L'incontro - Karlsruhe

The food of this place is really delicious. The fact that they have an entire vegan menu, and everything on it is absolutely mouth watering, is really incredible and deeply appreciated. That is why it is such a shame that the service is just so attrocious. After three visits, this is what has happened to us: 1 During dinner time on a Friday night, we sat at a table next to the owner, who began FLOSSING HER TEETH at the table. 2 The first two times we visited L'Incontro, we got to sit at a cozy booth. This last time, we were offered a ridiculously cramped one person table (they say it's two people, but two people absolutely do not fit here . My partner is 6'4 , so I asked if we could sit somewhere he could actually fit his legs under the table. We were told, absolutely not as our comfortability mattered less to them then keeping the booths open for potential 4 person groups. We were there for two hours (6:00 8:00pm, Fri. and not a single other group came in, leaving ALL FIVE booths completely empty, while we remained, banging our elbows into the wall around us and my partner with his legs out to the side of the table. 3 Usually we order drinks. The last time we went, however, I did not want anything. Evidently, you are CHARGED FOR NOT ORDERING DRINKS, as in if you get absolutely no drinks, you are still forced to pay a EUR 2.00 fee, which is insane. I have never, in all my life, in any part of the world, heard of being charged for not getting drinks. 4 The second time we went, though the restaurant had very, very few people in it, we waited 10 minutes to be seated, 10 minutes to be give our menus, 30 minutes to have our order taken, and then after eating our (delicious food, we waited 20 minutes before having to yell for our waiter to come and give us our bill so we could leave. We ended up being there for over three hours, though the eating was probably only 1.5 of that. All in all, I would say order take out from here if you can (we are outside the delivery zone , or go when you have a lot of time to waste, aren't on a date, and you aren't already in a bad mood. To eat here, you will need to have an unbreakable spirit and a ton of patience. Oh, and if you are two people, good luck fitting into the space they may assign you. Again, delicious food the service just doesn't do it justice.

The atmosphere of the internal room is very nice with beautiful paintings that follow the logo of incontro and beautiful lamps that create the atmosphere. We tried some of the house preparations as Italians such as mussels with tomato and dill, pasta with melon and a caprese. Tirami su excellent. To be in the center of the city and not on the sea really great food and friendly service with great attention from Sandro (the owner) who listed me among the many things many characteristics of his wines and food that produce

Really apperciate the great pizza and the great work from everyone.I promise I will come again with my friends for my birthday ...

