We are building on Tony’s foundation of excellent food and a welcoming atmosphere, and taking this important Valley institution forward for future generations. The Giacomini family are third and fourth-generation marinates who make their home just down the road from the Roadhouse. Their Marin roots were planted by Noel Giacomini, who moved to Marin in the 1930s from San Francisco. Noel was a big band conductor whose orchestra often played at the many venues that dotted Marin County in those days, including the Marin Town and Country Club and Litchfield’s. Since Noel, music has been an important part of life in the Giacomini household, a love that will be continued at the Roadhouse in the form of local live music. Noel’s cousins Toby, Ralph, Waldo and Fred Giacomini were all dairy ranchers in West Marin and their families carry on in agriculture to this day. Noel’s son Gary was a six-term Supervisor for the 4th District in West Marin and was one of the Rebels with a Cause who helped save open space in West Marin and beyond. The Giacomini family’s history in agriculture and environmental protection is what motivates them to create a menu that supports local farmers and features high-quality, accessible and ethical food. The Giacomini family is committed to supporting their local agricultural community and to feeding everyone well! Andrew and Susi Giacomini and their children Dante, Nicolo and Andrea were all born and raised and still reside in the San Geronimo Valley. Andrew worked his way through school working for 15 years in Italian restaurants as a waiter and dining room manager and has always wanted to own a restaurant. His wife Susi is indulging this mid-life dream, while adding her special touches to the restaurant decor as well as the redesign of the Inn, which should be completed by Summer 2022. Learn more about our Purveyors Andrea, Susi, and Andrew Giacomini Dante, Andrea, and Nicolo Giacomini Our Chef - Miguel Silverio Miguel Silverio grew up in small-town Veracruz, Mexico with his sister and two brothers. His grandparents, who raised him, taught him to cook in their restaurant, Oaxaca Valley, named for the place they first met. His grandmother’s paternal descendants immigrated from Italy so he grew up learning to cook both Mexican and Italian food, which influenced Miguel’s love for cooking and his personal style. At 14, Miguel immigrated to Los Angeles. Eventually, he became a line cook at Junior’s, a family owned, jewish deli, bakery and popular restaurant. Junior’s is where Miguel formed his connection with professional cooking and developed his early technical skills, such as the ten day process to corn beef, knowledge he preserves every Brunch at Giaco’s through our Corned Beef and Hash! In 2011, Miguel visited friends in the Bay Area and he realized he was tired of the big-city environment and loved the small-town community–it reminded him of his childhood home, being surrounded by nature, cows, and horses. Since then, he’s worked in a litany of restaurants that have shaped him into the well-rounded Chef he is today. Perhaps the most important of these markers was the French Laundry, where he had an amazing experience as a line cook; the high pressure environment and steep learning curve made him a better, more refined chef. Other important stops along the way were Farm Shop in Larkspur, where he worked for six years in a sous chef capacity, and Le Garage, a restaurant in Sausalito, where he strengthened his foundational French cooking. The owner was an important mentor for Miguel who saw his potential as a chef and pushed him to be more ambitious. Although he continued to work at Farm Shop, he desired a change of pace that led him to the former Two Bird Café. Luckily, when the Giacomini family took over, he agreed to become the Head Chef of Giaco’s Valley Roadhouse. Miguel is now the heart and soul of our growing, small business. He enjoys the opportunity to run his own kitchen and create new and interesting choices for our customers. As a philosophy, Miguel is inspired by Mediterranean and Latin flavors and finding the freshest seasonal and local ingredients to bring to the restaurant. The small environment of Giaco’s allows Miguel to tailor dishes to our local clientele and what they like, to give back to the customers who support our business. More importantly, he has helped create and preserve the family environment in the kitchen and restaurant. We are a team and a family here at Giaco’s, one that works together and takes care of each other, inside and outside of the restaurant. Miguel now lives in the San Geronimo Valley with his lovely wife Wendy and beautiful sons, Emiliano and Nico. He and his family are very happy and grateful to live in such a beautiful area and be a part of our Valley community. Miguel’s free time is spent with his family. They enjoy hiking and cooking together. His son Emiliano loves to cook, especially breakfast. It brings Miguel a lot of joy to cook with his sons, to visit memories and pass on the knowledge, and to have that same quality time with his sons that he had with his abuela . In other words, it is his family, past and present, that inspire Miguel’s cooking. A taste of love that can be felt in every bite at Giaco’s.

Our room was perfect. Amazing muffins and scones were dropped off by our front door every morning. Restaurant next door is cute and convenient for a meal anytime of the day. Very peaceful and quiet but just minutes to all the shops and restaurants in Fairfax and San Anselmo. Would definitely stay again! Ted, March 2024 Perfect short getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Private, cozy, and outstanding hospitality. Leandro, October 2023 The place is immaculate and thoughtfully designed. We enjoyed sitting in the back patio with the fire pit on. The location is also great and easy to reach because it's situated right between the bustle of the 101 corridor and the Pt Reyes peninsula. Ideal for going in any direction while being in a lovely and quiet sanctuary. Halim, June 2024 This place is a gem! We had a wonderful 5-day stay and got to explore many spots nearby. There are great places to eat in Fairfax, Point Reyes Station, and Marshall. And also many beautiful trails within minutes. The place is also super comfortable and so thoughtfully equipped. I’d be up to visit again! Jen, January 2024 Beautiful place! Great for my 🐕. The Inn has a great Restaurant. Angela, October 2023 Such a beautifully decorated room and darling private garden with a fire pit. We felt such peace and beauty inside and out of our room. The amenities were plentiful and so perfect. This is a place we will definitely visit again!
