A cute little Italian spot offering italian pastries, coffees, foccia sandwichs, pizza and arancini, has a lovely little deli area inside for buying pastas, oils and sauces as well as fresh meats and cheeses at the counter. Outside seating available. Nice for a day date would go again

What a find! Superb proper coffee and delicious amaretto and raspberry brownie which was warmed for us. Will be back to try lunch. Staff welcoming and service prompt.

Such a lovely little discovery today! Fresh, delicious food, great coffee and really friendly and approachable service. My 2yo absolutely loved her lunch and babycino and has asked if she can go again, so we’ll be back! Of course had to treat ourselves to cannoli to take home too!

Love this café enjoyed a yummy ham toasties with delicious side salad and a decaf latte which was also excellent. I'm already looking forward to my next visit . Very reasonably priced with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere .

We were in need of a light bite so as not to ruin the prospect of a decent dinner later in the day. Enter stage left "Le Gemelle" which means the twins, I believe. The staff were very friendly and chatty which is always nicer then the stroppy faces and the long nylon nails of the terminally indifferent younger generation who are appalled they have to interact with you at all. We had Toasties and a slice of pizza , and admired all the Italian produce on the shelves. The cold iced Latte drinks were particularly welcome because it has been devilishly hot in Leicester.

Beautiful evening with friends at Le Gemelle. Italian cocktails, with personalised recommendations from the boss, as I'd never tried cocktails! Small snack-sized cicchetti/tapas was lovely, and the atmosphere was great. Beautiful genuine italian cannoli too, and a small deli selection to take away, including amazing cheeses
