JM Italian Steakhouse
An Italian steakhouse on Calle Zapata downtown, run by owner Jimmy Maddin, with prime rib, lobster linguine, garlic bread and live jazz at dinner.
JM Italian Steakhouse: Steak, Pasta and Live Music
Owner Jimmy Maddin is often working the room, and plenty of reviews mention him by name. JM Italian Steakhouse is on Calle Emiliano Zapata between Hidalgo and Guerrero, in the grid of downtown streets a couple of blocks from the marina, about an 11-minute walk from Villa 1. The dining room is dressy without being stiff, and live music (jazz, blues and pop) plays at dinner.
Picture an American steakhouse crossed with an Italian kitchen. The cheesy garlic bread is the thing everyone talks about. After that, reviewers in 2026 ordered prime rib, rib-eye, lobster tail with linguine, crab cakes, lasagna, chicken parmesan, veal Milanese, lamb chops, branzino and pesto pasta, then key lime pie or triple chocolate cake. Gluten-free options are available and the kitchen adapts dishes for allergies.
Check the calendar first. JM closes every year from August 1 to October 18 between seasons, and in late September 2026 Google showed it closed for remodeling with a reopening on October 19. In season it's open Monday to Saturday from 4 PM to 9:30 PM and closed on Sundays, with live music from about 6:30 PM. Reservations are through the restaurant's website or by email.
It's a special-occasion price point, but reviews from July to September 2026 are almost uniformly excellent, with generous portions and staff praised by name. It suits couples and small groups who want a proper steak dinner without driving to Pedregal. It also hosts private events (think rehearsal dinner or milestone birthday). Book well ahead for the December holidays.
