Incanto

I celebrated my 30th here with the whole pig and Incanto did not disappoint -- the food was amazing, the service attentive and the staff really made the evening memorable for us. I arrived a little early before the 6:30 reservation to look over the wine list. The list is extensive with spirits from the different regions of Italy. For 17 of us, we got 3 bottles of prosecco, 2 bottles of white, 2 bottles of red and a bottle of sparkling red. The recommendations from the sommelier were spot on and the wine really lubricated the night.

To start, we got two heaping platters dripping with meaty goodness. The mixed boccalone antipasto platter consisted of sliced ham, mortadella, salumi, headcheese and a pate; also on the plate were braised petite onions, pickles and an entire baked garlic. My favorite of the night was the headcheese, but everything were wonderful. The meats were flavorful but not overpowering nor overtly salty and they all melted in your mouth. The bread basket was also a huge hit. The focaccia was out of this world good. It was way better than any bread that I had while in Italy. A good start to the evening!
