confusing layout and were told just scan the qr code and order at the counter. After skimming the wine menu we picked out a bottle to share only to find out that we could only drink if we were dining. Which didn't make sense as there were people inside drinking solely wine at the counter. The staff member was very abrasive giving us an ultimatum of "you either buy a bottle to go or eat in if you want to drink". We offered to split a plate or two but she said that we would each have to have a full plate. We eventually left without feeling uneasy about our exchange. I totally understand this is a small business who likely needs to prioritize the food portion given the small space or it may be a licensing thing. I can't comment on the food or wine but service is a huge aspect of my experience and unfortunately wont be back. It may help in the future to warmly explain to your guests the set up when you have a multi-use space. read more

This is a review for the ice cream part only (never had their pizza or wine).

The olive oil was very delicious, I can see why it is a staple. The ube was very good as well, especially if you like banana. None of the food options inside jumped out at me. They did have some wine options I would like to come back and try. It was a bit crowded inside so I didn't have a chance to order. read more

Gemini is the product of a friend group that has one friend who's a good cook and the rest of the people have industry experience but don't really know how to run a restaurant. There are many weird rules, segmented hours, and insider knowledge you need to navigate Gemini. Unfortunately, about 75% of their ice cream is some of the best you can get in the city. Vanilla & oats with sourdough caramel is my favorite flavor of all time and the lemon sherbet was superb. Some of the chocolate flavors are a little weaker. I'm not a part of the Gemini cult, so I hadn't been since they moved scoops inside and unfortunately, the cashier during my visit was extremely condescending and rude about some of the (unspoken) rules of scoops inside vs scoops outside. If the ice cream wasn't so dang good, I wouldn't return to deal with the quirks (like no seating inside or pasta outside) and anxiety of asking the wrong question at the wrong time. The magician making ice cream in the back just keeps delivering and I have to try them all read more

Found this spot on IG and decided to give it a try during a 3-day trip to DC with a friend. We had dinner on Friday and were so pleased that we returned the next day. Service was great on both occasions, the team is super friendly and helpful with menu recommendations. Super cute interior with a good wine selection. We tried several appetisers and pastas (some not pictured), everything was absolutely delicious. The daily wine options by the glass were great as well. The pasta menu is only available for dine-in and there are no seated tables, unusual but we enjoyed the experience! Ended both meals with ice cream from the booth outdoors. Special shoutout to Eric; my friend had wanted to purchase some hot sauce to-go, we tried it with the pork gyros and it was really good - and Eric made it happen (we got the very last available bottle!). read more

Such a great ice cream shop! Stopped by for a couple scoops outside and they were so lovely. There flavors change daily and are fresh and creative Also it is really priced for their outdoor scoops. Two scoops with a cone is only $8. Went to the Malai a few days before and they charge me $10 for a "split scoop" no cone with a tip screen. read more

3.5 The vodka pizza was good, it had flavor and crisp. I wouldn't say it was good as something like Prince St Pizza in NY cuz I don't feel like the ingredient are as quality from the cheese to the sauce. They didn't feel as rich in flavor. I'd say it's one of better spots for pizza in dc though. The olive oil scoop was ok but I wouldn't get it again, not a fan of olive oil on ice cream. But the vanilla scoop was amazing with the cookie crumble. The staff were all smiles and friendly. They brought pizza out to me while I was getting scoop of ice cream. Nice clean environment and in a walking friendly neighborhood. read more

Only tried their ice cream (so far), and it was absolutely delicious! I tried dark chocolate (caramelized) and basque cheesecake (passion fruit swirl). The dark chocolate is SO good; it was richly deep but also complex and sweet due to the caramelization. It was very unique and amazing! Basque cheesecake was a combination of tangy refreshing fruit and salty crumbly texture. Very nice service. read more

My first time here was for ice cream. I do not remember the flavor but I remember it being very delicious. Once I found out they also had dinner, serving pizza and pasta, I was excited to try both. I ordered online for pickup and was disappointed by the meat options. Nevertheless, I got the pork sausage. Picking up was stress-free and very smooth with prompt service. Inside was cute but with only standing tables and no chairs, sadly. Unfortunately, for some reason, they do not allow customers to take the pasta leftovers, which deterred me from ordering it. Now, the pork sausage pizza could have tasted better for the price. It was extremely underwhelming, and surprising given all the wonderful reviews everywhere. Perhaps I will return to try the pasta and the ice cream again but definitely not the pizza. read more
