    Cavatelli Nero
    Sydney W.

    I came here for a fun evening with my family and that's what we got! Our waiter was hilarious and very helpful with guiding us through the menu. We got a wide assortment of things, but my favorite was the Cavatelli Nero. It had a nice kick to it. I finished the meal with an excellent affogato!

    We went to The Jimmy around 6:00 on a Friday and had no trouble getting in, but the parking lot is small and often crowded. It's a cute, but casual spot. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. They checked in on us often. We split a pizza and a salad and that was enough for two people. The Jimmy Chopped Salad was especially good.

    I have not stopped thinking about this restaurant since I went!! It is quietly tucked away and the parking lot is very small so I recommend taking rideshare if you can. But the food! The food is amazing. My friend and I split the meatballs to start and they did not disappoint! Then I decided to try the crab pasta. It was delicious but a very small portion which was a little sad. My friend had the lamb which I tried a bite of and it was very very good! I'll be getting that next time. I love the open kitchen concept. They also have a great patio! The staff were patient when I couldn't decide on what to eat and when we didn't realize they closed. They even offered dessert still and let me tell you.... I have been thinking about it since I had it. Best Tiramisu I ever had in my life and I don't like most tiramisu's! It's definitely worth checking this place out!

    Linguini pasta ($20) with 6 pieces of shrimp, n'duja, yellow tomato, chili and mint.

    First time trying The Jimmy's, my husband and I were excited and decided to grab a spot on the patio with our dog, Flanders. We were greeted by a server who gave us water and then explained she wouldn't be our server but the bartender would be. I think we must have come at a point during staff transition because I feel like the bartender shouldn't be a server too. Anyways, took awhile to be greeted by him and for him to take our order (he had 3 other tables to greet and take orders from). While we were waiting the manager brought out a water bowl for our dog, really nice touch! My husband and I wanted to try a few different items so decided to share. We started with the Salisccia Pizza ($23) which has House-made Fennel Sausage, red onion, and Ricotta cheese. The pizza had a great, crunchy crust and really good cheese. We did order a side of hot honey (which was a nice pairing) but when we got our bill we saw it was $4, which felt a bit steep. It would've been nice if our server (the bartender) had mentioned the upcharge before tacking it onto the bill. The other dish we ordered was the Linguini pasta ($20) with 6 pieces of shrimp, n'duja, yellow tomato, chili and mint. The pasta was solid but small for the price. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, the sauce had a bit of a spicy kick, and the yellow tomatoes added a nice pop of flavor. The mint was a bit of a no-show, but it didn't take away from the overall dish. The atmosphere at The Jimmy's was laid-back, with a decent crowd enjoying wine and cocktails outside, which made for a pleasant, relaxed vibe. Overall, I'd say it's a good spot to chill with friends or bring your dog, but a few small details kept it from being a standout experience for us. We'd probably come back, but with tempered expectations.

    Service was fantastic. Food is good...... had a PLT sandwich and my colleague had the chicken parm which was better than the sandwich. Also, I've had the meatballs on the dinner menu and was surprised at how delicious!

    Absolutely loved The Jimmy! Super cute restaurant in Myers Park with good vibes and great food and cocktails. The inside is bright and well decorated, but can get a bit loud. There is also a great patio space. One issue with The Jimmy is the limited parking lot, but you can also try to find street parking. The service was good and as fast as expected on a Friday night. I thought the food was delicious! We split a pizza for an appetizer which was great and I loved the cacio e pepe! I look forward to returning to The Jimmy!

    Tiramisu
    Cristina R.

    Solid Italian spot that we're happy to have in the area! The interior is comfortable and nicely lit, service is very friendly and helpful, and there's also a large patio. There's a parking lot behind the building, but it was full when we arrived, so we found street parking in the neighborhood. Now let's talk food! The cavatelli nero had a generous portion of blue crab, along with corn. These were tossed with black pasta - which I honestly would have appreciated more of to make this a heftier portion. Slightly spicy and flavorful with great texture. One of the specials for the night were mussels in a saffron broth. Although not the best mussels dish I've had in the area, the charred bread really complemented this dish well. Meatballs app was tasty and classic with flavorful, meaty balls in red sauce. We ended with tiramisu, which seemed a bit small for the price tag ($14). I really enjoyed the ratio of coffee-soaked cake to mascarpone. Just wish there was more to enjoy!

    Rigatoni
    Zara T.

