Giacomo's Ristorante Is Opening in Wayland

by Marc Hurwitz

It looks like one of the most popular Italian restaurants in Boston is expanding once again.

According to a web page, Giacomo's Ristorante is planning to open in Wayland, with the page simply saying "coming soon" and mentioning an Elissa Avenue address within Wayland Town Center. Once it opens, the new spot will join the original Giacomo's in Boston's North End along with another location in the South End and a suburban outlet in Melrose.

The North End location of Giacomo's is known in part for its long lines out the door, as it is particularly popular with tourists and other visitors to Boston.

The address for this new Italian restaurant in Wayland is: Giacomo's Ristorante, 14 Elissa Avenue, Wayland, MA, 01778.

Thanks to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page for bringing this to our attention.

[September 24 update: The Wayland Town Crier reports that Giacomo's will take over the space where Bertucci's had been until closing earlier this year.]

[December 11 update: According to a tweet, Giacomo's is now open in Wayland, with a Facebook post from the restaurant confirming this.]
