“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.
