"Don’t expect any sparklers or sprays of white orchids Giacomo’s. This neighborhood Italian spot doesn’t need any showy gimmicks—other than allowing dogs on the patio—to serve you excellent cacio e pepe and natural Italian wine. Everything here is fantastic, like the thin-shaved brussels sprouts salad with lemon and pine nuts, and the mozzarella-stuffed grilled radicchio with just a kiss of char. The somewhat aloof service gives this place even more charm, as does the kitschy interior with an explosion of wine boxes across the restaurant. 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." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
