RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- It was an early start to Thanksgiving preparations at Jimmy V's Osteria & Bar in downtown Raleigh, where diners started showing up Thursday morning.

"We have over 100 people dining with us through lunch and dinner at the minimum. So far, we've had some repeat customers, some people coming and visiting their friends and family which has been a treat to have as well," said Manager Lauren Fisera.

As one of the few restaurants open in downtown Raleigh, it's an opportunity to reach a broader clientele.

"We definitely have the opportunity to have new faces in here," Fisera said.

On top of their regular menu, they have one special meal for children and two special options for adults.

"They're always very excited to hear what we have going on," shared Fisera.
