An encounter filled with Italian delights
From The Boston Globe, May 14, 2006

The first time we stopped at Incontro, at 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday, we were told the wait was four hours; we left. Two weeks later we showed up at 7 p.m. on a Wednesday and were ushered to the last available table. Part of me resents the restaurant's refusal to take reservations, or even offer call-ahead seating, but another part admires the quality that allows it to pack guests in anyway.
From the handsome curved booths that soften the edges of a cavernous dining room in an old mill to the creative, upscale Italian menu, to the courteous and knowledgeable staff, no element of a satisfying dining experience is overlooked.
Incontro, which is Italian for ''encounter," opened at the end of February in the 1883 Brookdale Mill. Much of the building has been preserved. With its high, beamed ceiling, cultured stone walls, tile floors, and deep windows with burgundy blinds, the restaurant manages to be both elegant and rustic.

Finally!! Just what Franklin needed.
From Yahoo User Reviews

Awesome food - different menu - not your cookie cutter restaurant, classy and a bit upscale without being too pricey. Incredible ambience - soothing colors. Nice touches such as mini biscotti served on the side of coffee cup. Classy presentation of items if you ask for something such as a spoon etc. Furnished with high quality - no expense spared. Expert staff. Just have to try it!!!

Beautiful Place!

This restaurant was incredible! We went to the upstairs area and made ourselves comfortable in the awesome leather couches. The atmosphere is great even on a busy night the service was very attentive and didn't seem flustered. The appetizers were delicious while we were unwinding from a day of work and enjoying our drinks by the fireplace on a cold dreary night. Whatever the occasion whether it is a romantic night out or a random Tuesday night out for drinks and pool this place seems like it can accomodate. Whatever the mood you are in Incontro can cater to your needs. We took advantage of the delicious lounge menu with a brick oven pizza and some bruschetta. The portions are great especially for the prices. Something for everyone and everything was so fresh. We continued our night playing pool at one of the maybe 12 or so pool tables that are upstairs. I think this is a hidden gem because it is not easy to find a cool place to hang out that has as many available pool tables. Just an all around great place and I can't say anything bad about it. Definitely worth going and you will love it too!!

It was good for us...
From Yahoo User Reviews

Went there fairly early on Sunday evening and were seated immediately. Though not your typical "family" restaurant, they have a good selection on their children's menu (two kids, aged 9 and 11). We were all very pleased with our dishes, they happily accomodated us on customized orders, and we all managed to find room for delicious desserts. Yes, prices are higher than a Bugaboo or Applebee's, but the food was far superior and the atmosphere very comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, we were pleased and will likely return.

Great place for Dining and Fun:
