Giacomo's, a family-owned and operated Italian eatery located at 355 Hanover Street in Boston's North End, was ranked among the top 20 best Italian restaurants in the US by the food and recipe site Tasting Table.

The eatery is a fixture in Boston's North End, offering tasty variations on traditional Italian dishes. 

Diners can choose from an array of pasta options including eggplant parmigiana, lobster ravioli, and fusilli siciliana. Those who love to customize their meals can choose a linguine dish with their choice of seafood toppings and one of six available options. 

The menu also has a section of grilled seafood entrees as well as marsala and parmigiana dishes. The eatery also offers specials, meaning there is always something fresh and exciting even for repeat diners. 

Along with its delicious meals, Giacomo's has an intimate atmosphere and stellar service, according to Yelp.

"I understand why there's always a line out the door," wrote one Yelp reviewer. "Get the lobster ravioli - it won't disappoint!"

"They only take cash, so be sure to make a pit stop at the ATM on your way over," wrote another reviewer. "And like credit cards, reservations aren't accepted either, so get here early or be prepared for a long wait on the sidewalk. But you won't regret waiting for a meal at Giacomo's -- in a neighborhood filled with great places to eat, this is as good as it gets. I'll be back whenever I'm visiting Boston!"

Giacomo's is open from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and from 12 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
