    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.

    We had a great dining experience at Giacomo's Ristorante. The food was delicious, well-prepared, and thoughtfully presented. Every dish we tried had great flavor, and the portions were just right. The service was also very good—our server was attentive without being intrusive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The ambience was a mix of pros and cons. The overall atmosphere was warm and inviting, but the lighting was a bit dim, which made reading the menu slightly challenging. Additionally, the noise level was on the louder side, making conversation a bit difficult at times. Despite those minor drawbacks, I’d still recommend Giacomo's Ristorante for a solid dining experience with great food and service. It’s a spot worth visiting, especially if you don’t mind a livelier setting.
