" Over the years, I've dined here consistently, and they've generally maintained their standards. However, my recent visit had a few hiccups, mainly concerning temperature on arrival. Nevertheless, the taste still held up, and I can’t deny the charm of a family-run business. You can't go wrong with the Ponza! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want a uniquely delicious experience, try the Ponza at Jimmy's Grotto! The flavors are rich and beautifully crafted with a great balance. I love that they have several options too! But it can get packed, so prepare to wait. It’s worth it, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here after hearing rave reviews about the Ponza Rottas. Overall, I was not disappointed! The food is delicious, no doubt about that. However, I did have to wait longer than expected for my order during a busy lunchtime. The portion sizes were generous, so it was definitely worth it. I'll be returning for more, just don't forget to call ahead! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting Jimmy's Grotto, and I must say it was a great experience! The Ponza I had was so crispy on the outside and soft with a melty center. The flavors were really impressive. Though the place itself could use some updating, the food quality speaks volumes. Highly recommend trying it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in Waukesha, you have to stop by Jimmy's Grotto! I grew up eating their Ponzas, and they're just as good as I remember. It's like a fried calzone loaded with fresh ingredients, and the portions are massive. On this visit, I found the service was a bit slower than usual, but I believe they were dealing with a huge lunch crowd. Definitely a classic! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited for the first time with friends, and it's safe to say that the Ponza rocked my world! It's like a calzone but better - deep fried and overflowing with cheesy goodness. The wait time was longer than expected, but it was worth it for the end product. The service could improve, but the flavors more than made up for it. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a fan of Jimmy's Grotto forever, but my last visit was slightly disappointing. The food seemed less flavorful than usual, and I had to send my order back due to a mistake. When it came back, it was still not what I ordered. Fortunately, when I finally got the Ponza I was craving, it was excellent as always! Just a bit of an off day maybe - next time will be better!
