I finally went back to Jim and Pete’s after years. The food was excellent. We ate inside, but I love the fireplace that they have outside. We had the thin pizza and grilled calamari. Both were excellent. The grilled calamari was seasoned well! The atmosphere is great! Customer service was excellent! One of the few restaurants that have been to recently where they take the time to be attentive to their customers. I will definitely be visiting more often.

We were a table of 10 and no one ate their food. This "Italian" restaurant is one of the worst I have ever been too. This was fake Italian food. We started with the extremely overdone calamari. You could not cut it with a fork. It was like chewing rubber. The cocktail sauce was bland and disgusting.
The salmon was overdone and way too salty, the giant rigatoni was a super thick noodle that was undercooked in an oil sauce. The chicken Francese was a overly breaded black pepper fiasco. It tasted like it was a frozen breaded chicken breast that they tried to make Italian. The sauce was pungeant and greasy and tasted nothing like the classic dish. Worst Italian experience of my life. As for the others at my table; everyone left full plates. It was digusting food. It cost almost $500 and none of us had alcohol. Stay away.

Average food/Average Service. Chose Jim & Pete's based on past visits. Turned out to be a total mistake. I didn't appreciate getting a pre-cooked/days old chicken. It was like chewing rubber bands and the roasted potato's were reheated from previous day/days. They were dark brown, greasy, and mushy. Staff was friendly but never checked to see if we wanted additional cocktails/soda etc. My husband had to flag down the seating host to get another beer. We were entertaining out of town guests and based on the food and service, I felt embarrassed. We spent $169.00 and left totally disappointed. Jim & Pete's should stick to making pizza only or get yourself a new manager and chef.

Ok meal and ok service for a large group at lunch. Chicken parmesan and chicken bococino did not impress. Lasagna was the best dish

This a really nice, cute, and casual place to grave something to eat. The bread baskets there are so delicious it’s soft and warm. The waiter was really nice. I had the seafood salad and it was delightful, I liked how there was different cuts and forms of the octopus in the salad. Overall this place is good.👍

Terrible experience at Jim and Pete's. The drinks and the appetizer was good. But I got the chicken broccoli Alfredo and it was terrible. I got all fat pieces of chicken. And my mom and I got carry out a few weeks ago. The eggplant was not cooked well. And we got the Italian chicken and instead of getting 2 pieces of chicken we got one skimpy little piece of chicken. 26 dollars was a lot for one little piece of chicken. Idk what happened their food used to be so good and not it's terrible.

For years I have bought pizzas and wings here. You should try their Super pizza and spicy wings. Recently tried lasagna. It was so well made, now I don't know which one to pick. Service is always good. They do get busy Friday night and Saturday.

I've been a big fan since I was a kid. Just take a look at the edge of the crust! Highly recommended.
