If you don't like to wait in line, don't come here. They make you wait in line, no number, no reservation, no credit. But the food is the real deal. Cheap...read more

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 cramped quarters, patrons are rewarded with heaping plates of high-quality, reasonably-priced Italian cuisine. Patrons looking for the same award-winning cuisine but in a more relaxed setting should make the trek across town to Giacomo's South End location: Here, the speedy waitstaff's singular goal is to keep the line outside moving.
The Food
Faced with a menu that reads like Italian Cuisine 101, diners opt to start with a satisfying caprese salad or some crispy fried calamari before moving onto hulking plates of shrimp scampi and mussels marinara. Fresh, grilled tuna and swordfish steaks are also satisfying. Those hoping for coffee and dessert are out of luck, but an above-average and quite affordable wine list should ease the sting.
