This place must have new owners. Their drinks are overpriced for the quality. I gladly spent $18 for a cocktail in the past but I don’t know what’s happened but if you’re not here for the hookah (I wasn’t), I wouldn’t come here for a cocktail.

They didn’t have food or drinks available. The bartender said everyone called in but we had a reservation and they never informed us of this.

Overall the ambiance is fun and great for a happy hour or just cocktails. The food menu is limited and the bartender seemed overwhelmed with just three tables so it took a long time to get our drinks.

We visited Incato during happy hour, hoping for a nice evening, but the experience was really disappointing. The restaurant was clearly short-staffed — it took about an hour just to get our first (and only) drink, even though we arrived in time for happy hour. Because of the long wait, we didn’t get a chance to order another before happy hour ended. Our pizza order was never put in due to a system error, and we ended up waiting about 1.5 hours before we were even told. The drinks were just okay, but the bar area was warm and had gnats, which made it uncomfortable. It’s worth noting that none of this seemed to be the bartender’s fault — she was clearly overwhelmed, trying to cover the entire bar and wait tables because other staff showed up late or not at all. Unfortunately, once we did get our pizza, it ended up making me sick, and my partner and I had to end our night early. We were really looking forward to this place, but between the delays, the atmosphere, and the food issues, it just wasn’t a good experience.

Still working out the kinks. Under staffed the night we went. One bar tender and one bar back for 45 seats available. The drinks were good once we got them, but they are overpriced IMO.

Not packed on a Thursday, not sure why as HH is 1/2 off drinks! Great inventive list of mixed drinks. Great girl dinner with Truffle popcorn and cheese plates. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Parking is limited, so be prepared to uber or to park on side streets.

One of the few spots in the Heights where the visual appeal and ambiance of the place match the quality of the drinks. Staff are great, and valet service is a plus.
