Incanto Restaurant

Delicious, delicious, delicious. That just about sums up the three courses I had. Exceptional value with the current offer and what's best is that you can choose from the whole menu. Total contrast to other restaurant offers which look great but when you arrive there are only scrappy leftovers on a set menu to pick from. If I had to pick the smallest downside, it's quite difficult to get parked on the roads outside, but that's hardly the restaurants fault. I'll just arrive a bit earlier next time coz I'll be back really soon.

This place is seriously good. Food simply cooked but very very tasty. I'm a dessert fiend and could have eaten anything (and probably all at once) of the ones on the menu. I just about managed to limit myself to one dessert and the white chocolate and cherry panacotta was superb.

I am surprised though why the reviewers below have mentioned pricing. Sure there are cheaper but you'd have to visiting a high street chain without any of the quality. I'd rather pay a few pounds more for this standard of food any day.

Fantastic service, exceptional food and great atmosphere. Overall, a fantastic night and I will be returning soon!

My only issue was the price. It was well worth it but I coudln;'t eat there as often as I'd have liked to though, obviously, compared to West End prices it is good value for money.

My boyfriend and I visited Incanto this weekend, and had a lovely evening. The food was delicous and the atmosphere relaxing! I'd read some of the other reviews before going, and wondered how true they are, but having been there I believe what they say!

My only criticism was the price-we paid more than the average quoted here- but it was still a lovely restaurant and I'm sure we'll return again!

Having heard great things about Incanto my boyfriend and I decided it would be foolish not to 'try it out'. We are ever so glad we did. Not only is the restaurant on our doorstep, but it has some of the finest food wwe have ever tried! Both my mixed smoked fish starter and my boyfriend's oxtail raviolone were out of this world, surpassed only by the mains to follow. I am not generally given to eating vegetarian when going out, but was intrigued by the butternut squash ravioi and found it to be an exquisite dish - with amaretti biscuits as well!!! I was not allowed any of my boyfriends venison!! He still tells me that it was the finest meat dish he has ever tasted. I will have to return to confirm this. We followed mains with some beautiful tasting, beautifully presented desserts that rounded a lovely evening off. With an interesting, unfamiliar wine list, incredible service, great food, and a superbly relaxed atmosphere, we were impressed above and beyond and urge anyone that enjoys dining out to give Incanto a whirl - amazing!

Even though Incanto had been highly recommended by a friend, I was nervous when making a reservation as I was to be accompanied on the night by my parents who are generally not fond of 'fancy food' which Italian cuisine might well have counted as.

I shouldn't have worried. The service was really excellent and the waiter spent ages answering all our questions on the many ingredients unknown to us which put my parents at ease. My Dad tucked happily into venison which I judged to be a hit when he declared it to be 'beautiful' after the first mouthful. My mother loved her butternut squash ravioli which was obviously home made and finished the entire plate which is high praise indeed from her. My king scallops were very tasty and served with what I can only describe as the best black pudding I have ever eaten. Later on the owner told us that he had driven 150 miles to Derbyshire to pick up the award winning black pudding. Dad didn't have dessert but I had a luscious chocolate tart with a yummy espresso sauce and encouraged by her earlier success Mum finished off with a lovely light tiramisu.

I loved everything about Incanto and was worried that a huge bill might have put me off coming back. I was very pleasantly surprised when 3 main courses, 2 desserts, 3 coffees and a carafe of very decent Chilean Carmenere only cost just over £30 a head including service charge. My parents have already planned a return in March probably a record first for any restaurant. I suspect it's more the food than me that's bringing them back though.

I have been to this wonderful eatrie at lunch on a number of ocassions. Reommended by a business across the road. As the reviews mention, a wonderful service - the host makes you feel at home. I have never been disappointed by the food and nothing is to much trouble. I would urge anyone in the area to drop in for a meal. Excellent

This place is incredible. The service is excellent, attentive but not over the top. All the waiters/waitresses are immaculately well trained and knowledgeable on wine and each course and not afraid to give a recommendation.

The food is immaculate, well presented without being pretentious. The grouse was local and the selection of Italian meats with freshly made pastry bread simply wonderful. The wine list is well chosen. The location nestled up in Harrow on the Hill is an ideal getaway set in picturesque surroundings with Harrow Old School just round the corner.

The atmosphere is light and bubbly perfect for the restaurant with the owner David Taylor setting the tone. His hospitality is admirable and genuine and his careful recommendations are polite, informative and very friendly. Make the effort it will be worth it and keep your fingers crossed for an Incanto II.
