We stopped during a road trip as the restaurant was next to our hotel. It was right after the New Year and so was very quiet. I expect the noise level would be higher during a regular business night. Service was attentive. Food came quickly. The meatballs were amazing!

Very over priced for what it is. Caesar salad was 50% wilted lettuce. Came with a pile of lettuce, Parmesan and then two sauce sides of Caesar dressing. Not even made. Pizza was fine, just really over priced.

Stay away from the chicken marsala. It's a crusty piece of chicken with some chunky kind of mushroom mess. It is unattractive and not particularly tasty. The roasted chicken ravioli was the best meal of the 4 ordered. The other 2 were the pizza and ribeye, they were good but not great. Based on taste the price was high.

My party of 5 were all disappointed with Jimmy V's. My chicken was borderline undercooked. I was scared to eat it. My husband's steak was undercooked as well. The pizza is mediocre at best. We waited 45 minutes for our food and the bar/restaurant wasn't busy at all. The table next to us was 4 guys who were loud and obnoxious so that was annoying. I realize that's no fault of the restaurant, but it can get quite loud. Our server was friendly and attentive, but other than that I can't find a reason to return.

Celebrating 36th wedding anniversary Hostess ignored us as we approached her. Bad attitude to greet customers - train her or find replacement. Waitress was good, but was handling too many tables- management needs more waitresses. Drinks took a long time - only one bartender. Food was average. Got home and hours later got very sick. Will not be back

Basically a bar food menu, busy and loud. I requested a great table for an important business meeting but we got sat at the door way in high traffic area with a roof leak. Needless to say Jimmy V’s is NOT recommended and they will not have me as a diner.

This was our first time here. After reading the reviews of others, I wasn't sure if I wanted to try it out, but I know some people just like to complain about every little thing, so I went ahead and made a reservation. First was parking, downtown Raleigh can be a pain when it comes to parking, but we got there a 5 and found a spot right out front YES!!!!! We went in side and were seated immediately. The place is listed as an Italian restaurant but has a sports bar vibe to it. Lot's of photos of Jimmy V around. Once seated, our waiter was quick with our water and took our drink order. This gave us time to look over the menu, its small, only 1 page, but has a variety of options with salads, sandwiches, pizzas, steak, chicken and pasta. We shared a Caesar salad, then my wife had the shrimp scampi and I had the chicken marsala. My wife said the shrimp scampi didn't have a lot of flavor, but was ok. The chicken marsala on the other hand and a ton of flavor. The garlic mashed potato's were very creamy. The marsala sauce was a little thin, more like a soup, but it still tasted good. And like normal, we were too full to have any dessert. If you looking for a casual place to eat, with good service, give Jimmy V's Osteria bar a try .
