    I get it was a busy Valentine’s night, but our server couldn’t have been less interested to make our experience better. Took forever to come over the first time, tens of minutes would pass between table checks, had to point out piles of dirty appetizer dishes we stacked for her to remove before putting dinner plates down, and she had a puss on the whole time. Add the noise level and freezing cold corner we were put in, can’t say we’ll be back. Sorry. Food was good though.

    We hadn’t been to Giacomo’s before, and were there on a very busy Saturday night, with a reservation for 8 people for my birthday. We got the end table in the back of the restaurant and we were very tightly crammed into this corner. It’s also right next to a huge window and was very cold. The noise level was EXTREME. We couldn’t hear each other without yelling. It made our overall experience poor. The food and service were good, our waiter Nick was great and despite not writing a thing down, every meal was right. Not sure we’d return solely based on the noise level!
