Are you looking for an exciting new restaurant in Fort Worth to spend your weekends watching the TCU football games? Well, Gemelle is the perfect Euro-American restaurant to hang out with your friends while eating delicious homemade pasta and pizza. The restaurant opened on May 29th, but it is slowly becoming a Fort Worth favorite after TCU students have returned for the Fall semester.
The owner and chef of Gemelle, Chef Tim Love, is famous in the Fort Worth area for his skillful and flavorful food. He is the owner of many Fort Worth restaurants, including the TCU favorite, The Woodshed Smokehouse and Lonesome Dove Western Bistro in the Stockyards. Though he is commonly known for his western cuisine, Chef Tim Love wanted to create a Euro-American restaurant that encompassed a playful atmosphere while providing delicious Italian food.
The menu includes antipasti, salads, and homemade pasta and pizza. The current Fort Worth favorite dish is homemade lobster spaghetti paired with the delicious antipasto, roasted garlic and parmesan breadsticks. This menu is perfect for large groups who want to share a variety of pastas and pizzas for their meal. Chef Tim Love told the Fort Worth community through his promotional Instagram post, “This project is dedicated and inspired by my girls — they’re such vibrant young women, and we wanted the menu to reflect the femininity and playfulness. I hope I make them proud!”. Try their mouth-watering antipasto, crispy ricotta stuffed squash blossoms, and their tasty cannoli for anyone who has a sweet tooth.

Along the side of the lawn are cabanas with comfy lounge chairs, overlooking the garden and bocce ball court. At night, the backyard area is lit up through decorative lights, including the illuminated LOVE sign.
