    From start to finish, we had a great experience at Giacomo's. The food was excellent and the service was top notch. All five of us loved our meals and the drinks were equally as good! Already looking forward to returning!

    The most frustrating part was having to wait 45 minutes for a table, when we were on time for our reservation. The noise level is ridiculous, and the restaurant should figure out how to soften the acoustics. Food was served hot and it was good.
