I was passing through Wayland last Sunday and noticed that there was a Giacomo in the area.. Having fond memories and many a good meal at the former Giacomo's around the corner from me in the South End, I thought I'd stop by try this new location and enjoy some of my old time favorite entrees... WOW ! This location nailed it! Just like I remembered it from back in the day! The tenderloin was tasty and cooked to perfection . My friend had the shrimp and lobster đŠ with fresh fuscilii. Outstanding!! Oh...and this spot has amazing pizza too! Definitely coming back! Quality value service all there! Thanks for a great meal!

My friend and I had a lovely dinner on Sunday, June 30th. Not knowing the menu and the portion sizes, we managed to order charcuterie, burrata and tomatoe salad and bruschetta for appetizers. Burrata was to die for, fresh and creamy; the charcuterie was delicious too! We didnât touch bruschetta because we realized we wouldnât be able to eat the main courses. So itâs still in the fridge, waiting for dinner time. We ordered chicken piccata and shrimps and scallops over linguini in a white sauce for main. Chicken piccata wasnât very traditional, with may chicken pieces, but very tasty. The shrimps and scallops with linguini was amazing also. The service was outstanding! Many thanks to our server - Mary, for such a pleasant experience. Weâll be back, for sure! And we canât wait to try other delicious options on your menu.

We love going to this place. Great atmosphere and food is delicious
The absolute best Italian restaurant in the area!!! So glad I found this gem. And the prices are soooo inexpensive. $22 for chicken piccata and many yummy dishes under $20. Grubhub also did not disappoint. Our food was here quickly and hot. Iâm just in awe of the prices. I ordered two meals for $42 and Iâll have left overs all week. The meals were definitely on the larger side. I didnât even need salt or pepper because both dishes were absolutely perfect. I will be telling my local town groups about this place.
The food was great! About half the table had seafood dishes and everyone commented that it was cooked perfectly (scallops, mussels, shrimp etc. ), which seems pretty hard to do in a complex dish.
Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Weâll definitely be back!
Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of tables and booths with open ends for wheelchair access. Dining floor was fairly open.

I have a severe food allergy and they are always very accommodating. Kerry was our server and she was excellent! What a great place and very reasonable price point for quality food

Saturday night dinner at Giacomo's for my teenage son's birthday. Went specifically for their zuppa di pesce, one of his favorites.
Called ahead to for a reservation, which I recommend, especially on a Saturday night. We were greeted warmly and seated fairly quickly. The dining room consists of several booths around the perimeter, tables for 2 or 4 closely spaced in the middle and a bar with several seats in a corner. Despite the open kitchen, the noise level is reasonable.... We could converse easily without shouting.
Our server, Kerry (sp?), was warm, quick and efficient. She was friendly and professional.
We had fried calamari as an appetizer. Perfectly, hot, crisp and tender.
As an entree, we ordered a zuppa di pesce, scampi style, for 3. This enormous pasta masterpiece is the only entree I've ever eaten at Giacomo's (this was my 5th time). It's THAT good! Linguine with a whole lobster, shrimp, scallops, calamari, clams (in shell), and mussels (in shell) in a scampi broth. Photo below.) You pay market price ($72 today), but it was worth it, especially since we took enough leftovers home for another 3 servings. Absolutely deliciously decadent!
Kid-friendliness: They have a kids' menu, but this is very much an adult restaurant.
Wheelchair accessibility: All ground level. Bathrooms have wheelchair accessible stalls. Plenty of accessible tables.

Frequent patron. Tough part is what to order! Appetizer of shared sausage pepper and onion pizza for the table đđ» Veal saltimboco was awesome. Finished with crĂšme brĂ»lĂ©e. Excellent all around
