I attended someone's 50th birthday on March 10th. My waitresses were rude The pasta was way too sugary. It was supposed to be preset entries. The rest of the entree was missing. It was only the chicken or the fish. There was no starch as far as mashed potatoes and there was no greens. The waitresses weren't prompt in doing refills. They flickered the lights twice to dim it as in that was time for us to leave.I don't think they are too kind to all ethnicities. Myself and a couple other people from the party will never go back or recommend.

Extremely disappointed. It was our first time here and many people had told us to try this restaurant. We will not be back. We had a 7:00 pm restaurant and we didn't like the table in the back it was in a party room. The waitress was not very personable at all. We waited for a booth for an 1 1/2 hours and we waited at the bar. We were told that we really couldn't sit there unless we were ordering food. We told the bartender that we were waiting for a booth. Meanwhile, the one booth had been empty but it had not been cleaned off. An elderly couple came in and sat at the booth that wasn't even cleaned off yet and just had cappuccino...I guess they were regulars. Ordered a salad and it came out with an awful dressing that tasted like fish and all you could smell was the fish in it. The pasta dishes that we ordered were a very small portion and not enough sauce and there wasn't much taste. The seafood in the dish was very chewy. The bill wasn't cheap and we were very disappointed with the entire experience.

I wasn't that impressed with the food at this place the hot antipasto was swimming in red sauce ,entrees were okay. The chicken scarpariello was not the traditional one ,the waitress told us after she brought it to the table it was good but not what we thought it was I think she should have told us before we ordered it that they make it totally different ,bread was good.
Old school Italian restaurant, excellent food large portions.The cheesecake is a must.

I've been here many times and thought I had reviewed it in the past. The bread was divine- crunchy on the outside, warm & soft on the inside. The sangria was ok. The eggplant rollatini was scrumptious. The mozzarella sticks were OK. The accompanying marinara sauce was wonderful. The lasagna didn't have enough sauce, but it as good nonetheless. It tasted like the inside of the ravioli was unseasoned, and the sauce did not taste as well as the marinara that accompanied the mozzarella sticks. The tiramisu was very good and authentic. The service was immaculate.

No one does Italian better than Jimmy's. Salad is outstanding. Sauce....I wish they'd bottle and sell it. Chicken Scarpiella you will never want anyone else's again ever. I had chicken piccatta tonight... you'll never want anyone else's again ever.Highly recommend the franchise, piccatta, scarpiella, and the pistachio cake. Unreal!

Disappointing. Have gone there for years. Last night was actually terrible. Service was present but seemed very inexperienced. Salad came out with awful dressing tasted like canned fish. Stuffed artichoke was mushy and not good. Dishes came with almost a pound of pasta, didn't make sense. Scallops were bearable not delicious, not awful, just tolerable. Didn't have first 3 wines we selected, came out with higher priced alternative that we never heard of nor wanted. Overcharged the dinner $10.00 over menu price. Waiter adjusted the bill then added 3% service charge for American Express which was not disclosed anywhere on menu or in restaurant. Waiter kept forgetting requests. The lighting in back room was awful, now we had that awful blue light over the table in main dining room. After many years as a patron, was bad enough to say I'd never go back again.

Spent Christmas Eve dinner here this week. I only gave the service 4 stars because we waited for 40mins before a server approached our table.. and that was only because we got up and asked. But TARA came to our rescue! She was wonderfully professional, super friendly and attentive. 5 stars! Most of the staff are equivalent to the professional servers you find at old school New York restaurants. The food never disappoints. Highly recommend starting with a pizza or the rice balls. Everyone’s entrees were enormous and delicious! When we walked out of our early seating, we realized the line of people checking in. About 50 deep. Grace under fire! We will be back for our next special occasion.. thank you!

Food is great! Atmosphere is old school but I like that. The staff is not nice and I do not like how they added the tip to the bill. Very tacky and do not tell someone what to tip! How rude!
