What Greg doesn't like about Giacomo's Melrose:
First of all the background music was way too loud. Next, we decided to drive an extra distance to try the Fruta di Mari which was priced online as $21, one of the Chef's Specials. The menu priced it at $29. I brought this up to the waitress. She mentioned it to the manager who refused to honor the online price. A bit of a bait and switch. Then, one of us ordered the Shrimp Scampi, another one of the Chef's Specials.... View all feedback. What Robert Popa Emil likes about Giacomo's Melrose:
The half lobster FraDiablo was the best I've had in 20 years! A mix of little neck clams, muscles, 1/2 lobster linguini with a spicy sauce, a perfect combination. Reasonably priced. View all feedback.

I was in Boston on vacation and we were walking up the north end at prime dinner time.
The absolute best authentic Italian food around! Staff is always on their A-game, and just like walking into an Italian home - all they want is to feed you
Possibly the best meal we had during our short trip to BostonMy friend and I came 15 mins before it opens and there was already a long line outside.
Giacomos is only good for appetizers, salad and an occasional special dish of Osso Bucco. Waitresses are mediocre to apathetic.
Love it! Food was amazing and Huge portions!!!!!! A little too loud (for me) because of the amount of people (which is an AWESOME THING) Overall a 100/100
