The food was amazing! So many great flavors without any of them overpowering the other. The staff are all very friendly, and the restaurant itself is quaint with a great selection of music. This is my second time here and I've tried gnocchi at various different restaurants but nothing compares to Incontro!

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

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.

Date night and boy did we pick an awesome spot! Service was lovely, the pomegranate lemon drop was delicious and the food was incredible! The calamari was the best I've ever had~ lightly breaded and extra crispy, piping hot calamari, shrimp, onions and squash! We also got the Arrancini, delicious sauce and tasty, but not my favorite~ the smoked mozzarella was a bit too smoky for me. The spaghetti and meatballs had an amazing sauce with decadent meatballs. And the linguine and clams was perfectly light, noodles cooked Al dente with delicious focaccia to sop up any sauce from the pastas! I wish I took a picture of dessert~ an Affogato~ but trust me, it was THE BEST~ delicious vanilla gelato, PERFECT espresso, topped with homemade whipped cream and amaretto cookie crumbles. Dreamy.

This is a fantastic Italian restaurant in the middle of downtown Danville. We stopped in for a couple of drinks. Met the owners and they were so nice to give us some arancini balls that are spectacular and authentic. We will come back for their brunch next Sunday.

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 delicious Arancini- 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 Pesto Gnocchi Linguine Vongole Chicken Picatta Chicken Marsala And the special for the evening was a spicy seafood pasta

Absolutely a wonderful dining experience and I highly recommend this town jewel. Everything from the perfection of service, to the lovely atmosphere is enticing. We enjoyed brunch for Mother's Day and the pace and timing of the offerings were perfect. For staters, we had the Caprese which was so very fresh with perfect tomatoes and a mild rich and delish burrata. I had the very moist and delicious chicken chicken with creamy perfect mashed potatoes and crisp fresh green beans for my entree. Hubby had the amazing ravioli which he describes as melt-in-your mouth amazing. I recommend requesting some bread to gather all of the beautifully prepared sauce left. My FIL had the amazing crab Benedict. Wow!!my MIL raved about the perfectly cooked halibut! We all tried MIL's risotto which was creamy and nice with a heavier saffron and lemon note. I forgot to mention the CAFE LATTE WAS OUTSTANDING! We all enjoyed our coffees in fact and I wish that I would have asked what type of coffee and espresso they provide. The bar tender is a genius and you MUST have a traditional Aperol Spritz. Light, refreshing and absolutely perfect! And the desserts! Chocolate hazelnut cream brûlée and panna cotta were outstanding finishes to a perfect dining experience.

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 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]
