    Both of us had mussels & calamari over linguini, one scampi sauce and one Giacomo’s sauce. Both were large portions and excellent as was the chapped salad. However, the noise level was way too loud and we needed to practically yell be heard even though we were seated at a nice table by the front window. Near the bar area it was worse. Next visit won’t be on a busy Saturday evening.

    Food was good, as you would expect, and service was great as well. Martinis were excellent. But it was SO loud. Party of 2 and we couldn’t hear each other from across the table and our waiter couldn’t hear us when we ordered, either.

    Giacomo’sis one of our favorite restaurants. It’s predictable in the very best way. We have never had a bad meal there. We love the lively, family ambiance. I had The ravioli special- delicious. The drinks are amazing.

    The food, service and atmosphere was great. Our meal was excellent, we started with the buratta and an order of calamari which was cooked perfectly . The pasta dishes for dinner were great and the dessert of tiramisu complimented the evening. We’ll be sure to dine there again.

    Food was very good but the restaurant was extremely noisy making conversation almost impossible. A shame about the noise because the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice.
