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...

Boston's Italian North End is at its best at Giacomo's. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and the food is superb.

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...

I visited Boston for the first time last weekend and a friend recommend Giacomo's in the North End. It is very small but rather lively. We went late, around 9:30 on a Friday night so we didn't have to wait....

Small place, seating is crampted but it is all worth it. This is definitely not a place to propose or have a long conversation with someone as lines do form outside regardless of the weather and the service is...

I am visiting Boston and it was my first time in the North End. I did my reserach online first including going to citySearch to find the right place to eat. So many choices, couldn't decide. So me and a friend...

I live right near Giacomo's, so I see the line down the street every night of the week. I happened to pass by around 5 on a weekday once, and since there was no line, we decided to check out what all of the...

As a local to the North End neighborhood this place never steers people wrong. Though the turnover is quick and the line tends to become long, it's always worth the wait. The food is inexpensive and delicious....

Giacomos is great! I love the informal ambiance, the prices can't be beat, and the servers are hysterical. This is the best place in the North End for a fuss-free Italian dinner. Always be nice to other...

Tony was my enthusiastic waiter who served me the best pesto, lobster, mussel, clam dish I've ever had. Their pesto is even better than my own. A single traveler, I didn't feel rushed or unwelcomed. The vino...

I have always known Giacomo's to be a great restaurant. But last night I had a disappointing experience when I took my family from NH there for an early dinner. We were bullied into ordering the moment we sat...

This is possibly the best food I've had in Boston. Started with the fried calamari, which was absolutely perfect. The pumpkin tortellini was just perfect. The two people I was with tried two of the specials...

The atmosphere is energetic. The food is outstanding. The one drawback is that you have to stand in line outside on Hanover Street but even that can be fun. You can meet some interesting people!

I manage, one way or another, to hit the place every time I'm in Boston. The waits can be long, but the food is well worth it. If you're going alone, you can sneak in front of people at eat at one of the two...

The editor's review above is dead-on. Excellent food and service that's worth the wait, but first-timers may find the rushed and cramped atmosphere a little grating. However, for me it is now part of the draw...

Food is very basic Italian. It's a no thrills type of menu but the food is fantastic! Atmosphere tends to get a bit loud and can be cramped and crowded. Best for meeting friends, etc, not if you are looking...
