Italian

Top tags:

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.

BEST Italian restaurant in Austin, hands down. I’ve lived in Italy, Boston, and NYC and, as a result, know what truly great Italian food tastes like. From appetizer to dessert to wine selection to service - all 5 stars. It’s the best and no other restaurant is close.

We had an incredible experience. We enjoyed three appetizers (ricotta and squash being our two favorite), four pasta entrees, one dessert and tried 4 different cocktails. The flavors were rich in every single thing we ordered. Our whole group was happy and would definitely recommend! (Gluten free pasta was amazing too!)

This was one of the better dinners we’ve had in Austin recently. The food was amazing and tasted fresh. The service was great. The server had some good recommendations for us on what to get. I liked the atmosphere. They also offered us Prosecco to celebrate our anniversary, which was a nice touch. Would definitely go back.

The items we chose were all fantastic quality! Love the concept of farm to table and everything being made in house. The only feedback I have is that the food is a bit on the tame side when it comes to flavor! But, that said, it was a meal worth having. The two notable out of this world items are the cocktails (I had a golden fiddle and it was both delicious and strong!) and the artisan chocolates!

I rarely give reviews/make comments on dining experiences but this was awful. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and the server was not present and pretty awkward when taking our order. Only time she came by was to take our order and drop off the check. The food was also extremely sub par for the hype around this place. We will come back to give it another shot at a later time but we would prefer other spots downtown over Intero.

We came for our anniversary and were treated like royalty with complimentary toasts, amuse bouches, and chocolates, as well as incredible service. Food was excellent - we had the focaccia, two pastas, and dessert. They were serving an affogato with pumpkin gelato that essentially became a pumpkin spice latte in the best way. A great option for a special night out!

The food was average, some of the plates we ordered I felt were too salty so you couldn't really get the different flavors incorporated in the dishes. The waiter didn't really go over the menu or any recommendations which I feel it is part of the experience for restaurants that rotating menu.

We went here for our anniversary dinner and had an amazing experience. Our server (Rachel I believe) was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I’m pregnant and she made sure to let me know what wasn’t safe and non-alcoholic options for me to celebrate. The focaccia and ricotta appetizer is something we will return specifically for. We also had the bucatini and risotto dish which were both delicious. If you’re thinking of dessert I highly recommend the panna cotta. We went at 6 and it was quiet and we could find parking easily.
