This Monmouth County, NJ Restaurant Has To Be On Your 2022 Bucket List

"I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart."

I was watching The Godfather Part II last night and it finally gave me the urge to write this article. If you read my stuff, as you know, I love going out and exploring what the great Jersey Shore has to offer. We have beautiful beaches, awesome businesses, and phenomenal food. The Jersey Shore also has legendary landmarks that people all over the country appreciate. Just in Asbury Park alone, there is Convention Hall, The Stone Pony, and the Silverball Retro Arcade...

To think one time I was in Austin, Texas and one Texan couldn't believe I grew up minutes away from the Stone Pony. He was literally speechless! He said that he always wanted to explore Asbury Park. For many people throughout the country, Asbury Park is simply a fantasy...

We really do live in a unique and special place...

If you have sat down and eaten dinner there, you know what I mean. Jimmy's is located more inland on Asbury Ave. It was founded in 1982 by the late Jimmy Marrucca and his wife Diane. In the early 80's they opened in hopes of people not wanting to go to New York City to eat authentic Italian food. That business plan worked and 40 years later Jimmy's is still making an impact. They offer tremendous food and a friendly, family atmosphere where "Good Friends Come to Meet".

As you make your way into Jimmy's you simply get an old-school Italian vibe. No windows!! It's awesome, it's unique, and it's one of a kind. I LOVE IT. It's a place you really should check out if you have never been there before. In 2022, it's sad to say but there are not many places like Jimmy's that are still standing. Of course, the food was tremendous. We ordered a variety of things and everything was delicious.

They are open for indoor dining and you can call to make a reservation at 732-774-5051. Check out the menu HERE. Have fun and enjoy this New Jersey landmark!
