Incontro Ristorante

The word "Incontro" means encounter, signifying the coming together of the cuisine from owner Gianni Bartoletti's mountainous Northern Italian region of Piemonte and Southern Italian region of Puglia, on the Adriatic. Most importantly, our name refers to the bringing of our favorite dishes from home to you, here in the East Bay. If there is anything we can do to make your encounter with pure Italian food more satisfying, please let us know! A word about our menu. Our intention is to present you with the freshest, most dynamic dining experience, year round. To that end, we mean to chance our menu seasonally to incorporate the best local fare that Northern California has to offer. Our menu is uncomplicated, but it is always a new encounter, with special items that change weekly. Our bread, desserts, and pastas are made by hand on the premises daily.
