👉 Ristorante L’Incontro da Uso 🇮🇹 Cucina Italiana Autentica – Pizza, Pasta & Dolce — Restaurant in Munich

I don’t understand the good reviews for this place!

We went for dinner for two and tried their 30€ menu, which includes a starter, main, and dessert. The price seemed suspiciously cheap for “authentic Italian,” and in hindsight, it should’ve been a red flag about the quality.

I ordered a salad starter and grilled salmon for the main. When I asked what came with the salmon, the waiter mentioned potatoes and vegetables—but didn’t mention I’d also get the same salad I had as my starter. So, I ended up with vegetables and a repeat of the salad I’d just eaten. A quick heads-up would’ve let me choose a different starter.

The salmon itself was a big letdown: extremely dry, with a rubbery crust that tasted like it had been reheated, not freshly cooked. We also ordered a Prosciutto pizza, which tasted like something from a cheap delivery chain—not remotely worth the price.

Adding to the frustration, many items on the menu were unavailable, including our first three choices.

This place tries to market itself as authentic Italian, and the Google profile gives an impression of quality, but the reality isn’t even close. While the prices may look appealing, the food is mediocre, commercial-quality at best. I skipped dessert because I just wanted to leave and get back to the hotel.

Not...

I came upon Ristorante L'incontro by chance and had a very pleasant and warming experience.

It was late in Munich, and everything was closed, including L'incontro, which had just closed, but this did not seem to bother the owner, seeing me walking in.

I was greeted kindly by Uzo, who noticed I was hungry, and since the oven was still warm, he cooked up a pizza for me after finding out I had been traveling all day; knowing that no other place in the vicinity would have food.

Many people would tell you to come back another day, but Uzo made sure I did not go without having something to eat.

The pizza was made fresh and had great flavor. But, what really made it for me, is the kindness of the owner and the humanity of the experience. 10 out of 10 for me. Thank you Uzo.

Will make sure to come back when I visit...

My wife and I decided to try a local Italian restaurant during our stay in Munich. We had been out all day, saw this place, and thought it looked half decent. We both decided to order their Carbonara (after all, it is a classic Italian dish, right?). Well, it was bloody awful, the worst food I have ever been offered anywhere in the world whilst of my travels. The pancetta was lumps of grizzle that had been hacked off whatever animal it came from. This was fried in old oil, which had been used several times and burnt. The taste in the meat was evident. Very, very poor. Bearing in mind that this is a traditional, very basic Italian dish, it should be a guaranteed good meal in every Italian restaurant anywhere I the world. Clearly not, avoid this place at all costs. If hungry I would suggest eating...
