Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Incanto from around the web.
"That last point about not being served charcuterie for one like another table: you raise a great point there. Every time I've been there, there have always been a few tables/barstools with regulars and they are treated with obvious favoritism...."
"Since this review was written, we have returned to Incanto and blogged about it. Check out our further visits on April 16, 2006 and June 21, 2007...."
"Now you can reap the bounty of the hunt (without actually brandishing a weapon) with a whole beast dinner party at Incanto...."
"Now you can reap the bounty of the hunt (without actually brandishing a weapon) with a whole beast dinner party at Incanto. With at least two weeks notice, the restaurant will cook up an entire animal of your choice — roast suckling pig, lamb, or go..."
"When it comes to offals, the 'unused' parts, one might think of Mario Batali and just about every single Chinese chef in the San Gabriel Valley with their bbq zoo on display. and Chowhound, I learned about an Italian, Rhode Island-native named Chris Cosen..."
"The pork amazingly felt a little dry but perhaps because the milk solids bound the meat so well. The creamy polenta was perfection in cornmeal form while the bitter greens, similar to arugula or spinach, contrasted the rich milk-braised pork...."
"Possibly the richest plate of food of all time combined gelatinous pig’s trotter, slabs of foie gras, strips of bacon and roasted Calimyrna figs. The dish’s flavor was staggeringly good, but I couldn’t help but feel my arteries clogging...."
"The Stand outs The playful menu takes steakhouse favorites (salads, sides, steak and desserts) on a tour through major U. Denver inspired Zoole to think of cowboys around a campfire, eating beans from a can and brewing coffee over the flames...."
"I had the mezze rigatoni with cardoons and pangrattata; I love cardoons and get them so seldom. Overall delicious, the pasta exactly al dente, it was slightly oversalted, but I can forgive that...."
"The witty named big brain and little brain with asparagus- while the big brain was good, the little brain was out of this world!! BTW, little brain?? Hilarious!..."
"They filter the local tap water (from Hetch Hetchy, which was according to John Muir as beautiful as Yosemite Valley before it was filled up in order to supply SF with water), carbonate it, and serve it. Richard used to make a joke about asking for "Hetch..."
""But perhaps most unusual is Cosentino's use of the cuts of meat that most other chefs ignore: everything from the pig's tail and ear to beef liver and heart...."
"[TK]Malacca serves the foods of the Strait of Malacca region, and the sophisticated mix is unmistakably Singaporean, from Portuguese noodles (with basil, tomato, garlic, and ginger) to beef rendang. Wine is emphasized over beer, and the decor of undulatin..."
"As the feasting continued, he offered the Birthday Boy the entire pig's head. This effort caused loud sucking and eating noises, because the pig skin and ears were crackly and crunchy...."
"Charming Noe Valley restaurant offers simple, often flawlessly executed Cal-Italian fare. Fine starters on the ever-changing menu may include yellow pepper and eggplant crostini with arugula salad, sardines with salsa verde, and white bean soup with yello..."
"This neighborhood restaurant headed by offal man Chris Cosentino offers creative dishes for the adventurous eater. I often think about its spaghettini with shaved tuna heart. Mmmm...."
"The crostata was just all right — the apple and quince slices leaned more on the firm side and the pastry wasn’t as flakey or crumbly. I did love the refreshing rose geranium ice cream and wished they gave a larger scoop...."
" Not great though, which surprised me, as Incanto has been compared to A16 (which I love) and Delfina. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that we had a bad meal, I just didn't have one of those "Oh My God this is FANTASTIC" meals...."
"Both chefs, Damiano Neris and Vanessa Musella, are from Sardegna, but they will definitely be highlighting Roma (Damiano most recently was cooking in Rome—S. ), with monthly specials that will rotate through all regions of Italy...."
"To support the effort, Noe Valley resident and Four Seasons Hotel executive chef Jeremy Emmerson has created ~Chefs of Noe Valley: An Evening of Fine Dining to Benefit the Kim Family Fund~ a five-course dinner with wine pairings. "When Paula contacted m..."
"We go because it's an easy walk down the street and the have a nice wine ...."
"Check out our San Francisco, California weekend itinerary for a weather forecast and hotel and attraction suggestions...."
"Lately, Chef Chris Costentino has been garnering attention as a contestant on the Food Network’s “The Next Iron Chef.” But let’s not forget how he got there: his food...."
