The food was absolutely DELICIOUS. I Have ate at many Italian restaurants, this place just became part of my top 3 places to go. My table ordered zucchini fries as an appetizer. They were amazing. We also ordered classic Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. It was so creamy! Best Fettuccine Alfredo i have ever had.. Next we ordered Stuffed shells(you wont regret it) so yummy. Also, I dont normally order desserts. Glad we did this time, the homemade raspberry cheekcake!! The cheesecake was so fluffy and creamy. The dining room was low lit, very classy/comfortable feel. The severs were very attentive and swift.
100/10 will be back!

Jimmy’s is a great mom and pop Italian restaurant in the Dayton area. The serving sizes were plentiful and the food was delicious. The service was quick and the waitress was very friendly. We were a little disappointed that they were out of pizza and calzones on a prime weekend day. We will definitely return and enjoy this restaurant again.

I had the Chicken & Shrimp Fra Diavolo. This is a spicey marinara sauce, and it has a bit of a kick. The Chicken breast was cooked perfectly as was the shrimp. The chicken was tender, cut it with my spoon. I would have preferred the shrimp came without the tails, but i think it did add to the excellent flavor.
The wife had Linguini with Alfredo and Meatballs. This was her own design, because she loves the Meatballs. We have came for lunch and ordered the Meatballs and a side salad as a meal. The Alfredo had a smooth consistency and clung to the Linguini. Very creamy and smooth.
My daughter had Chicken Picatta. The Chicken was perfectly prepared, thin, tender, with just a light sear. The lemon and caper sauce had a great flavor. Smooth and clung to the Spaghetti noodles. She loved it.
All the meals came with a side salad and garlic knots. The bread had a brown crust, and bits of real garlic, really good. The salads were fresh, with crisp lettuce, slices of tomato, cucumber, and slivers of red onion. I had French dressing, the ladies had the house made Italian.
I highly recommend you come give it a try.

The parking lot was packed and I didn’t think we were going to be seated quickly but as we walked in we got to a table right away. The waitress was amazing and super helpful. Even with it being busy we didn’t wait too long for our food and it was hot. Everything was so amazing there and if we come back to Dayton we will be coming back to Jimmy’s!

Overall, this was a fantastic experience. I have been to the original Jimmy’s in Kettering, many times, but this is the first visit to the downtown location. The server was very young and since the restaurant had only been open for a month, I will give her a slight pass for not knowing the menu or even what a Carafe of Sangria is. She got all of our orders correctly, and that is the important part. The service will certainly come around. The food was amazing (especially the Ryan’s Special). I added a few photos of the dishes we had. Enjoy!

I wasn’t sure how to rate this place. I ordered my favorite dish, the one by which I judge all new Italian places, Chicken Piccata.

Nothing was bad, but it wasn’t good either. The house salad was as basic as could be, with the bonus if some random FOD that I just moved to the rim. The chicken, where do I begin? How do you boil a chicken tender and also make it tough? The sauce was bland; the capers being the only thing with flavor. It completely lacked lemon. It’s weird because the pasta wasn’t dry, and it appeared to have “stuff” but it just didn’t taste like anything. It was as if it were sauced with unsalted butter.

The dish would greatly benefit from actual chicken breasts, butterflied and pan seared. Some malliard reaction would do wonders for the lack of flavor and presentation both. I mean, we aren’t in the UK and we don’t have to boil everything.

The restaurant is clean and bright, but it’s also sterile. There’s Italian music of some sort playing overhead, but the tables are void of anything, no decorations, no seasonings, just, empty like the parking lot.

Service was good, being both friendly but not annoyingly clingy.

Do you ever go out for an evening and have your expectations far exceeded. We did tonight at Jimmies Italian Cuisine. We had been here before and knew the food was good, but what made the evening special was Sophie the bartender. She made us feel so at home that we felt like we were visiting friends, not just having dinner at the bar. In addition, the baked ziti was amazing and a great value. We will definitely be regulars.

I had the manicotti and my husband had the baked ziti.
Both dishes were tasty, fresh and piping hot. The rolls were a real treat. Our server was friendly and attentive. We also ordered a to go meal which was ready promptly. The atmosphere was extra nice as they were decorating for Christmas. This was our first visit but it won’t be our last.

My wife and I had a really disappointing experience at this Jimmy’s location. We’ve eaten at the other location multiple times and have always had good food and service, so this was honestly shocking.

The garlic rolls came out cold and just didn’t taste good. Garlic rolls should be warm, soft, buttery, and full of flavor — these tasted like plain bread that had been sitting around.

I ordered the lasagna, and it honestly didn’t resemble lasagna at all. Lasagna should have clear layers, a rich meat sauce, and be well-seasoned. What I got was bland, mushy, and tasted like it was thrown together with no care.

We also ordered pizza, and it was by far the worst pizza I’ve had in Dayton. The crust was lifeless, the sauce had no flavor, and the cheese tasted cheap and overcooked. A good pizza should have balance — this had none.

What made the experience even worse was the manager. He was rude, dismissive, and acted like he was above any kind of feedback. Instead of trying to fix the situation, he just came off as arrogant.

This location really needs to work on customer service and the overall dining experience. Going like this isn’t going to keep the doors open. It’s disappointing because we’ve had great experiences at the other Jimmy’s, but we won’t be coming back to this one.

Jimmy’s Italian Cuisine just feels like home. The food was great, but Jamie really made the experience special. Super friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we sat down. It had that real neighborhood, community vibe where you’re not just another table. You can tell they care here. Can’t wait to come back. ❤️
