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.

    We always have the best time here. My bf & I brought his parents the first time & then mine the second. We’ve now explored quite a bit of the menu & have been so impressed with each item. We tried the steak special this last time & my mom will not stop talking about how amazing it was and I agree! Too notch service. Really just a lovely restaurant. I get sad when I see that they’re always booked out but happy because I want them to stay around forever! We feel so lucky that they’re in our neighborhood.

    Really enjoyed all aspects of our evening at Poeta. Antipasti Salad and Roasted Cauliflower were great starters. Seared Bass was fantastic with the tomato pesto...will be thinking of how to recreate that at home. Exceptional value for the service and quality.
