Jimmy V's Osteria & Bar

We just had the meatball appetizer and a beer, so I can't give a full review until we have an entree. Being an large open space it is sort of cold inside on Thanksgiving weekend, but they had just opened. The meatballs were good, service friendly, and we like the openness of the space.

Not just a hotel restaurant! It’s a great restaurant that just happens to be attached to a Sheraton downtown Raleigh! Great Italian cuisine at affordable prices! We made reservations for a Tuesday, not sure how busy it gets on weekends. Food was great, staff was fantastic, and the Turtle Cheesecake was superb! By the way, the kid’s spaghetti and meatballs was enough to feed a grown man! We sat in a small private room that seats about 8 people. Either park on the street or in a parking lot/garage. It is on Fayetteville Street downtown.

I liked its placement in the hotel for breakfast and its variety of options with golf and the rest of the city being just outside. The Brioche French toast was so flawless and rich I came back for more a second day. The Meatball smash was not what I expected as they literally smashed the meatball into the burger, but it was the best burger I have tasted my entire life.
