The 25 Best Restaurants In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"No one at Giacomo’s is out to impress you, outside of serving excellent carbonara. Here Italian food is served en masse with a gigantic wine list. Everything is fantastic, like the thin-shaved brussels sprouts salad with lemon and pine nuts, or mozzarella-stuffed grilled radicchio with just a kiss of char. The somewhat aloof service gives Giacomo’s even more charm, as does the outdated kitschy interior and the explosion of wine boxes across the restaurant. But despite its chaos, Giacomo’s is for everyone, whether you want a quiet date night or a place to let your toddler smear their face with alfredo sauce." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
