L'Incontro has been drawing crowds, particularly Italian food lovers, on Nicanor Garcia st. Gino himself designed the Baroque-style interiors and architecture of the restaurant. The high ceilings complemented by the wooden beams endow the space with warmth, while the countryside setting prepares diners for a real Italian meal ahead. The wide glass windows beckon diners to come inside, while the airy verandah is perfect for unwinding. The ochre motif makes diners feel at ease.
Rattan furnishings decorate the place.
We serve dishes from the north and south of Italy, a combination of almost all the Italian dishes. Most of our ingredients are also imported from Italy. The restaurant has attracted a growing clientele from Makati, including businessmen, executives and diplomats in the area. L'Incontro prides itself as the only Italian restaurant in Manila that has two Italian chefs working in its kitchen. Sous chef Massimiliano Mattei from Toscano worked in L'Opera before joining L'Incontro, while Gabriele Lo Pinto from Genoa worked in Hong Kong and Malaysia before accepting a job in the Philippines.
