Chris Cosentino has revolutionized the way that American chefs treat offal with his work at Incanto, but the restaurant is so much more. [Eater 38 Member]

Chef 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

The “snout-to-tail” menu is not for the faint of heart! Are you as brave as a Borgia?

If 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.

Invite 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.

One 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.
