Great for happy hour

Jimmy V’s Osteria & Bar is a unique and modern restaurant was created with Jimmy Valvano’s passion and commitment to excellence, and a percentage of the restaurant’s revenue is donated to the V Foundation. Jimmy Valvano’s love for food is the influence behind our menu creation featuring local and seasonal dishes with an emphasis on delicious Italian/American down to earth and traditional comfort foods using local farm grown ingredients and straightforward preparations. Also, our culinary team focuses on shareable small-plates, to encourage groups to socialize in a convivial atmosphere, which is warm and inviting for family gatherings, a night on the town or toasting drinks with friends.

The food came out swiftly but our waiter was absolutely terrible. He barely spoke to me and my husband. He was more interested in just standing there holding a conversation with the host. The manager was very pleasant. My wings were overcooked but the white burger my husband ordered and the forager pizza I ordered was delicious. Even when I needed the bill and Togo box the manager had to bring those things and when our waiter brought back the check he just dropped it on the table and left. I can understand if we were some difficult customers but we are always so chill and there to enjoy food. Our experience was MEH!

Terrible experience, first time here. We were seated at a few minutes before reservation time but waited 25 minutes to receive side salads & then hour and 15 minutes to get our entrees. Obviously the staff could not handle the larger group tables & our party of two efficiently. My mojito had brown gross mint leaves, yuck. The chicken piccata was delicious. Our server ignored us probably because she had nothing to say but checking in would have maybe made us feel welcome.

We were not happy to see the 88 restaurant rating at check in for our 6pm reservation. But we stayed. We went for our son‘s 21st birthday. I ordered the fig flatbread. I was not pleased with it only ate a few bites, and the rest of our meals were smash meatball sandwich was pretty good, the Jimmy V pizza was OK, the chicken parmesan sandwich was just OK and the birthday boy enjoyed his spaghetti and meatballs. We’ve been two other times and enjoyed that much better.
