The Scene
Giacomo's popularity, coupled with a strict no-reservations policy, means that on most nights (regardless of the weather) a line will spill out the door and onto bustling Hanover Street. Once inside the dining room's… Read Full Editorial
Good value for authentic Italian food by gethebassics via Citysearch on 3/5/2010
I went here a few years ago, and remember being underwhelmed in comparison to how long I had to wait to get inside. The food was definitely good - not specifically memorable, although the gnocchi was fantastic. And for no more than $15 an…
ALL BLOW AND NO SHOW!!!! by bobco99 via Citysearch on 1/11/2010
I have heard alot of hype about this place since moving here. In the summer, there are always lines out the door so I waited until the winter to check it out. This place is all blow and no show!!! The "fresh pasta" is not so freash. I can…
Scrumptious by gmlinyc via Citysearch on 8/19/2009
We first came August of 2007 -recommended by one of my co-workers. My husband and I loved it! The food, especially the seafood, is fresh and mouth watering. We came to Plymouth this past weekend (8/14/09) and had to drive here for…
Fast Service Sloppy Preperation by LEE7 via Citysearch on 8/14/2009
Went on a date here, not the best place to go for a date but thats ok. It smelled amazing inside but the food didn't match the smell. The calamari was chewy=overcooked. My ceasar salad was douced in dressing and my main course had a…
Amazing Food, Long Wait by Amber K via Insider Pages on 7/25/2009
Giacomo's North End is a fantastic restaurant but the wait can be unbearable. The wait is more than worth it once you get in but I generally opt for Giacomo's South End because you can make reservations and it's less of a tourist trap. The…

Giacomo's - a must try! by F W via Insider Pages on 5/4/2009
Don't be afraid of the line you see. And, yes it's usually always there, but it's well worth the wait! This is one of my favorites in the North End. Great people, great food - no matter what you try! I've never been disappointed. I am…

Yummy Italian by Karalyn12 via Citysearch on 3/19/2009
I have only been to the location in the Southend and from what I hear it is the better of the two in regards to crowds. Excellent food, cheap prices. Wait Staff is extremely busy and would rather not chat during peak hours. I would…
This Place is Fun and and icon of Boston! by nelsonsky via Citysearch on 2/18/2009
How much fun was this? We waited in line for 1/2 hour,then all those ahead of us were taken in., We were then, the next in line for the second service. We waited 45 min. more making friends of others standing in line all anticipating what…
Fight the hype... by johnnydlaw via Citysearch on 2/14/2009
Way too much hype over this little spot. First, the entire experience is rushed. You can hardly sit down before they're asking for your order. Good menu selection (they push their seafood). Food is fair; ceaser salad is pretty good. …
BEST ITALIAN FOOD by mlalli via Citysearch on 2/6/2009
The best Italian restaurant in the US! not just Boston.... the only place my family and I go when we make a trip to Boston. Well worth the wait.
delicious by kdes05 via Citysearch on 2/3/2009
the menu is on a chalkboard and it's really cozy. After waiting in the long line we we sat at a table and had great waitstaff that really treated us well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant just be prepared for a long line on…
Good food, a little too much hype by spin84 via Citysearch on 1/14/2009
Great food, but overall I was underwhelmed. Better italian can be had in the North End, for sure...
OUTSTANDING!!! by sndavis via Citysearch on 1/6/2009
My wife and I absolutely LOVE the food! The waitstaff is friendly and always running around doing whatever they can...It is so much better than the places with the big names, and VERY reasonably priced. The portions are huge, and the…
Stay Away by lauralegendre via Citysearch on 12/18/2008
Just came from here. This place is not as great as everyone has said. I got the wrong order and they still charged me for the meal with now replacement. Stay Away! There are better places than this hole in the wall. LL
Fun restaurant by Michael P via Insider Pages on 10/30/2008
The food here is great and they bring it out very quickly. It's a loud and bustly restaurant, but it's a lot of fun to dine. The line is horrendous however, and the wait can take longer than an hour.
Pumpkin Tortellin - Awesome - Great Service (Donna was the terrific!) by MSGH2929 via Citysearch on 6/3/2008
Had a mozzarella appetizer. It was really great. 3 slabs of crispy fried cheese - YUM! Then the pumpkin tortellini. Normally, not a fan of pumpkin, but this dish was so light with a subtle sweet pumpkin flavor. Waited in line for 30…
The Big Line on Hanover St. by Pamela B via Insider Pages on 12/9/2007
When you are walking down Hanover St. and you see the huge line of people waiting for a table, it's most likely Giacomo's. The food is devine. Authentic Italian cuisine at it's best. The atmosphere is busy and loud, but inviting. The…
BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI...NUF SAID! by howai via Citysearch on 11/28/2007
But i'll go on about how great this place is. Given the fact that there is a line all year (even for the locals) it is well worth it. If you go, without a doubt, try the butternut squash ravioli. They are incredible. Get them as an…
