The staff here is incredibly kind and helpful. Our server made some great recommendations. The food was delicious. What truly impressed me was the tagliarini with acqua di pomodoro. It’s a simple dish, but it packed a punch of flavors. The

Service was amazing!
Food is phenomenal!
We took a quick trip to NYC and decided to celebrate our anniversary here after some friends recommended it. They were fully booked, but I called right when they opened and they were able to squeeze us in for an early dinner, which worked out perfectly but I highly recommend making a reservation if you can. We met Chef Rocco as soon as we walked in and he was super friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was great too and really knew the menu. He walked us through all the specials. Not pictured because I forgot are the arugula salad and the raviolo we also had, which were so good. Honestly, this ended up being one of our favorite meals in the city. 10/10, we’re definitely coming back.

If you’re looking for delicious Italian in the upper east side you must get a reservation at L’incontro by Rocoo! Food was full of flavor, portions were nice, and the staff were lovely! Love the ambience! Make sure you get the Midollo – Grilled bone marrow served with frisee and crumble parmigiano with beef tartar ,musto and mango puree.

I had an amazing birthday dinner at L’incontro by Rocco. Our reservation was for 5pm on a Tuesday (the new normal for dining with an 11 month old!) and we had the restaurant to ourselves! The service was amazing, they were fabulous with our baby, and our waiter Guillermo was fantastic. The food was delicious – we had the ricotta toast and stuffed artichokes to start – delish. The Caesar salad was very light and crisp, and the chicken parmesan and the oxtail parpadelle were great. Oh, and a cannoli with a candle for dessert! The decor inside was beautiful as well!

L’incontro by Rocco is a true gem for anyone who understands how to appreciate authentic Italian cuisine. Right when you step inside this warm and cozy place, you are surrounded by a ton of people and staffs but make sure you make reservations beforehand. Chef Rocco’s dedication to traditional techniques and high quality ingredients can be tasted and seen in every dish especially the pasta. Made from scratch with expert precision, the pasta has that perfect texture and richness that I honestly have to say, better than grandma’s. Beyond the pasta, the menu consists of many traditional Italian dishes such as meatballs, baked clams, salads, rack of lamb, chicken parm, and much more. Come try L’incontro by Rocco if you crave for some authentic and tasty Italian food!

L’incontro by Rocco is, without question, one of the finest dining experiences in New York.
From the moment we walked in, the service was nothing short of exceptional. The staff is attentive, polished, and genuinely passionate about hospitality. Every recommendation was thoughtful, every detail handled with care, and the timing of each course was flawless. You feel truly welcomed here, not rushed, not overlooked, but genuinely taken care of.
The food is outstanding. Each dish is beautifully prepared, full of depth and authenticity, and executed at an extremely high level. The flavors are rich, balanced, and memorable. It is clear that every plate reflects experience, precision, and pride in the craft.
Rocco himself sets the tone for the entire experience. His presence, warmth, and attention to guests elevates the restaurant to another level. You can feel the culture, leadership, and excellence that flows from the top through the entire team.
L’incontro is not just a meal, it is an experience. Impeccable service, world class Italian cuisine, and a team that truly cares about delivering perfection.
Highly recommend. A true New York gem.

Fabulous food, staff was incredibly attentive, and the chef came out to speak to every table individually. The portions were okay, not particularly large but very appetising. The bread was fantastic and the spread with it was as well. Although we made a reservation we were required to wait an additional 10 minutes. Overall good experience though and the Christmas decoration was beautiful

Good not great. Hard to describe the vibe. The decor was very cool, and modern. The service was very good, not exceptional. Service and tone is what you would expect from an old school Italian restaurant. Food was good old school Italian. Good because everything is home made, not boxed. Dishes themselves weren’t especially creative. Most of the crowd was 45 or older, so not a young restaurant.
