HEADLINE: Gemelli’s restaurant group announces new addition to the ‘family’ with Papa Rolly’s

Fresh from launching a new Gelateria in December, Gemelli’s restaurant group is bringing authentic Italian cuisine to the Carrara community with the unveiling of its latest passion project, Papa Rolly’s.

Named in honour of their grandfather Rolando affectionately nicknamed ‘Rolly,’ this new eatery represents everything that the Carney brothers – Paul, James and Alec – love about Italian cuisine as a nod to the man who connected them with its flavours and their cultural ties to the Abruzzo region and the country as a whole.

This new restaurant will be Gemelli Restaurant Group’s sixth venue and at 120sqm brings their signature handmade Italian food in a fresh, casual, and family-friendly setting – with the concept and name inspired by their first food truck, also named Papa Rolly’s, back in 2016.

For Alec Carney, Papa Rolly’s is about creating a neighbourhood community eatery that aligns with their ethics as a family and a business as they hope to match the impact that Roy’s by Gemelli’s has had on Sorrento.

“Our Nonno, Rolly was the person who really introduced us to our cultural ties to Italy and opened our hearts to our connection to a region, Abruzzo and our stomachs to the joys of Italian cuisine,” said Mr Carney.

“Papa Rolly’s is one of our more family friendly restaurants to-date, where we will be bringing authentic, handmade Italian cuisine to Carrara where we have the opportunity to create an entire eating experience. Our goal is to celebrate Italian culture at Papa Rolly’s in celebration of our Nonno and due to this connection I can assure you that we will be working our hardest to provide food and create an atmosphere that he would love.”

To celebrate the launch of Papa Rolly’s, Gemelli’s Restaurant Group will be hosting an exclusive invite only lunch for the city’s business community and media alike.
