We came here for dinner the other night having not been to the restaurant for several years. We tend to forget about Giacomos as an option because the only way to make a reservation is to call the restaurant. Upon checking in, we were told that we couldn’t be seated until the rest of our party arrives which is always frustrating when you would like to go ahead and order drinks while waiting. The waiting area is also overrun with cardboard boxes filled with wine, like hoarder lever quantities. I understand that they don’t have a ton of space and probably don’t want to pay for offsite storage but it’s not a great vibe. Once we were seated we were able to order a bottle of wine. Our server was very nice and well intentioned but anytime we asked a question when she came back with the answer she would respond back to the wrong person. She just seemed a little spacey. We ordered several apps for the table and while they were tasty for the most part they weren’t beautiful to look at (which is fine). For my main I ordered the pollo giotto which turned out kind of rubbery and tough. I had a bite of the tagliatelle bolognese and the carbonara which I found to be both bland and a little too far past al dente. In my opinion, the way to go is the hanger steak. That used to be my go to order and when I had a bite of my husband’s I found it to still be on point. Overall I found the restaurant to be extremely loud with food that I wouldn’t want to come back for. That being said, the restaurant was at capacity on a Friday night so there are many people that obviously wouldn’t agree. Also of note, they are not very accommodating for food allergies or intolerances and when you ask they let you know that they generally do not allow substitutions.

My favorite restaurant in Houston. The wine list is incredible and priced so fairly. The bolognese is my favorite, but there are so many great dishes. The tortellini is delicious. An amazing mix of cold and hot starters. The service is always outstanding. Make sure you make a reservation. Wonderful dessert menu that’s sure to satisfy any taste. This is delicious Italian food done right and I’ll visit every time I’m in the area!

Amy, our waitress was so wonderful, kind and had such a sweet energy 🙂 She was really caring and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied and happy with our meals. She even brought us a scoop of their new gelato flavor to try! I believe it was blackberry which was really good!

Just perfect. High level of food without the pretentiousness. Somehow perfect for dates, fancy dinners and casual. Service is great as is the vino. With all the choices we have in Houston I rarely visit the same restaurant twice, but we come to Giacomo’s every few weeks.

I made it a point to eat dinner here before moving out of Houston next week. Best. Decision. Ever.

Dinner crowd on a cold front evening translates to reservations are highly recommended. If you don’t mind the chilly outdoor patio, a few upright heating options were available in the patio. The wind gust negated that warmth generated yesterday evening.

If you want food that looks aesthetically beautiful and tastes as good as it looks, Giacomo Cibo e Vino is the one! I think I literally ate the prettiest fettuccini in Houston. They have so many AMAZING small plates! The meatballs are the best! And the service is excellent!

Nicely lit front and back patios, bustling inside seating, as well. Decent amount of parking but might have to park on the street. Bathrooms are clean. Food was overall fantastic – really enjoyed hawk’s bread, halloumi (which we didn’t realize was used in Italian cuisine until now), and tagliatelle. The veggie dish of Brussels sprouts was also wonderfully flavored and tender. The porchetta was a bit too salty for our tastes and wasn’t a great complement to the other dishes we had.

One of my favorite restaurants in Houston. I’ve never eaten anything here that I wasn’t impressed with – it’s hard to decide what to order because everything is so wonderfully made! They have the best carbonara, and all of their other pastas are delicious as well. Their desserts are phenomenal and the food and wine are priced fairly. Love this place and recommend it highly.

Cute and homey kind of vibe for this place. The food and service was pretty solid throughout. The Gamberi Al Diavolo was delicious and very flavorful. Not too spicy, but just enough to keep wanting more of (and to dunk the baguette in). The Gnocchi Alla Romano was probably the most underwhelming of the dishes as it did eat a little on the dry side. The Tortellini with Parmesan cream sauce was pretty good, but the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese was the star of the pasta dishes we ate. Generous portions of the sauce/meat and perfectly cooked pasta. Being able to order half portions made the entire meal even better. Would definitely come back here.
