The voters have spoken and the results are in. View the complete list

Giacomo's Restaurant

Nominated for: BEST Italian - Traditional

One of the most authentic Italian dining experiences in the city of Boston. There are two locations: the original in Boston's historic North End and the newer in trendy South End. Both spots may have lines out the door on any given night, but it is always worth the wait. Don't forget to finish off the evening with a scrumptious tiramisu.

Why is there a wait for Giacomo's in the North End that wraps around the street corner and you can just walk into a different restaurant down the street? Because it is the best!

They have the best seafood in the North End! I brought my parents here when they came up to visit in Feb, and they still rave about this place.

Get a nightly special. Anything with seafood is usually big. Watch out for the portions though. They're huge.