    Great experience! We popped in on a stormy Friday night and sat at the bar. We ordered drinks and food from the bartender. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and seemed to enjoy his time working with his coworkers - they all seem to like each other! We ordered the rigatoni and cavatelli nero. Both were delicious and fully eaten. Since we were still hungry, we also split a Quattro Formaggi pizza. Very much enjoyed all our food - no crumbs! The bar was nice, and the rest of the restaurant was buzzing, nicely decorated and lively. They have a musicians play on Wednesdays I believe and a patio too for nice days. Parking lot for easy access right off of the main road. Happy with our experience and would pop in again.

    Excellent service, phenomenal food, and great ambiance. Everything on the menu sounded so amazing it was hard to decide what to get! Will definitely be back.

    Delicious food! I have been once two years ago and thought about it ever since. Finally got to go back again this weekend - from the service, the cocktails, the environment - perfect Friday night spot for the girls, date night, nicer dinner, etc. can't recommend the food and cocktails enough.

    Burrata and prosciutto pizza
    Kathryn T.

    What a gem!! The service was the highlight of this place. The host and server both went out of their way to welcome us and make it an exceptional dining experience. As for the food, we split the burrata prosciutto and pistachio pizza and the Caesar salad. The salad was awesome - a very creative rendition of a Caesar salad, and it was a generous portion to split as a side to our entree. The pizza was also good, but I'd opt for a different flavor next time! It was a little wet with the type of toppings/cheese, and the prosciutto wasn't your typical dark prosciutto, but overall great flavor and the crust was awesome. The patio was also lovely! Would love to come again with a group to try a few of their appetizers and /or sit at their bar (which looked lovely). Would definitely recommend.

They have amazing espresso martinis and aperol spritzes. The only dishes that I tried included the white truffle garlic bread, Sunday night lasagna, and the hot honey prosciutto pizza. Everything was delicious. A special shoutout to the Sunday night lasagna - WOW it was perfect. I'm usually not a huge lasagna person, but this changed that. I would 100% recommend this. Since we were celebrating my birthday with our parents, they were kind enough to give me a free dessert. I chose the salted caramel budino, and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend this as a dessert. Overall, we had a great experience! I would definitely come back.

I was told they had snapper with the same fixings, so I went with that, but then was told they didn't have the snapper either. I asked if they could do salmon with the same preparation and, if not, I'd just order salmon on one of their salads. The server didn't mention that they couldn't do the salmon dish and came back with the salmon salad. It was fine, but I would have appreciated a heads-up that the original request wasn't possible. The salad itself had way too much dressing, which made it difficult to eat. A couple of my friends ordered a pasta dish that had so much horseradish that they couldn't really eat it. Overall, the food was fine and the service was fine, but there were enough misses that I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend North Italia. The vibe was nice, so there's that.

I ordered the linguine carbonara which was delicious! The pasta was perfectly al denté and the sauce was flavorful and yummy. I only wish the pancetta was not cooked so hard as some pieces were a bit hard to chew /crunchy in an unappealing way. All of the pasta dishes come with bread, initially envisioned garlic bread or a breadstick but it was actually small squares of what could best be described as pita bread? Which felt like an odd addition and was not very good. I ended my meal with a chocolate chip cannoli which was delicious as well. The perfect amount of filling with a nice texture of the added chocolate chips. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my pasta and dessert and the service was quick and efficient. This is a great spot for quick lunch or dinner and nice enough to have a good conversation there.

The ratio of noodles to cheese and sauce didn't feel balanced, and felt more like lasagna soup, but overall, it was decent. I think I'd try something different next time. My husband had the mussels and said they were okay- basically mussels and tomato sauce. As for the ambiance, it's casual Italian dining experience, and includes a market at the front of the store for take home breads and pastas.

At one point, an Italian friend of mine told me that some of her friends had eaten here and really didn't like it. I actually argued with her about it because my experiences had always been so good. Unfortunately, after my last couple of visits, I understand what she meant. A lot of the pasta dishes I used to love are no longer on the menu. They used to have an amazing lobster tortellini dish, and there was another pasta I ordered several times that was excellent, although I can't remember the name anymore. The newer pasta dishes I've tried just haven't been nearly as good. The last two times we came here, we were disappointed. On my most recent visit, I ordered the truffle pasta, and it was honestly terrible. I sometimes make truffle pasta myself, so I'm familiar with that flavor. What I was served here was definitely not what I expected from a restaurant I used to think so highly of. After two disappointing visits in a row, we probably won't be coming back. I'm giving it three stars mainly because of how good this place used to be. The pizza is still okay, but just okay. There are plenty of other places where you can get better pizza. It's a shame, because this restaurant used to be much better.
