Parking in this area is not easy, you might have to look for a spot, so definitely plan that into your time if you have reservations. The overall atmosphere is great and the music was on point. I’m not a super big fan of the booth layout because they are three people deep and so if you end up sitting on the inside you’re pretty much stuck there. I think it would be cooler if they had booths open on each side. The middle table looked cool though, but we didn’t sit there even though we had requested hightop in our reservation…the server was polite, but it took forever for her to come back and forth to our table and we were pretty much the only people there, (Thursday at 7pm) so I’m not sure what was up with that. Other than that, the food was insane, that pizza with some of the best I’ve had in a while, we had the Detroit vodka. The brussels sprout salad was OK. I feel like both the salads I tried there needed more salt or flavoring —Something was missing and maybe it was just salt- not sure. Glasses of wine come out in little carafes so you know you get a good pour each time. Prices were decent, it was a great place to just have a casual meal with friends.

Have been here dozens of times and it is great pizza. However, sometimes the food and service is inconsistent. Still, definitely worth a try bc when everything is good, it is great.

The food was delicious as always. The staff went out of their way to make sure that we got our food in time to to eat and get to the show we were attending. The restaurant was packed including a private party and the wait staff was exceptional. The noise level was really high.

We had a fantastic experience with our first time at the Jimmy! We split the pasta with corn and crab meat, and then the Quatro Formaggi pizza. Both were absolutely amazing! Drinks were just okay, but definitely willing to try others. We will be back to try the other items on the menu we were excited about! And definitely recommend!!

Took my grandparents here while they were in town and they loved it. Our server was fantastic and the food was, as always, the high quality you would expect from an authentic Italian restaurant. Highly recommend overall, and specifically the Carbonara.
