Jimmy Daddona’s

They always quote about 45 to 55 minutes for pizza and it turns out cold. The hosts excuse was that he doesn’t keep the pizza under the heat lamp because it makes the box soggy. Why wouldn’t you just quote accurate pick up times? Host told me next time to tell him to put it under the heat lamps… will not be back. The service here will not improve since it has really been the same for at least ten years.

Started with a bowl of Italian wedding soup. It was excellent, and tasted like it was made from scratch. I ordered the seafood fettuccini. Wow! Overall a great experience. Highly recommend heading over there when you’re in the mood for Italian.

Has been a favorite of ours for at least 20 years. Service is hit or miss but that’s true with most eateries. The restaurant and menu may not appeal to millennial but what the hell do they know. Bottom line is that they have very good food for a fair price. If I could change one thing. I would update and upgrade their wine offering.

Still the best. Been going there for 20 years. Great food. Great value. $ 9 for huge bowl pasta includes salad and best rolls in town. Pizza excellant too.

First time here and everything was great. We went for lunch. For starters the garlic rolls are delicious. I ordered the tomato cream pasta and was not disappointed. The portion size is huge. A side salad came with it. I barely made a dent in my dish before I was full. So excited for leftovers. My husband ordered a small pizza with tomatoes and eggplant and he was very happy with it. Our sons shared a pepperoni pizza and they devoured it. I only wish I would’ve had room for dessert. Other reviews have stated that it’s overpriced. I disagree. I will easily get 3 meals out of the dish I ordered and it was $ 13.99. We paid $ 40 and that included our drinks.
My one and only complaint was that they isn’t have kid cups but that’s not a huge deal at all.
We will definitely come back.

I wish it were possible to give half stars as the 3.5 stars this restaurant has is right on in my estimation. I gave it 4 as I always like to give a place the benefit of the doubt.
It’s a very solid traditional Italian restaurant, but it’s not an outstanding one. I went here on a Tuesday night with a business partner and it wasn’t very crowded, we were seated immediately. The server was on top of her game, everything was timely and she was personable enough.
They serve warm fresh rolls at the beginning of the dinner and they are awesome. I had a veal dish which was good but not something I’d rave about. My business partner had a pepperoni pizza which he liked. We each got a side salad which was fine. They have a decent wine list, had an Italian wine that I had never heard of the type and it was really good and reasonably priced as was everything else on the menu. I see a few other comments where they think it’s an expensive place and I’d have to disagree, not cheap but reasonable for the quality and quantity of food.
When I’m back in the area I’d probably go back if I was looking for Italian food.

Really love this place! Been here twice now. Service has been great. McKala does a great job and makes some awesome drinks! Try the clam appetizer!

Despite posted online they close at 9pm and I got there at 8:55pm. They were very understanding and let me place a take out pizza order and sat at the bar to have a drink or two while I waited. The bartender also offered all of the left over rolls that remained from the evening for free. The pizza was good and the toppings were fresh. If you’re here from out of town and need a place to eat in the area I would swing by.

Service was slow, which is unacceptable when there’s only 2 occupied tables. Food was good, but a bit pricey. Worth a try, but keep your expectations low.

We haven’t been here for a couple years but had a nice experience last night. The food was excellent. My daughter had the seafood fettucini which looked really good and she loved it my wife and I both had the veal parm which was a huge portion and I ordered a side of fettucini alfredo with it instead of the regular spaghetti so yummy. Of course the garlic bread is always a big hit. The only negative I will say is our server seemed a bit stressed like they may be slightly understaffed but other than that we had a great meal will definitely return

The location is not the best. I had to turn back a couple times because it was behind another building. The food was good. The rolls were awesome. The prices were high but the portions were big. I’d go back if I was in the area and in the mood for Italian.

This place is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Highly recommended.

Our food was good but nothing amazing. The portions were ridiculously huge. My Alfredo with shrimp was too heavy but the shrimp were large and well cooked. I do have to say that the cheesecake was delicious and apparently made homemade in house. Overall, in Solon, a nice restaurant.

Last few visits have been disappointing. They do not have enough help. Food was good but service was awful. I felt sorry for our server so we didn’t ask for more coffee, beer or even stay for dessert.
Previous visit, the server seemed harassed… wasn’t friendly… Didn’t want to ask for anything.
Jimmy you need more help and they need
friendly…hostess also seemed harassed. She pitched in to help… but wasn’t welcoming to us.

Nothing anyone at my table ordered was correct, however, I’d say we still enjoyed our meals. Customer service was pretty shoddy though. The waitress was nice enough, just didn’t seem to know what she was doing. The Caesar side salad had an awesome dressing and the dinner rolls were awesome. When it came to the entry I ordered a pasta dish with scallops, however, the scallops didn’t come out and it took forever to flag down a waitress. When they eventually brought the scallops out it tasted like they microwaved them to get them to the table as soon as possible, not good. I was kind of disappointed that I had to pay full price.
I may be willing to give this place another chance; however, they definitely have things to work on.

