Not Your Average Restaurant

We were excited to learn all about Jimmy’s Italian Specialties and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Frank.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Jimmy’s Italian Specialties stand apart from its competitors. Frank told us that this business was started by his parents in 1974 and was originally opened as a local gift shop, but that it quickly evolved into something more once they started baking fresh bread. Soon, it transformed into what it is today! Frank told us about their continuous commitment to providing fresh food and to offering their customers fantastic service:

“We make all our food fresh from scratch in our kitchen. We always make our customers feel like they are a part of the family.”

Building Success By Being Consistent

Jimmy’s Italian Specialties has gained an incredible reputation, and Frank said that they have gotten their name out by mailing flyers and by doing in-store promotions.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Jimmy’s Italian Specialties has managed to. We asked if Frank could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“Be genuine. Be consistent. Love your customers; learn their names; show them that they matter to you, and in turn, you and your business will matter to them.”

Frank ended our chat with this lovely sentiment:

“We’ve been in business for 45 years, and we would like to thank our customers for being loyal, returning patrons of our restaurant. We hope to be in business for another 45 years!”


Congratulations to Jimmy’s Italian Specialties for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Frank for taking the time to speak with us!
