Giacomo's Cibo E Vino Description:
Chef Lynette Hawkins' venture is a far cry from the elegant La Mora, an eatery she ran for years. Giacomo's is cute and airy with counter service only. Inside it's all bright colors and retro styling: only the trellised patio has a hint of Italy. But the kitchen hums with pure Italian flavors, serving up cichetti e l'ombra---small hot and cold plates. Choose from ready-made dishes that include braised tomatoes stuffed with herb risotto as well as our favorite, the spicy lamb meatballs. It's easy to make a meal from the prepared dishes, although you can also opt for made-to-order items like the gnocchi di funghi porcini, a porcini potato gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream in a hearty mushroom sauce. Lamb, turkey, fish and pork dishes are all natural, and Hawkins uses a lot of local produce in her creations. The wall-size blackboard lists hundreds of boutique wines from Italy, France, Spain and the U.S. that are available in three- and six-ounce pours.
