Honestly some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. My fiancé and I just found this restaurant by luck and it made our whole trip! Our server Nicole was incredible and I know our experience wouldn’t have been the same without her. Highly recommend and I know we will be back soon! ☺️

Great little spot. Awesome vibe and awesome waitress. Food was very average. Had the soup of the day- bean, sausage and rapini. This was good. For the entree I had another special- pasta with olive oil, garlic, rapini and burrata. It was lukewarm, with badly over cooked pasta and little flavor. There is a $7 bread charge, but the bread was stale. Daniela and Mulberry are much better choices.

Went here for my birthday meal this year. I had the Steak Giacobbi and got the Muddled blackberry bourbon cocktail for a drink.
The steak was cooked to the perfect temp and the meal came with a side of spaghetti as well. My partner had the Tortellini ala Giacobbi which she enjoyed. I liked the steak meal and really enjoyed the cocktail, so I would definitely return to try other things on their menu.
In terms of the service experience, we ate outside as the weather was nice enough for it and we had a great server who was pretty attentive despite covering tables inside and out.

I recently tried the shrimp linguine at Giacobbi's Cúcina Citta, and it was very good. The shrimp, with its delightful seasoning and grill taste, tastes incredibly fresh-was a highlight. The pasta, coated in a creamy garlicky Alfredo sauce, was enjoyable but could benefit from a touch more salt or Parmesan cheese to enhance its flavor. Overall, a satisfying experience.

This is a review for takeout pizza. The crust was barely done with minimal tomato sauce on the "create your own" pizza. The prosciutto pizza was definitely better but really tasted more like garlic bread with caramelized onions in the shape of a pizza. Take out took longer than projected. We'll find a different spot for pizza.

The food, the service, the wine - bravo! Started off with a Caesar salad and a family-owned canned Negroni. Loved the Negroni and will have to look for the van when I get back home. The meatball was everything - so tender! And the red sauce and crostini were fantastic! Main course was the frutti di mare - hot. It was perfect. My waitress made me feel special, and I was never wanting for attention. Excellent!

came here while visiting SUNY Buffalo. Had the bread plate (they charge extra for bread!!!) It was two huge garlic knots and a small french baquette with melted butter and herbs and butter and garlic. Very good, but really, why do i need to pay for bread??? Had pasta ala vodka with peppers and chicken. the peppers totally overwhelmed the pasta and the vodka sauce was way to creamy/ almost milky. couldn't finish it. Had the margherita pizza, tasted more like Dominos pizza. Not sure if I would come back. Service was great though

My daughter wanted Italian for our last night during our visit home to Buffalo. Specifically, she wanted good bread. After searching reviews, we decided on Giacobbi's I gave them a quick call to see if they had a kid's menu and was told they had options for kids and plenty of tables available. Parking: plenty available spots behind the restaurant (access from Delaware Ave.)The restaurant was quaint, with a small outside patio and inside seating was either high tops by the bar or regular seating as well. Our waitress Jenny was friendly and attentive. Kid's options were chicken fingers, small pizza, or pasta. Personally my kids (12 & 13) need a few more options but that's ok. We ordered the House Bread Service and it was amazing. We all loved every bite. Since the kid's options were limited, we ordered the Chicken Marsala and the Tenderloin (from their specials menu) to share. Both were great but the tenderloin was cooked perfectly as ordered and was delicious. The roasted potatoes were fantastic. Can't wait to visit the next time I'm "home" in Buffalo to try some of their pasta dishes.
We had such a good time here. The food was excellent ( and plentiful) and the staff was great. A big shout out to our waitress Nicole for making the evening so memorable.

I was looking forward to coming back here to dine with my 2 Daughters for about a year. My first experience here was fantastic. Best chicken parm I’ve had out. My Daughters favorite dish. Things started out poorly and escalated from there. There was no bread to start off with. Apparently they ran out. Service was on the slow side but, I wasn’t in a hurry and I’ll wait for good food. Second disappointment was my pasta fagioli. It was luke warm at best and the celery and carrots were crunchy. Third disappointment was my Caesar salad. Hardly any dressing on it. Very blah. Then out came the stuffed banana peppers and arincci. Peppers were good, Arincci had a hair embedded in one of them(taken off bill). At this point, I’m thinking the entries will smooth things over. Wrong. Both my Daughters did get their chicken parm and both were decent but, nothing to write home about. Cheese was more on the burnt side and not enough sauce. Not enough sauce on the side of pasta either. I got the spicy rigatoni with chicken. Chicken was very dried out and not seasoned well at all. My rigatoni were dry also. Again, nowhere near enough sauce to flavor it and no spice whatsoever. Needless to say, it was nothing like my first visit and very disappointing to say the least. I go out to eat often and this is the first time I’ve ever left a review.

Gooood italian food. Cuteee restauraunt, lovely and comforting vibes. Staff was super friendly, fun and attentive. We went at around 8pm on a Friday and were seated immediately. Food took a while to come out but nothing to complain about.Overall, worth a visit! The bread service (although an extra 7$) was awesome and very unique. They've got a great menu with a lot of selections, and really good wine. You'll definitely find something to order here.I'd visit again. Live love Allentown