Meh.
Way over priced, but this seems to be the norm for Cleveland area restaurants that think they offer something of substance.
Garlic knot roll things. First one was excellent, the remainder were very underdone and doughy.
You can tell the food is or has been frozen. The taste just didn’t bounce out like it should.

We used to love this place. The key word is used to. Let’s start with the appetizers. The calamari was cold and nothing like is used to be the last 12+ years. The marina sauce, which is usually wonderful, had chunks of tomatoes the size of quarters. It didn’t taste or even look like it usually does. I didn’t have a mozzarella stick but I’m told they were good. The best part, we waited almost an hour for our rolls and appetizers. Speaking of the rolls, they were also not up to par. They had very little garlic on them they also arrived cold.
Now let’s talk about the entrees. I always order the large Aglio E Olio pizza as I like to have extra for at home. I used to think this was the best white pizza anywhere. I say used to because that was not the case tonight. While it wasn’t bad it had very little garlic on it. This is supposed to be a garlic sauce pizza. I will say the crust was good and there were lots of mushrooms and mozzarella on it. My mother had a small Aglio E Olio with mozzarella and artichoke hearts. Her pizza was good except the artichokes were very bland. Since we’ve had it before we know it’s not normally like that. The others in our group had Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Parmigiana and Tilapia. Their food was good although the sides of spaghetti were not equal. One was overflowing and the other about half full.
Our entire dinner experience took over two hours. We were seated by 6:05 and left at 8:15. We did not sit around talking after dinner. It took that long to get all of our food. I will say that our waitress was nice and kept apologizing for the wait. She said they were unusually crowded today. When we came in there were people eating but no one waiting. I’ve been here before when we’ve waited for almost an hour but this was not the case. When we left we were the last people in the restaurant. I found that strange considering they claimed to be so busy. We won’t be going back any time soon.

The seafood fettuccine was huge– with a wreath of mussels around, and 4 scallops, 4 shrimp. The dish was $ 23, the most expensive dinner entrée, but came with a side salad that was fresh and dressing automatically comes on the side. The only disappointment was it wasn’t until the end of the meal that I realized I never got any of the garlic knots others had been raving about as coming with entrees, and I saw the basket at other tables. And yes, everyone goes home with leftovers, every table, every person!

This place was good, not great.
Came here on lunch with some coworkers and on this particular day they opened late due to some technical reason or another… They opened at noon and had a sign on the door. since we got there at 11:45 we were ok to wait.
Maybe what ever delay they had put the server in a bad mood because she was not super helpful and friendly. A few times when we asked for something she seemed frustrated and said «I am very busy, I will try to get that when I can»… actually more than once… strange… we were forgiving of that because it was getting busy.
We mostly got pizza’s and I got a chicken dish. It was ok, and everyone enjoyed their pizzas. I really like the garlic rolls in the beginning… they were super good.

My family has been patronizing jimmy Dadonna’s for over 15 years and had always found the food and experience to be very good — until last night. Let me start by saying my family never complains In restaurants since my father had been in the business for years prior to retiring last year.
The meal started with the appetizers of fried banana peppers and the artichoke hearts. The banana peppers were cold and two of the four artichoke hearts were frozen in middle. The artichoke hearts were not the same as in the past and appeared to be a frozen off site prepared product. The waitress reluctantly took back the two artichoke hearts and brought back 2 more. For the price they charged, she should have brought back an order of four that were hot and acceptable.
The usually excellent garlic knots were doughy and gummy — not anything like usual. The house salad dressing was lousy and also appeared to have been changed.
After waiting a long time for our meals, the three orders of shrimp Parmesan came out ice cold with the cheese and sauce congealed. The chicken joble was hot, but laden with oil and the sauce had broke. The same can’t be said for the broccoli which accompanied the chicken Joble which was ice cold also. The veal parm never made it to the table as it was lagging behind and our group had decided to end the already pitiful meal.
The waitress was quite «bitchy» and the manager was ineffective and refused to touch her fingers to the cold food and stated that the bottom of the plates were warm. Too bad we don’t eat the plates since those had been in contact with a Warming tray. We left the restaurant with a $ 42 bill for 2 soda pops and the crappy appetizers. Any effective manager would have apologized and said they were having an off night and don’t worry about any bill.
Because of the way this situation was handled we will NEVER return to a jimmy D’s and will let others know of our experience. I suspect many things have changed at Jimmy D’s and these changes will most likely lead to the demise of a previously special restaurant.
