Description

This casual Italian restaurant and wine bar off Lower Shepherd captures the essence of Italian city life and the spirit of the slow food movement. Giacomo's snack plates of rustic Italian food; cheap, easy-drinking wines; great espresso; and top-shelf gelato are the draws. There's also a big comfortable patio where you can hang out.
