We had a 7 pm dinner reservation a couple weekends ago. It was our first time trying this restaurant and also visiting Danville. The street parking was all filled up by the restaurant so we turned to the back side of the block where we found a small lot for the restaurant and a much bigger parking lot across the street. The restaurant was filled and busy for dinner. We were quickly seated at a table against the wall. The ambiance and look of the restaurant is quite nice. Each table seems to have little coat rack stands for hanging jackets and purses; a nice touch that I don't often see. The service was overall great our waiter explained the specials and gave us time to look through the menu. We were given a bread basket, standard - nothing astonishing. We ordered 3 items: Truffle Fries, the Gemelli, and Mostaccioli. The Truffle Fries were reminiscent of those at fast food restaurants, but the truffle flavor made it unique and a nice appetizer. We didn't wait too long for our pastas to arrive.The Gemelli was hearty and filling but the Mostaccioli was the most memorable. The Gemelli features lamb sugo which was flavorful and soft. Our favorite was the Mostaccioli because of the cream sauce. It was super flavorful and was much more unique than the Gemelli.Overall the service was wonderful and the portion sizes are great for how reasonably priced everything is.

We came here improperly for a nice romantic dinner. The waitstaff was lovely and attentive. We chose to sit outside and they were attentive about the heaters. We had our little doggy with us. Complimentary focaccia. We had the bruschetta which had a great balsamic to it. Then we had the Gemelli and the day special which was a Truffle Lasagna. Both were soooo good. Then for dessert was the Tiramisu, one of my favorites because I can taste the alcohol in it. All in all a perfect dinner date

Our experience at Incontro Ristorante was awesome. The ambiance is comfortable, nothing fancy. There is outdoor seating with heaters to keep all warm during cooler evenings. The service was very good. All of our selection of foods we ordered was excellent. For an appetizer, we ordered the Truffle Fries. The Potatoes, Parmigiano cheese and truffle oil gave a very earthy flavorful starter. For dinner, I ordered the Shrimp alla Griglia which consist of grilled shrimp with fregola pasta, garlic zucchini, lemon and parsley. It was the first time I had fregola pasta, which looked like risotto. It was very good. The overall flavor was savory and authentically Italian. The House made Lasagne consisted of lasagna cooked in a beef ragu, bechamel, with and mozzarella. Very tasty and flavorful. Another selection we ordered was the Pappardelle Al Pesto. The pappardelle was covered with house made creamy pesto and shrimp. Another excellent dish to order. Fresh house made bread is served with your meal. The bread is excellent too.Overall, our experience at Incontro Ristorante was excellent. I highly recommend giving Incontro Ristorante a try.

As always, delicious food and attentive service. It was a bit hectic on the Saturday before Mother's Day but we were always checked on. I had their version of a margarita. The amaretto gave it a lovely flavor twist. The hubby had the pomegranate lemon drop. For appetizers, we ordered:Fritto Misto - always deliciousArancini- crispy and cheesy at the same time! Dinners were all delicious. I always have the Eggplant Parmegiana. Other entrees the family ordered were:Pappardelle Al PestoGnocchiLinguine VongoleChicken PicattaChicken MarsalaAnd the special for the evening was a spicy seafood pasta

I loved Incontro the first time. I really liked Incontro the second time. And, then...the third and fourth time it was just "okay" and very bad for my lady. So, avoided coming here for a couple of years.We were walking by one Sunday afternoon, and they were advertising a lunch buffet for $30.99. I love buffets. I love Italian buffets. Needless to say, I would love to come try it.Well, a few weeks later, I was able to come in alone. Wow. It was super great with all kinds of choices. The highlights for me: eggplant parm, lasagne, chicken parm, arugula salad, and the desserts. Also, waffle station, fruit, eggs, bacon, sausage, pasta, breads, Caesar salad, and caprese.With that performance, Incontro is back on my good list. We've found other Italian that I prefer, but this again within the top 5 in the general area. Service has been great twice, and poor twice. Incontro has a permanent outdoor patio, adorable and intimate, made perfect for dining safely during the pandemic. It can be a busy busy place, so reservations recommended.* Buffet [$30.99, 4,5 stars]* Beet Salad [$14, 4.5 stars]* Pappardelle Al Pesto with Shrimp [$28, 4.0 stars]* Chicken Marsala [$30, 5.0 stars]* Eggplant Parm [$23, 4.5 stars]* Lasagne [$26, 4.0 stars]* Tiramisu [$9, 4.5 stars]* Chicken Piccata [$30, 2.0 stars]

Most of downtown Danville lost power on the 4th of July. A few places we approached said they were closed due to power loss. Hubby walked up and asked the bunch of 3-4 idle worker guys standing outside if they were opened. They gave us the most stank look ever and ignored us and seemed to think it was funny. I was about to say something to them when a girl at the host stand welcomed us in. It was HOT out so it was nice to sit inside with the AC. They had a special 4th of July brunch menu but we couldn't order from their regular menu, so boo. -fritto misto: (5/5) portion was generous and good for us 4. Great flavors on the calamari , shrimp, and veggies. -hartz salad with chicken (3/5)Chicken breast had good flavor, good portion but it was dry. The salad was very good. I should've just not added the chicken perhaps shrimp could've been the better protein. Our server was friendly and attentive. He checked on us, asked if my family wanted another drink. I didn't get his name. He was Latino though. He told us about their weekend Brunch and live music and encouraged us to return for that. Just for his service, I would come back. Perhaps the young guys out front we encountered could learn a thing or two from him about customer service.

One of my families's favorites in the area. Not only have we dined here on multiple occasions over the years, we recently hosted my daughter's 16th birthday party with her friends in their wine room. Planning the event was easy, professional, and with prompt responses. Value was amazing and everyone had such a great time. We look forward to dining here again with nothing but positive experiences.

Came here for the Mother's Day Brunch. We had reservations at 12pm and were seated very quickly. It wasn't too busy inside the restaurant so it was nice not to feel rushed through our meal. They were offering a 3-course brunch menu. I had the wedge salad, Halibut, and Nutella Crème Brûlée. I have 4 stars for the food as I wasn't a fan of the saffron risotto. Halibut was delicious. Nutella Crème Brûlée was ok. Staff was very friendly and give them 5 stars. They had a live musician, but being inside we weren't really able to hear or enjoy the nice day. Next time I will request outdoor seating.

I was looking for a spit for gnocchi and they came up on my phone. However, they only had brunch. I'm so glad I came here. They had a wonderful brunch spread with salmon, shrimp, salad, pastas,scones and breakfast and brunch items. I really enjoyed my brunch here and it was reasonably priced
