Italian
Just as in Italy where the food is genuine and locally sourced, you'll find the same at Intero with farm-to-table Italian cuisine. At its core, the concept behind Italian cooking stems from necessity and gratitude for regionally available ingredients. Intero, translating to “whole’’ in Italian, embraces this concept utilizing local ingredients from their entirety, paired with traditional Italian techniques and cooking sensibilities. This naturally sustainable approach allows for innovative, yet familiar dishes that highlight the seasonal availability of what’s grown and raised in Texas.

Additionally, Intero provides an authentic nod to the sweet side of Italy offering specialty house-made artisan chocolates (including truffles, barks, and sipping chocolate) along with other traditional Italian desserts in classic, seasonal and unique flavors.

Enjoy various Amari, select wines and craft cocktails indoors or out, set in Intero's modern casual atmosphere.

    Rachel was lovely, food was amazing as always. Buccatoni (not sure on the spelling) was my favorite. We shared everything family style and I would give everything a solid 10/10.

    If you are looking for an elevated Italian restaurant, Intero got you covered. From appetizers, pasta, main, pizza to deserts, the dishes were above our expectations along with the excellent service. Loved the ambience and the music played as well. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant for sure!! Way better than Juniper

    Great service— attentive and welcoming even with a large party. Food was fresh and so good. Loved the homemade pasta. Multiple in my group who had the zucchini app said the chef should bottle the sauce. The chocolate was a perfect ending. So good! Will be back!

    Best value for this level of food in Austin. Every dish is thought through to a degree that you just don’t get at any other places with entrees under $40. This was our second visit and it was even better this time. Kale pizza and beet sorbet were complete standouts! Got the Moda and were blown away. The one thing that would elevate the dining experience would be a table touch by the manager or sommelier. We had a few questions about the wines and our waitress mentioned there was a sommelier, but we never saw them. Would have made the already good service excellent.

    We had reservations for a special celebration, but when I arrived half my party of four had been seated at an oversized table that had continual water dripping on it from the misting fans on us and our plates. Our request to be moved took three requests and then escalation to a manager, who still tried to tell us there was nothing wrong. I have pictures and a video of substantial, continuous water dripping on us and our plates. No apology. Despite the characterization of a “garden” or “patio”, the outside area in front was merely a cavelike wall right on the street. Ambiance was terrible, loud and HOT! I brought a special bottle of wine for the celebration but was told they could not open it for us and had to choose wine from their list. This was no where mentioned on the website. Food was good, staff was poorly trained and apparently unresponsive to basic customer concerns. Overall it was a very disappointing meal that should have been a fun celebration of a special event.
