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.
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!

I made it a point to eat dinner here before moving out of Houston next week. Best. Decision. Ever.
We were able to be seated immediately at the bar since we didn’t have reservations. Our sever was very attentive and thorough. The garlic bread on grilled ciabatta bread blew my mind. Trike delicious and a must-have. I love that there is an option to do half orders on some of the pasta! I had to take advantage and ended up getting to try three different pastas! Never had an experience quite like it.
They have an extensive wine menu as well! The parking lot is rather small and located in the back. Definitely recommend making reservations! We hope to visit here the next time we find ourselves in Houston!

Excellent. Food. Service. Highly recommended. What to get? Bruschetta Classica (excellent), Tagliata de Lombatello (good), Linguini Giacomo (excellent), Pollo Giotto (excellent), Orechiette Giorgione (excellent) and Chianti Classica is a good fruity red vine with a nice bouquet.

Fantastic food!! Visiting some Houston friends and they know I love Italian. Bullseye!!
Really interesting menu with house made pastas. We tried the bolognese which is so flavorful!! The tortellini is really tasty. The menu is so full of interesting options. And the wine list is gigantic. The chocolate cream pie is light and loaded with flavor.
Our waitress had wonderful suggestions and couldn't have been nicer!
Maybe best of all the prices are really affordable for a place that delivers this kind of quality food. Hope to be back on this visit! Bravo ... molto bene!!

Came to this restaurant for date night and it was a wonderful experience. We didn't have a reservation and luckily they were able to seat us. The waiter was extremely friendly and prompt with us. He went over the specials for the day and the wines. We ordered 2 glasses of wine and an appetizer. The shrimp appetizer was very good with a sauce that was perfectly crafted for it.
For our main courses we got the fettuccine special, which came with shrimp and it was heavenly. A very refreshing summer dish that was well balanced and had plenty of shrimp in it.
Also got the tortellini in cream sauce and these did not disappoint. The cream sauce was very good and the tortellini were filled with a mushroom mixture that was delicious.
We left the restaurant stuffed and very satisfied. We will be back to this for sure.

The food was amazing. The meatballs are to die for. However, the real highlight was the service. Daniel was our waiter and he made the experience worthwhile.

What a hidden gem! Our first time!
Hawk’s garlic bread… oh yea! Refreshing salad. The bolognese was a perfect savory with a very tiny echo of sweet from the awesome meat sauce. The portions are Very generous. Service was top notch!

Don't mess around, just go here. Food is fantastic, the homemade pastas are so tasty, cooked to perfection. The wine selection is very good, goes well with the food. Lots of hard to fine bottles. The owner is super nice, and the folks behind the bar know how to pair

Eaten here a few times and it’s now our go to for Italian food! My wife and I have had an awesome time making Italian food at home, which has made us a little more picky when it comes to Italian. This place is totally worth it! We’ve tried different dishes every time we’ve come and have yet to be disappointed. Can’t wait for our next trip.
