Our Guestbook
“ Very impressed with this local mom & pop restaurant! The place was very clean & tidy. Our server, Chan, was an absolute delight! Along with the food & personal attention from the owner, she made our meal! The ceaser salad was delicious & the house salad was good with the homemade Italian dressing. My husband had the lasagna & really enjoyed all the cheese in it. My father had the Shrimp Primavera & was pleased with the amount of Shrimp & even tho the description said 'spicy' sauce, he said it wasn't overly done. I had the Carbonara, very creamy & filling. We shared the spumoni for dessert, it was a huge serving for 3 of us. You can't beat the personal service from the owner who came by at least twice to check in our meals. We will definitely add this as one of our regular stops! ”
“ My wife and I live in Grover and drive by Jimmy D's daily, constantly saying we're gonna have to try that place. We just stopped in last night for the first time and are both super stoked that we did! It's a cool spot with a good and inviting ambiance to it. Our waitress (young gal with glasses) was superb! I am sorry we didn't get her name and it's not on the receipt. The owner was also there, and made it a point to stop by every table. She even knew it was our first time in. From the ambiance and service experience, this is the best in Grover for a restaurant. It's also within walking distance for us, and fatkid likes to eat. We ordered cheesy bread that was delicious, and I thought my wife was gonna fight me over the last piece. My wife ordered the egg plant primavera, she didn't let me have a taste, but there was nothing left to go home with. I ordered their spaghetti with meatballs and marinara sauce. Delicious! We shared a calzone, fork fighting to the finish. Everything had that fresh look, texture, and flavor to it! I also eyed the other dishes folks were being served. They all looked wonderful. If we wouldn't have driven there, I'd have rolled my way down the street home - I was so full! I personally think that our other local Italian Restaurants are a bit lacking and overrated, you just don't get that freshness feeling from them, more commercial like. This ain't one of them. We will be happy regulars! ”
“ I don't want to give it away, I don't, too. Ok, I will. This is my favorite place. Made me feel as if I was in New York. The food was delicious, and the service was incredible. Brought my entire family at the spur of the moment, and they didn't wink an eye. We're coming back, and I can't wait. ”
“ Best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to! Sauce is amazing! I have a sensitive stomach and after eating here my stomach also enjoyed the food with no issues at all. My 2 girls who are a bit choosy wit food absolutely loves their pasta and sauce! One of my daughter loves tortellini which wasn’t on their menu but sure enough they made it for her! My other daughter loved their spaghetti! Now we know where to come eat when we visit the area! Highly recommend this friendly, restaurant with outstanding service! ”
