"I have eaten at this family-run restaurant multiple times and the food has always been outstanding. One thing I really appreciate is that the chef often comes out to the dining area to make sure customers are happy, which is a rare touch. Last night, I tried their carryout for the first time and the spaghetti and meatballs were incredible. I believe their bolognese, while slightly different, is the best I've had since Fanny's of Evanston years ago. The food was packaged well and sealed to prevent any spills. Overall, delicious food and great value."

I was not impressed by the hype surrounding this restaurant. Upon visiting, I found the facility to be quite outdated, resembling something from 20 years ago. The menu was limited, with only a few options available.
Sam
This restaurant offers the best Italian food in the area, along with incredibly friendly and welcoming service. You can't go wrong with any dish you choose, and the portion sizes are fantastic. It's a definite must-visit spot!

Giacomo (Jack) and his amazing wife, Anna, own and operate this legitimate Italian restaurant. Pasta made fresh every day. You can legitimately feel the love in this place. Calamari is excellent, as is the chicken parmesan and marsala (Just ask for it). Great value. Awesome food. Intimate atmosphere. View menu

Authentic Italian. How do I know? My native Italian friend told me so while speaking Italian with a smile on his face and pasta in his mouth. Tables are a little cramped but for the most part not overly crowded when we went in. Good wine selection. Not a place you picture Frank Sinatra but a nice neighborhood joint.
Greg
If you're a fan of authentic Italian cuisine, be sure to visit Giacomo's. As someone who frequently travels to the Chicago area for business, I highly recommend this restaurant. I am on a mission to sample every item on the menu and have never been let down. You won't be either...from the baked clams to the lobster ravioli, everything is delicious.

We have been here several times and love it. Our favorite is the zuppa de peche very unique and delicious seafood pasta. The service is almost always perfect servers are very friendly and the owner and chef (Giacomo) are extremely nice. We did have a server who was rude and condescending to us once, but the owner quickly resolved the issue. We will definitely come back. View menu

Had a business appt dinner here upon recommendations from existing clients. The salmon on spinach was generous and very well prepared. The small side dish of penne with red sauce was a perfect compliment to this healthy dinner. My out of town guest had the shrimp special and was very pleased with his choice. Great hidden gem. Need to take my wife there yet this month as she will enjoy the atmosphere and dinners.
Ben
I've eaten here many times, and have always greatly enjoyed my meal and the service provided. Chef Giacomo does a great job of making unique and authentic Italian dishes at a reasonable price without sacrificing any quality. This restaurant is close to an hour away from my home, and yet I make sure to visit multiple times a year. If you like anything spicy, order the arrabiata sauce at a heat level of 8 or greater. It makes for a fun dish.