For more than 18 years, the family of Alessandro Muccardo existed on the western edge of Karlsruhe city centre. The tram stop Mühlburger Tor Kaiserplatz is not 200 m away by public transport, you can also save the expensive parking fees of nearby parking spaces and arrive by KVV. On the other hand, we drove our own car to the journey over the Rhine, which we left in the underground garage of the post gallery at the price of a small dessert for a few hours. From outside we would certainly never have arrived there without the tip of a Karlsruhe friend. I don't know how many times this one has a belly with Premiumpasta, for us it was a premiere. Perhaps some GG giants remember the former RK-User brummbär from Karlovy Vary. He took the place five years ago and was likely to envy more half. Its good reputation with vegetarians and vegans owes it to some other Italians of its seven-sided! Extra card that even offers vegan desserts and soy milk for coffee. In principle, I prefer double lactose dose and extra gluten, as I usually felt very tolerant. Can everyone think how he wants or how he does it. Because of the Vegan offer, we were not in the Incontro, but apulian and Roman pasta specialities were tempted, which are not served with every Italian around the corner. We entered the somewhat gloomyly illuminated guest room in two floors. A staircase led us up where we were placed in one of the cozy, separate seating niches. Right next to him was the prosperous area. Some tables were already occupied in the barely tiled floor. Upstairs there was a little more lasy. Valuable bistro furniture made of dark wood, colourful pop art on the walls and stalactite-shaped hanging lights, which blurred like long drops from the ceiling, created a compelling atmosphere that had its charm given the dimmed light conditions. No bad place for the first rendezvous, there were the two permanent appointments at the table. The turbulent basement of the local brewery Hatz-Moninger made 0.5 l for 3.90 euros amazingly good. Hatz told me the deep slogan on my beer glass. A bottle of organic lead 0.33 l for 3.20 Euro and a bath of precious mineral water 0.5 l for 3.50 Euro also ran through our dry throats. Already on the large-format recommendation card hanging on the outside facade next to the entrance door was to read that we do not necessarily have to prepare shells à la marinara. Only five different variants of this dark-salatic house were available. The specimens from Galicia were offered, for example, in creamy whisky sauce alla Dublinese or vodka sauce alla vodka. They were also combined with zucchini risotto, gnocchi and fresh pasta. The soft animal fraction was already at its expense. In addition to the shell card, there were eight different season recommendations. Pizza, pasta and a few meat dishes were refined with common cabbage and various pumpkin preparations. For sweets there was Medaglioni alla zucca 11,50 Euro, where with pumpkin, mountain cheese, raisins, apple and cinnamon filled dough bags met a creamy orange sauce. A touch of CODA injured by Karlsruhe Leopoldstraße. In addition to a well-sorted antipasti program, the standard repertoire lists eleven different plates with fresh pasta. All at extremely real prices between 9 and 12 euros. Schlotzreisenthusiasten could look forward to three Risotto dishes, potato diners on five different Gnocchi designs. Trailer baked round baked goods were open to numerous pizza options. My first choice would have been the pizza with lamb and pecorino cheese, all Romana 8.80 euros, but the Trucioli also came in between. On the back of the menu, where meat and fish were treated and some salad and vegetable dishes were hidden, I did not even come. The choice of fresh pasta alone made the decision hard enough. We chose the Bruschette from the appetizer program, which was served by two people. For a total of 8.40 euros, a total of six roasted, differently occupied ciabatta slices were on the plate. Two times in a classic way, with diced tomatoes, some garlic, rocket and herbs. The two specimens with molten Scamorza cheese and Parmas ham were my favorites. My accompaniment was on a Bruschetta bag with the creamy sweet goat cheese walnut honey cover that brought me the double Scamorza-Parma ratio. The three Bruschetta versions, which benefited from their cold-warm composition and their textured diversity, which came from a very rich cover on a crusty background, served as a tasty, not too lush entry that countered our first hunger and made more desire. That's a good thing for a while. And so the waiting time in the L 'Incontro can be a little longer, which naturally matches the slow food idea. It's a thousand times better that I'm fed to speed with finished goods. During our visit it also took a little, but that was neat, especially as we felt very comfortable on the comfortably padded benches. And finally our waiting was rewarded with two fine pasta. My spirally twisted, not similar to the Ligurian Trofie Trucioli alla Romana, 10.30 Euro had the right bite. In addition, the Roman noodle speciality was staged extremely taste-intensive. To this end, chopped lambs, tomato pieces, roasted sesame, fresh smooth porcelain and grated pecorino were responsible. This made my pasta a spicy-aromatic palate experience that made me forget the cold season and my culinary long-distance awakening for at least one dish. The next Sardinian holiday would come soon. Also the simple whole grain paste, prepared with hollow stems, garlic, olive oil and parmesan, would have been 9,50 euros for each Apulia Trattoria. The fine olive oil in it gave the vegetarian dish from the season its slight sharpness. The trunk cabbage, a close relative of the broccoli, is eaten in southern Italy under the pasta. But it is rather rare to find with us, perhaps because its slightly bitter aroma is not everyone's thing. For famous friends of Oldenburger Palme, this Italian winter taste is just the right thing. By the way: I told a colleague from Karlsruhe about our great evening at L 'Incontro, where he arrived with his wife a week later and was as enthusiastic as we were. When the boss asked him how he came to the place, he had to call the writer of these lines a typist. And because it comes from the Palatinate, as it is known, the admiration at the cartridge was quite large. You're welcome, Mr. Muccardo! Sometimes I recommend such addresses.
