I can't help but think about The Godfather or Goodfellas when we come here, mainly because of the decor. However, it's ok, because the service is exceptional, as is the food. The waitresses talk about the food like they cooked the food, and I have never been let down. Be aware that space and time can be an issue, so... More

Restaurant looks like nothing on the outside, valet parking in a "seedy" town. Once inside, a bar with locals, nice seating and delicious food. Portions are huge, service is excellent. Took a friend for a special birthday dinner and was not disappointed. Not my first visit and it will not be my last. Worth the trip and don't be afraid... More

This is a Red-Sauce Italian Restaurant at its best. The thick-cut pork chops were excellent as well as the rest of the meal.

Everything was going well...we put in our order and got our drinks. Within a short order of time got our appetizer. Now... As we waited... More

If you're down at the Jersey shore and want to go to a place off the beaten path...try Jimmy's. It's not close to the water and there are no views but the regulars (lots of regulars) come here for the food. And the food keeps them comiing back. Really good old school Italian food.

Friends took my wife and me to this restaurant for the first time. It's old school Italian and very good. All our entrees were delicious, and the cannoli I had for dessert would in itself bring me back! It's a bit pricey, but worth it. Note: The neighborhood is sketchy, but they have valet parking.

My wife and I were supposed to go to Little Italy for dinner but bad weather detoured us from going. We stayed local and picked Jimmy's from recommendations of my facebook friends. Well, we were not disappointed. We arrived at 6 and the place was empty which could have a been a bad sign. We ordered cocktails which were great,... More
