The Burrata app and roasted broccolini side were amazing! The burrata should come with bread or crackers to enjoy every morsel. We ordered the bread side but it was a little stale and too thickly cut. The rigatoni was hearty and flavorful with very tender meat. Too full for dessert... portions are generous... this was what we ate between the 2 of us. The gin gimlet was on point with the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Great evening!
What a gem! Adorable little restaurant, excellent food with a well curated menu and so many fresh ingredients. Great service - we will be back. 
My first visit to The Jimmy was a surprise bachelorette brunch with some girlfriends. I have lived in Charlotte for years but hadn't heard of this place. Brunch was fantastic with both savory and sweet menu items. The bloody mary was out of this world and I highly recommend. Since that brunch I have visited three more times and am so satisfied with every visit. The cocktails are great (shoutout to the dean martini) and they have alcohol deals on different days of the week. During two of my visits, Amber was our waitress and she is the BEST. She knows the menu like the back of her hand and is always helping us pick out what to try next. The Jimmy chopped salad is probably my favorite thing on the menu but nothing I have ordered has disappointed. Pasta, pizza, appetizers, even dessert was so amazing. Can't wait to go back and try even more of this amazing menu. Walk-ins are welcome but I have always reserved ahead of time. Value is great - we always go home with leftovers. My favorite way to experience The Jimmy is to order a bunch of things for the table and share but if that's not your jam, no worries since its not really a tapas place. Vibes are nicer than a chain restaurant but not as stiff as other high-end Italian restaurants. Most people are in jeans/cute outfits, no one is wearing athletic/athleisure. My most recent visit was with 4 people total, we all had multiple drinks. Ordered two appetizers, two pasta dishes, a chopped salad to share, and 2 desserts and our bill was right under $300 which I consider a great deal. Keep being great, The Jimmy!
Very nice establishment and ambiance, given my reservation was at 5pm, the restaurant was very peaceful. The blackberry cocktail was surprising good. Also ordered bread, Caesar salad, Strozzapreti, and tiramisu. Everything was top notch and flavorful. Look forward to coming back!
We chose The Jimmy for our Christmas Eve dinner and it did not disappoint. Our server, Christian, as attentive and friendly. We shared a local greens salad which is a generous portion, easy to to share between two people. It was dressed perfectly! Both our pasta meals were delicious. Easy parking here and a fun vibe atmosphere. We will return.
Our dinner at the Jimmy was great! Amber waiting on us again and took excellent care of us. We split the chopped salad, burrata, meatballs and bread for an app. Then we ordered raviolis, lamb, roasted chicken and pizza. Being the dad, I of course had try everyone's and it was great. Can't beat the Jimmy. Excellent every time.
Our party of six had a great experience. Sarah, our server, is excellent and helped add to our enjoyment of the evening. Be sure to ask her for her Scotch recommendation! The food was excellent and the portion size was ideal. We will definitely return.

The entire experience here was amazing! The food was delicious and Amber our server was extremely sweet and attentive. Ernie the manager who made a point to touch our table was also helpful in helping me choose the best wine for me. The entire experience from start to finish was very enjoyable. We will be back.

This was our first visit to the Jimmy, hard to believe. My wife and I usually reserve nights out for the two of us, without our daughter (2.5 years old). We went in on a Friday at about 5:30 and it was a great fit. The service was excellent (Zach) all around. They catered to our daughter to make sure she stayed happy, LOL. While mom and dad enjoyed their food. Top notch vodka martini too. Cheers to the bartender. Will be back!

If you want a tasty meal in a relaxing place I recommend The Jimmy. The selection is not extensive but their food is delicious.
Always the best food and service! Casual enough to come from work but special to have a celebration!
