What People Are Saying About Giacomo's Ristorante
The Editor
Eric Grossman
Citysearch
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…

Scrumptious
by gmlinyc at Citysearch
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 dinner. We could not pass it up! As usual the Zuppa di pesce for two with the wine was out of this world! We'll be back!
- Pros: Best Seafood ever
- Cons: Waiting on line - but worth it

Fast Service Sloppy Preperation
by LEE7 at Citysearch
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 strange B.O like flavor it was a special and I thought it was going to be way better. I asked if the sauce was light or heavy and the waitress said it was light but it wasnt . Wasnt a fan. Some good things about the restaurant were that it was quick and the waitresses were not about BS and savoring the moment.
- Pros: Quick, Well Priced
- Cons: Sloppy, over seasoned

The Details on Giacomo's Ristorante
The Extras:
Your credit cards are no good here, so come with cash. If you forget, there are ATMs all over Hanover Street.
Know Before You Go:
To avoid being rushed out the door by zealous waiters, order your meal course-by-course instead of all at once.
Save Money:
Cash-strapped couples should opt to split any of the restaurant's massive pasta dishes, which are more than large enough to share.
