Elegant authentic country Italian – Authentic italian food in this off-the-beaten-track restaurant. The chef comes from Chez Pannise, the Sommalier was imported from Italy (along with the wines), and the owner is there every day in this elegant new restaurant. The service is exceptional--nice and knowledgable professional wait staff. I just ate there again (September 2005) and it was superb. Try the cheese plate as a starter (it's only on the dessert menu). The steak was SUPERB, and the desserts are to die for. One of the be... read more
5% Service Charge????? – I'm confussed? I walked into a neighbor Italian restaurant in the working class neighborhood of Noe Valley. My expectations where of a simple straight forward trattoria... you know, warm greetings, attentive servers, good wine and flavorful food. WHAT HAPPENED???! A sloppy hostess, wait staff that looked every where but at their tables, over prices wine and dishes that lacked all the fussion their thought demanded. Is it possible to add injury to insult? At Incanto, YES! A 5% service charge on a part... read more
Over-Hyped and Over-Priced...but Definitely Over – Back in 2003 when the Top 100 was compiled Im sure this place was a colossus, but it is nothing more than a shadow of its former self. Obviously, something recently happened to this much hyped, towering pillar of San Franciscos Italian cuisine. Did it change hands? Did the Chef and wine Sommelier leave town? Whatever happened happened and the problems run deep. Unfortunately, the food was almost as bad as the wine. Boring and uneventful. The wait, however, was worse. 1 hour ... read more
good enough ! – food is kinf od Italian,modern italian with a lot of personality. Excellent selection of wine,good,nice ambience even if a little too noisy. If you book don't get the ones in the middle of the room.
Incanto Rocks!! – I have been going to Incanto since in opened 2 years ago and the food is better than ever. I love the Cavatelli with house made guanciale and the fig and tomato salad was awesome too. The chef is curing his own meats and sometimes they offer things like lardo, salami and mortadella. I will definately keep Incanto on my short list of neighborhood eateries.
An upscale take on unusual Italian country fare wows an urban crowd at this Noe Valley favorite. – The Scene With its gleaming, marble-floored foyer and spotless stone archways, Incanto feels like a rustic European dining hall that's been given an L.A. makeover. The upscale clientele doesn't mind the noisy acoustics of the big open room, which is almost always full to brimming. Servers are friendly, but can be spread too thin. The Food The ever-changing menu offers Italian country dishes rendered elegantly. Refreshing interp... read more
Top 100--NOT – I was very disappointed with my recent dining experience at Incanto. Although the decor is quite impressive, and the hostess was very pleasant, I was underwhelmed by just about everything else, particularly the food. The Antipasto for two was both boring and expensive. A very strange concoction of unappetizing items thrown together. Having grown up in an Italian household, I know of what I speak. The breadsticks were the best part of it. The fish dish I ordered as my entree was grossly undercooked--I don't rec... read more
Superb! – What a pleasant surprise. This place is not only a great neighborhood restaurant, it is one of the best Italian places in the City. The wine list is superb, with plenty to choose from in the moderate and high-end price ranges. Also a great value (unless you are the sort to whine about spending $75 for dinner for two). Great ambience (although a bit noisy when it's full) and good service as well. The cuisine is similar to Napa stalwarts Tra Vigne and Don Giovani, and equally well executed. Bravo!
Consistently great food – Incanto is in my neighborhood, so I've been there countless times. The food is consistently great. Innovative, with classic roots, great ingredients, and well executed. Prices are fair for the quality of food. Service can sometimes be quirky, but I've grown fond of that as well. Worth taking a trip across town. Also.. they are always busy, and yet it is almost always possible to get a walk-in table.
