You might accidentally walk past this cute Italian ristorante...and you would regret it. I walked…read morearound the area for a while before settling at a table by the window in Giacomo's. I was quickly greeted and informed that they were cash-only dining. But fret not, for just inside the doorway is a perfectly placed ATM. It took only a few seconds for me to pinpoint the exact item on the menu that my stomach was craving and my eyes fixed upon...Antipasto for an appetiser and chicken Marsala for the entree. The antipasto dish arrived very quickly and was a beautiful layout. Of course I desired to save some room for the entree but ended up eating about 3/4 of the appetiser before it arrived. The chicken marsala was absolutely perfect, still steaming on the plate as she placed it before me. I told myself I would only eat half the dish and take the rest back to my hotel for snacking later. However, my taste buds are not allow me to stop feasting on this Italian delicacy. If you're ever in the area, don't worry about the other Italian restaurants in the downtown, although I am sure that they are well and good, but Giacomo's is well worth your consideration. My only regret is that I only have one more night here to try another one of their delectable dishes.

Portion size was decent although prices are not cheap (just entree alone will be minimum $30). They specialize in seafood so the only protein options that weren't seafood were chicken or veal. There weren't too many apps that caught my eye, particularly lacking veggies. Service is on the ruder side. They automatically add 20% tip to your bill.

We were so glad that we did because it was excellent. Before I get into food, I want to comment on the amazing level of service that we received. The manager on Tuesday night who seated us and oversaw the restaurant did an amazing job. He has taught his people well. We really enjoyed the excellent service we received from Markus. He was so kind, patient and provided great recommendations. We also thought Juanes did a great job serving us at breakfast. He noticed that my avocado toast had onions and knew I said no onions. He took it back immediately and had it corrected. That's excellent service. Now to the delicious food... The Avocado Toast with feta was the best one that I've ever had. It was so fresh and delicious. You could tell it was all fresh ingredients. I loved the fontina cheese in the Gnocchi alla Bava. It was so creamy and delicious. Some of the lobster that I added was good and others were a little fishy which was too bad. The Saffron Risotto was so creamy and other worldly. We loved it. It paired nicely with my husband's NY Strip Steak which was so tender and flavorful. He loved it and I loved trying it.

I ordered spaghetti and meatballs with homemade angel hair. My youngest son had chicken parm, my oldest son and wife each had something off the specials. All of us enjoyed our meals and the portions are huge. My wife an oldest son had to take to go containers. Food doesn't come out fast, but it is certainly worth the wait.

Everything tasted fresh. Started arancini and bruschetta - both were tasty! Chicken parm with house-made pasta hit all the right notes. Shrimp scampi was very good, not overly garlicky, good size shrimp. Chicken risotto came with a generous portion of risotto and chicken cutlets in a marsala sauce. Saved room for dessert amazingly, and couldn't pass up the cranberry bread pudding, which was fantastic. Perfect balance of sweet and tart, with vanilla gelato to tie it all together.

When we first arrived, the restaurant was fairly quiet. As we settled in, though, there was a steady stream of people stopping in for drinks, and by the time we were leaving, the place had noticeably filled up. The crowd seemed to be mostly locals, and I got the sense that many of them were regulars working their way through the menu one visit at a time. That's always a good sign. We started with a salad that was beautifully prepared. It wasn't overdressed, just lightly tossed with a delicious vinaigrette that let the ingredients shine. For our mains, the chicken parm was excellent--crispy, flavorful, and comforting without feeling heavy. The gnocchi was equally impressive. The dumplings were tender and pillowy, and the pesto tasted incredibly fresh, as if it had just been made that day. It's a simple dish when done well, and this version was done very well. I'd order it again and again.

A few minutes later we were led to a table. Inside was very crowded and dimly lit. The seating was pretty tight. After the waitress took our orders and then the bread arrived. There was olive oil on the table that was used for dipping the bread in. We ordered the lasagna, penne alle Amatriciana, fried calamari, and meatball with ricotta. I got the fried calamari and meatball as my meal. They were very large portions. The calamari was tender but the breading fell off as soon as you bit into it. The way they had the lemon wrapped so that the seeds wouldn't fall in when squeezed was clever. The meatball went well with the ricotta. The texture was good but lacked flavor. My husband enjoyed his lasagna. We all love the sauce. My daughter also liked her penne alla Amatriciana. It was cooked al dente and had slight kick to it. After dinner we shared a cannoli. The food was good if a little expensive. The waitress was friendly but because it was crowded wasnot as attentive as she could be.

I would say our highlight dish was the lamb three ways. We just wish they gave us more food as the portions were very small at times. They really made us feel special on our first wedding anniversary. A great spot to visit for a special occasion.
