Wonderful cocktails, bread , eggplant, and mussels. The calamari with vegs was huge and delicious and practically a whole meal. Chocolate chess pie scrumptious. Excellent service and a lovely vibe. I

Exceptional service with great attention from each person on the staff, all are warm and welcoming. We enjoyed great cocktails and had the calamari served hot and lightly fried and delicious with the Italian wedge salad. The salad was dressed well either a Gorgonzola dressing. We enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan, Lasagna bolognese and chicken Marsala. The chocolate chess pie was a great dessert!

Recently my husband and I had dinner at Encore Ristorante in North Raleigh. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Our server was very personable, attentive and informative. Per his suggestion I tried the beef tenderloin with gnocchi and mixed mushrooms l. I was pleasantly surprised by how incredibly delicious this dish was. So tender and just amazing. My hats off to the chef. We will be back!

Lots to love here. You can taste the love, care and work that went in to each and every dish. Love the complimentary bread with olive oil & balsamic. Do not miss adding anchovies to your Caesar salad. Loved that they split it for us. For entrees, we each preferred the others...Grandma's Sunday gravy was so very good, but the heavy fresh oregano was a preference for Husband, while the heavy vodka taste was a fan of mine with Husband's vodka sauce plus sausage.
Biggest hit...the lemon & berry tart! Amazing! Also very much loved the Limoncello and Prosecco Float drink.

Fantastic meal - food, cocktails, wine selection, and service were excellent. Happy to see a new restaurant in north Raleigh!!
Fantastic takes on classic and modern Italian dishes. Service is attentive and knowledgeable. Espresso martini is delicious and better than most. Tenderloin and gnocchi is legit, the sauce has a subtle sweetness that makes the dish. We really enjoyed our meal. I rather enjoyed sitting on the bar side of the restaurant.

Encore is a cute, almost tucked away, hidden gem of a restaurant. Brand new and putting their best foot forward, everything was absolutely excellent. Food was a great portion and excellent quality. Service was extremely friendly and caring. Everyone there was super personable and accommodating to us. And the drinks were to die for! I highly recommend the Pompeio Mule, carols gin dream, and the Shift drink
And parking is a breeze here. Very easy to find and get right to dinner! Very much recommended!

We just realized Encore is now open for lunch! The food was superb, salmon and risotto for me, Gnochi for my friend. The grilled chicken is one of the best seasoned I have had in a while. Espresso cheesecake was absolutely perfect, and the service could not be better.

I am such an elitist when it comes to my cocktails. A bourbon sour aficionado, I have only found ONE bar in the Raleigh that knows how to make a proper sour. Encore did it… and then some! The mussels and buratta were both outstanding and the bartenders were so welcoming, entertaining, and engaging. This is my new spot… eureka!
