» Change, change, change … The silver lining of this summer’s wave of restaurant casualties is an array of brand-new eateries to sink our teeth into. One is Gemelli (232 Woodbine Ave., Narberth), run by chef/partner Clark Gilbert, formerly of Restaurant Taquet in Wayne. The closing of Margot provided Gilbert, who lives near the restaurant, with the space in which to create a polished yet casual neighborhood spot with an emphasis on comfort and affordability. Gemelli—“twins” in Italian—is both a reference to Gilbert’s two 11-year-olds and a twisted style of dried pasta that reflects the menu’s marriage of Italian and French cuisine. The BYO balances approachable dishes (like tortellini with prosciutto and peas in a tomato-cream sauce) with more ambitious fare (think pappardelle with braised rabbit).
