Jimmy’s Place

Jimmy’s Place has served Italian food on Madison Street since 1998, more than 25 years in the same Forest Park storefront. Thin crust pizza and homemade pastas are the draw, and the rest of the menu is old-school: chicken Vesuvio, chicken Parmesan, baked clams, grilled salmon and the sides that go with them. The restaurant says the Food Network has featured the kitchen and that the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune have written up the restaurant. Jimmy’s Place sits at 7411 Madison St between the tea shop and the ice cream parlor, a few blocks north of the Blue Line terminal, with metered street parking and a village lot nearby.
