“Home of the Ponza Rotta”

Jimmy's Grotto has been a Waukesha icon since 1946 and is still one to this day. If you have not tried a ponza then you are truly missing out, so come on down and enjoy the Jimmy's Grotto experience . Jimmy Rucci had been tending bar in downtown Waukesha for several years, when he and his wife Rosie decided to try their hands in the restaurant business. So, to the surprise of their neighbors, they tore the fourth story off their brick home and reassembled it next to the house. Little more than a small brick shack, Jimmy's Grotto opened for business August 15, at 311 E. Main St. The first day, they sold nearly 200 Italian Sausages.
