Jimmy Sannino was one of the three sons who inspired 3 Sons, the restaurant that his family ran for forty years. After they finally sold 3 Sons in 2004, his two brothers got out of the business -- but red sauce was in Jimmy's blood.

Today he owns and operates Mama Sanninos, an old-school Italian joint that feels like it's been around forever -- but actually opened just six years ago in an Arvada strip mall.

I review Mama Sanninos this week; here's a side of photos to go with that review. For more, check out our slide show.
