The service at Giacomo's is speedy and the food is moderately priced - that's two reasons why people throng to this place throughout the week. Also, the Italian food will have you drooling - the pastas are fresh and cooked to perfection. You can start your meal with a caprese salad and move on to the chicken parmigiana, shrimp scampi, grilled tuna or swordfish steak. This place is always crowded and no reservations are made in advance, so be there early. Also, credit cards are not accepted. One word of advice: don't order everything at once. Take your time and enjoy the meal.

Best place in Boston
This is my kind of place. There are no menus -- you order off of a chalkboard. The line-up changes daily based on what's fresh. Order the Lobster Ala Diabla for parties of 2 or more to share. It's a platter of perfect pasta covered in the best arrabiata / marinara sauce you've ever had and several succulent lobster tails. It's a small, small restaurant so come early to avoid the wait. But don't miss it!
