Great food, Good Prices, Long Wait

First, there’s always a big line to get in. I went early Friday night and waited outside for half an hour. I’ve heard it can go way past that.

Once you’re in, it’s a small packed restaurant but cozy. If you don’t like eatting near other people you don’t know, you won’t like Giacomo’s.

Once you sit down, everything is very quick (they want to get people in and out). We started with the Calamari, which was very good. We also shared the pasta with clams and mussels with Giacomo sauce, which was very good as well. The pasta menu is mix and match – you choose the seafood and sauce. They also have other italian dishes like chicken parm.

Prices were great for the quality of the food. For two people it was about $30.

What I ate:

Calamari (half order)

Made with spicy peppers to give it a little kick. Worth trying, but not amazing. The half order is perfect for two people.
Pasta with Clams & Mussels, Giacomo Sauce

Seafood was fresh and the sauce was good (although not amazing)
