Travel ChannelNovember 12, 2012One of Incanto's more popular dishes is the bone marrow and beef tongue plate. You will not be disappointed with this order! As seen on Travel Channel’s Food Paradise: Manliest Restaurants 2.
squeaselJune 16, 2012Try the "Hot Mess": pig trotters, foie gras, strawberries. Amazingly delicious! (but try it before July 1/foiemageddon). The foie ice cream with pistachios and cherries was also amazing.
Paul LomaxSeptember 6, 2013Lamb heart with burnt onions and fried mint was AMAZING. Loved every dish except crispy trotters. Wasn't the filling - that was great - it was the crusty dry coating. Nothing ventured nothing gained!
Men's Health MagJuly 10, 2012Invite some friends to share the Leg of Beast dinner. You'll scoop marrow from the beef shank's bones, partake in the tendon, and gnaw on the bone-in beef of the shank itself.
The Daily MealFebruary 22, 2011The testicles are outstanding, the tuna heart got us swooning, and the bone marrow is aptly named "God's Butter." If you are (or would like) a large party, the whole pig is the way to go. Read more
EpicuriousAugust 25, 2010You'll think you're back home in Italy with the comfy-casual decor and cooking that satisfies every craving. Pair your carbonara with a selection from the amazingly diverse selection of Italian wines.
Viola GauciJune 16, 2013Amazing food!!! Just make sure the waiter doesn't trick you into ordering more than you should... Otherwise, order the tuna heart spaghettini
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011If you want to know what nose to tail philosophy and eating is all about, Chef Chris Cosentino serves up a master class every night. Bring 5 friends and enjoy the “Leg of Beast” feast. - Inspector- Travel ChannelNovember 30, 2010Chef Chris Cosentino is a high priest of guts. Once a year he sets aside two nights to do a special 5-course, all-gut menu. – Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations
Try the Hoof & Mouth - #kvpinmybelly : "I love you" dinner @offalchris spot w/ pig trotter & tender #pork cheek. Totally put us in the mood for love!- Travel ChannelMarch 11, 2011Chef Chris Cosentino is a genius, and one of America's foremost authorities on snout-to-tail dining. Head, brains, blood, guts--it's all edible bliss to Chris. --Andrew Zimmern, Bizarre Foods Read more
Christen DuongMarch 29, 2012If you haven't tried the offal dinner, your life has been an offal waste. Set yourself right! Seriously one of the best meal experiences I've had in a long time.
GourmetLiveAugust 26, 2011Incanto serves up classic cuts of meat alongside the animal's lesser used parts, known as offal (think tongues, necks, brains, tails, and feet).
Brian GrossSeptember 5, 2013Order halves of some of their dishes to get the full experience. Incredible place.
The Incanto team is like family to me!! Great vibe, amazing food & an endless wine list!! Love it every time Xo
R TOctober 29, 2012If bone marrow isn't on the menu, ask for it! Sometimes they can satisfy the request!

Ellen LaiJuly 1, 2010Bone marrow was amazing! The actual "Leg of the Beast", is a braised beef shank you must order 7 days in advance. Honestly, wasn't wow'd by the LEG.- Try the Pork Belly - #kvpinmybelly : 2nd #porkbelly serving in 24 hours. So fatty! Chewy skin and nice pairing with oranges.
Food NetworkJanuary 18, 2011Satisfy your inner carnivore with the Leg of Beast dining experience at chef Chris Cosentino's at Incanto Restaurant & Wine Bar in San Francisco, CA.
Shadi MehraeinJuly 23, 2009Adventurous dishes - tuna heart, pork shoulder, lamb neck... Everything was amazing and enjoyed one of the best pasta dishes I've had in the city (and it's not even Italian...)
C BayugaDecember 24, 2011Still one of my favorites for food and service. Many times been, has yet to disappoint..- Try the Beef Tendon - #kvpinmybelly : So tender and meaty! Yum!
Portia DOctober 25, 2011Reservation needed! Eat anything that comes from a pig. You won't be disappointed!
Leigh FonsecaAugust 15, 2010The tuna bones (roasted tuna spine) were incredible. Also loved the roasted pig face with pappardelle.
ZAGATApril 21, 2010Make a special occasion extra carnivorous with a three-course “Leg of Beast” dinner for 6–10 people ($49 per person).
Christine NgoNovember 23, 2010very sad with my experience here - 3/5 dishes were under-seasoned. however, the sweetbreads are excellent.
BravoJanuary 27, 2010Italian inspired, with the best and most uniquely prepared offals in the world. -Mike Isabella, Top Chef
Showtime NetworkApril 1, 2011The “snout-to-tail” menu is not for the faint of heart! Are you as brave as a Borgia?
Best offal I've eaten in years. Seriously good Italian restaurant in Noe Valley.
