Giacomo's Ristorante

Great Italian place! Will be my new go to local spot for Italian. Food was delicious with good size portions. Great value for the price. The ambiance was nice and felt upscale. Waitress was very friendly, kind, and attentive. Only recommendation for service would be to have the rest of front of house staff and those standing at the door more warm and welcoming. We got the Toasted Red Pepper & Goat Cheese Gnocchi. 10/10. Also got the Ricotta Cavatelli with Chicken special. Also 10/10. Highly recommend!

My friend and I had a lovely dinner on Sunday, June 30th. Not knowing the menu and the portion sizes, we managed to order charcuterie, burrata and tomatoe salad and bruschetta for appetizers. Burrata was to die for, fresh and creamy; the charcuterie was delicious too! We didn’t touch bruschetta because we realized we wouldn’t be able to eat the main courses. So it’s still in the fridge, waiting for dinner time. We ordered chicken piccata and shrimps and scallops over linguini in a white sauce for main. Chicken piccata wasn’t very traditional, with may chicken pieces, but very tasty. The shrimps and scallops with linguini was amazing also. The service was outstanding! Many thanks to our server - Mary, for such a pleasant experience. We’ll be back, for sure! And we can’t wait to try other delicious options on your menu.

My husband and I went here last night, one of our favorite Italian restaurants, and as always, the food was delicious! Unfortunately, the service wasn't the best this time. Our waitress started off great, but as the bar got busier, she stepped in as the bartender. After that, someone else brought out our food, and we didn't see her again until we were finished. Our drinks were not refilled and no one checked in to see how everything was. I understand the bar was busy, and it likely wasn't her fault, but once our food arrived the service stopped. The food will definitely bring us back, but I hope they are able to better balance staffing next time.

I was passing through Wayland last Sunday and noticed that there was a Giacomo in the area.. Having fond memories and many a good meal at the former Giacomo's around the corner from me in the South End, I thought I'd stop by try this new location and enjoy some of my old time favorite entrees... WOW ! This location nailed it! Just like I remembered it from back in the day! The tenderloin was tasty and cooked to perfection . My friend had the shrimp and lobster 🦞 with fresh fuscilii. Outstanding!! Oh...and this spot has amazing pizza too! Definitely coming back! Quality value service all there! Thanks for a great meal!

I’ve been to the Wayland location a few times since discovering it after being a long time fan of the North End location. They wayland location is amazing, so much space, parking, reservations. The food is just as amazing as the North End location.

We did a take out for the first time and to my suprise the Veggie Pizza was so soggy with the sauce. Anything we customize dont seem to fit well here. I have dine in person and ordered pizza right off menu which was great so not sure what happened with take out was quite disappointing

We decided to dine in on a Friday night right after 4th of July. It was surprisingly empty for a Friday night. I guess everyone was away for the 4th of July weekend. Im Canadian and googled best Italian food in Boston. Giacomo’s came up as top 10 in AMERICA!! 😮 We ordered calamari. 6 out of 5 stars! Amazing. The calamari was fresh, the batter coated the calamari perfectly and we ordered the large portion. It was huge! We ordered the garlic bread which I felt could have been more garlicky. The meatballs with bucatini was good. The meatballs were great! So well flavoured and moist. We ordered a large pizza and when they say large, they mean SUPER SIZED! It was absolutely humongous. I enjoyed the pizza and our server told us the caramelized onions were a must. I agree! The sausage addition was a bit salty. The butternut squash ravioli were good but more sweet than I wanted. I felt like it needed some saltiness to balance out the flavours. Overall, it was a tasty italian experience in Boston and our server was the loveliest person ever.

Stumbled upon this place today for lunch . I usually don’t write reviews but we enjoyed everything so much that it was necessary. Service was exceptional. Caesar salad was one of the best we’ve had at a restaurant. Lots of tang from the garlic dressing and they gave us a ton of anchovies on the side. Meatball pizza was amazing - crisp crust and delicious sauce. Restaurant is beautiful. We’ll be back when we’re in the area again.
