Incanto

San Francisco, September 19, 2009 —
WHAT'S MORE CIVILIZED than a drink, a show, and dinner out at a romantic and extraordinarily fine restaurant? So it went: Martinis at Martuni's; Joe Ortiz's cabaret show Smoke with Lori Rivera backed up by Marshall Otwell's piano (and a fine bassist whose name I don't know), and then a platter of salumi, succulent lamb's testicles, and roast vitellone at Incanto with Joe and Gayle and two other friends. The only improvement to the evening would have been a streetcar ride to a local hotel room, but we don't mind living in the country.

    Heard very good things about Incanto, but we get so seldom to the City. All wind and iffy parking and the dark drive home across a bridge.

    They're supposed to very good with organ meats, as you aver.
