Now Accepting Reservations For July 9th and beyond,
The crew from Northside Bistro are now going to provide some amazing Italian cuisine, Top notch Steaks, and delightful seafood. Expect to see some of the great cooks and friendly staff you expect at Northside along with some great new team members we are excited to introduce to the area.
Chef John and his team are excited to bring you some takes on classic Italian cuisine along with some expected twists and turns to keep things current and we will always hunt for the highest quality ingredients we can find. Service promises to be warm and inviting never taking our focus off the details that matter while still keeping it fun and light hearted.
The decor here at Encore is a polished but comfy, the environment will create great energy and a sense of community but still provide some romantic corners for a Romantic evening with loved ones.
Carol and John are so excited to bring their second offering to the North Raleigh area!

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Encore Ristorante delights with "delicious food," impeccable service, and a "fantastic menu." Chef John's modern Italian dishes, like the gnocchi and lasagna, are crowd favorites. The elegant atmosphere and "attentive staff" make it perfect for special occasions. While some find it pricey, the quality "justifies" it. Highly recommended!

    Food was great. Took quite a while to receive the food after ordering, but made to order was probably the reason.

    ENCORE IS A JEWEL, AND THE BEST RESTAURANT BY FAR IN WAKE FOREST, AND ALSO ONE OF THE BEST IN WAKE COUNTY. WE ARE BOTH GLUTEN FREE, AND ENCORE PREPARES SOME OF THEIR BEST DISHES GF FOR US. ABOUT ALL THEY’RE LACKING FOR US IS SOME GOOD GLUTEN FREE BREAD, ALA AJJA, AND GF CHOCOLATE DESERT OFFERINGS. I WOULD BE REMISS, IF I DIDN’T ADD THAT THEIR WAITSTAFF, MANAGEMENT AND CHEF ARE ALL HELFUL, ACCESSIBLE AND COOPERATIVE.

    Service is exceptional. Lunchtime Eggplant parm and Rigatoni w/Ragu sauce was wonderful. Tables are not tightly packed in, making it easy to move chairs and walk around.
