Giacomo's

Everything was absolutely delicious. We chose the south end over the north end location due to reservations for our large group. I don't order Italian much but this was absolutely worth it. I would recommend this to anyone who had a request for Italian in the area. The staff were friendly as can be.

Wow the food was excellent. It was my birthday and my family wanted itialian food. Just marvelous and atmosphere was friendly and inviting. The waiter was wonderful and helpful. You will not be disappointed. The salmon well seasoned and tender and meatballs where the bomb! The bread and oil where just delightful. You will not be disappointed even the price was right.

We had a fantastic experience here. We came here too early before it opened but the owner was super nice to welcome us to take seats on their patio. He even served warm bread and water for us during the wait. His warmth really lightened our day after a long walk in downtown.
The bread came with fresh olive oil and cheese. It tasted really good but save some to dip your past sauce! We ordered the fried calamari, salmon & sundries tomatoes in Lobster based tomato cream sauce, and the daily special fusilli shrimp and lobster (you can select whichever sauce you like!) Our palate was amazed and the portion was quite large.
This is definitely an authentic Italian restaurant you shouldn’t miss in Boston.

Update 4 /27/2021: Four years later and I'm reviewing my reviews, and I'm required to add that Giacomo's stands as one of my all-time favorite dining experiences. It was the crowded city, where we ended up at a table with other guests, waiters who looked like they could be bodyguards. Mostly I remember the warmth of the experience.

Old review: A lovely, tasty, bright, and alive experience. Great service, great food, lovely decor, the hole in the wall experience gone mighty fine. We arrived at 5:15, but by 6 the place was packed, so make a reservation.
