Jemma di Mare

"Had a really lovely evening here last night! Wonderful service and food. We ordered the Beets and Burrata for our appetizer, which was simple and delicious. I love margaritas so I ordered the Basil Margarita. For our main course we had their famed Spicy Rigatoni Alla Vodka and Chicken Parmesan. The Spicy Rigatoni was out of this world. Perfectly cooked pasta and paired with flavorful sauce that I will dream about. We tied our dinner off with cannolis. Yum! Our server, Michael, was so on it and knew the menu thoroughly. He was very kind and made our time very special. Armando, was also a delight and super helpful. He made sure to check on us throughout. Thank you to Emily for ensuring we had a wonderful dinner experience. Definitely will be back for round 2."

"Jemma di mare is a new Italian spot in Brentwood. The vibes are immaculate and the food even better. Came here on a Saturday with no reservation and was able to sit at the bar. The Caesar salad and garlic bread are to die for. And the espresso martini to wash it down was … chefs kiss"

"It was our daughter and son in law’s turn to celebrate my wife’s birthday. They chose Jemma Di Mare in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and it was an exquisite experience. This charming restaurant, curated by the talented husband and wife team, Jackson and Melissa Kalb, truly embodies the essence of a neighborhood gem. Located in the heart of Brentwood, Jemma Di Mare offers a delightful menu featuring hand-rolled pastas, seafood classics with a creative twist, sandwiches, and salads, all crafted from locally sourced, market-driven ingredients. As a seafood-focused Italian American restaurant, they excel in delivering a memorable dining experience. Their menu boasts a range of signature dishes, from timeless classics like linguine alle vongole and spicy eggplant parmesan to contemporary interpretations like polenta cake with Kaluga caviar and kanpachi crudo siciliana. My personal highlight was the spicy homemade rigatoni pasta with vodka sauce; it was a culinary masterpiece. The pasta had the perfect al dente texture, and the flavors were simply outstanding. To kick off the meal, the garlic bread was heavenly and set the tone for what was to come. The service at Jemma Di Mare was impeccable. Our waiter was attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. To top it off, they surprised us with a delightful birthday dessert, which added a sweet touch to the celebration.

With outstanding cuisine, impeccable service, and a charming atmosphere, it's the perfect place for special occasions or a memorable night out."

"My husband and I had a fantastic experience here! We used to frequent bottlefish which was previously in this location… Jemma di Mare blew us away. The service was fantastic - Teanna was an incredible server and made sure we were satisfied at all times. The food was outstanding! Highly recommend the kale salad, baby carrots, tagliatelle (with a meatball), and the octopus…which was SO tender. We finished with a very tasty cannoli. A fun atmosphere and overall positive experience! We will be back :)"

"Just moved to the neighborhood and heard of the other restaurants in this group. The space is great and service is on top of it. We got the garlic bread, panzanella, tagliatelle, and fish of the day and butter pasta for my 10 month old. Everything came out super fast, well prepared, not too big portion sizes. The best / most unique was the panzanella. We did not get it but the Sunday cart was massive and impressive for any kid ordering. Will definitely be back."
