| About: | The service at Giacomo's is speedy and the food is moderately priced - that's two reasons why people throng to this place throughout the week. Also, the Italian food will have you drooling - the pastas are fresh and cooked to perfection. You can start your meal with a caprese salad and move on to the chicken parmigiana, shrimp scampi, grilled tuna or swordfish steak. This place is always crowded and no reservations are made in advance, so be there early. Also, credit cards are not accepted. One word of advice: don't order everything at once. Take your time and enjoy the meal. |

Giacomo's let me start....got there early service was fast waitperson seemed liked she was in a rush...food was ok, nothing to go crazy about have had better at other places within 5 minutes walk....but the reason I will never go back....is while your eating wait people constantly asking if your done, I noticied at all the tables around me....the restaurant is quite small.....never again
Giacomo's is hands down my favorite restaurant in the Boston area. My wife and I love the mom-and-pop hole in the wall feel here. Half Lobster pasta with red sauce is AMAZING here - can't get enough of it. If I didn't know about health laws I'd think they put cocaine in their food because it tastes so good. The prices are very reasonable as well. Expect to wait a good 45 minutes to an hour to get in the door. Be sure to try the fried calamari as well - the jalepeno's they put in make it absolutely delicious!
Best restaurant in the North End!: I've eaten at Giacomo's at least three times in the past year or so and I am never disappointed. It can be crowded, and you want to get there as they open the doors, but it is wonderful. Take the time to chat with the staff - they're great, as are the other patrons - most of them are regulars. I would go more often, but I live almost four hours away.
