Incontro Restaurant

<p>The resturant looks nice but I thought the menu was bit limited</p>

fabruce · January 2016

I loved the interior. I ll definitey pay a visit soon as the menu looks quite interesting

If anyone has a telephone number for them I'd be most grateful - the number for the previous incarnation of the place no longer works and there were no contact details outside when I walked past this morning. Trying to contact them urgently.

The food photos on the FB page have me drooling onto my keyboard...

Six of us went on Saturday. It was really good. Prices are on the steep side for Stroud Green, but the food is a cut above the average. The chef, who is very charming, came to speak to us after the meal - he is formerly of Osteria Tufo!<div>We had a range of starters - my fishcake was sublime. The salciccia pasta was even better. One of our party had the veal, which he also rated very highly.</div><div><br></div><div>The staff were all lovely. The décor is a bit modern for my taste, but it was very comfortable. We'd definitely go again.</div>

@Arkady what does expensive mean for Stroud Green. More Seasons (non pre-theatre deal), Osteria Tufo or Mono/nandos prices?

Arkady · February 2016

Yeah, Seasons/Tufo prices. From memory £15-22 for a main. The wine was very good value.

krappyrubsnif · February 2016

Arkady what does décor a bit modern for your taste mean?

Arkady · February 2016

I'm a real sucker for an old-school trinket-and-dilapidated-art-stuffed restaurant. Clean lines and faux tiles aren't my thing, not in a Victorian property. Unless it's an old warehouse. <div><br></div><div>Basically I know what I like but I'm not good at describing it. But Season does it well. Yak & Yeti does not. Incontro is somewhere in between.</div>

Dear Arkady, thank you so much for coming! We are all so happy you guys enjoyed our food!

We tried Incontro last night. The food was fantastic and the presentation certainly lived up to the drool-worthy photos on facebook... https://m.facebook.com/#!/page/mediaset.php?id=1013027725449466&album=pb.1013027725449466 Oh, did I mention all the food was HALF-PRICE? The same deal is on tonight. I felt guilty paying so little for such lovely food that I tripled my usual tip.

krappyrubsnif · February 2016

Hmmmmm.....salivating now.

krappyrubsnif · February 2016

Utterly exquisite. Some dishes with an interesting twist, which you wouldn't necessarily guess from the menu. The octopus was superb and came with a leaf from the nettle family (tasty, harmless) that I've never sampled before. Lambs liver and herb mash very soft, and lashings of it. Mrs K's melanzane parmigiano seemed to go down fine followed by tuna steak equally well appreciated. OK wine. Very nice staff, Italian hospitality. I would say this place is aiming to carve itself a niche that is a cut above pizza and pasta. Good idea to go while they have a half-price promotion on the food, or it might be a bit steep - but a price worth paying even so, I'd guess, if they keep the quality up. In the long run, when their prices are regularised, I'd guess they will be hoping for a regular clientele from Crouch End or Upper Stroud Green.

Glad you liked it, Krappy. I had the octopus; I thought it was going to be the highlight until my monkfish arrived. Mrs Poxy thought the same with her tuna starter. However her duck main course was probably the true highlight of the meal. We'll definitely be back.

Went to incontro tonight - excellent food and great host. The fried pecorino cheese was a highlight! Better marketing may help as it tends not to be busy. You have to go - You know it makes sense!

maclondon · February 2017

anyone been recently? We have tried twice in Jan and both times it was closed! Still open but never when we want!

Ilovegreyhounds · February 2017

We went a Saturday night just before Christmas. It was busy and excellent food!

CityOfSin · February 2017

They only open Weds-Sat evenings but I have it on good authority that it's closing soon.

Ilovegreyhounds · February 2017

No!!'

poxy · February 2017

That's not good news.

And this after the sushi place, Ohba Leaf, in Crouch End closed with little notice last week.

krappyrubsnif · February 2017

So - Valentines Day meal at Incontro (before it closes), Osteria Tufo, Piccolo Diavolo, Season, or Chicky Chicken?

trainspotter · February 2017

Krappy, I was wondering just that this morning! I voted incontro on the basis we've not been, husband voted season on the basis we know it's great. Maybe see you there!

krappyrubsnif · February 2017

Hmmm, looks like Cats. Why? Don't often go. Not very romantic but on last visit six months ago, one of their Thai specials was utterly, utterly, utterly delicious. Maybe they have a new chef. Views?

trainspotter · February 2017

It's my girls' favourite restaurant, mostly on account of the tuk tuk and fish, so we are regulars. I actually think the food is pretty good, and it has a cosy charm. You won't be wowed though.

Howdy, Stranger!
