The Scene
Countless patrons consider Giacomo's a second home, regularly bringing in family and friends to feast on large plates of antipasto and classic pasta dishes. Tables are almost always in demand; reservations are essential on weekends. With a slightly larger dining room and a mostly local clientele, visitors can expect a more relaxed environment here than at the restaurant's North End location. Still, on busy nights, prepare for obtrusive noise levels and harried service.

The Food
Every night is pasta night here. The kitchen keeps things simple, allowing diners to create their own entrees by choosing one each from a list of seafoods, sauces and pastas (try the shrimp and scallops in pesto over linguine). Diners with heartier appetites can turn to large, thick steaks or seared salmon filets. For dessert, share a creamy tartuffo or some devilish tiramisu. Prices are reasonable, given the menu's consistently high quality.
