• Italian • East Austin

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.

I had such an amazing experience at Intero with my husband last night, the food was beyond my expectations, and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend the gnocchi with duck confit, and the risotto with duck breast. The Wagyu beef appetizer was phenomenal as well. Don’t skimp out on the Butter cake if you have room in your stomach for a tasty dessert. I can’t wait to come back for more!
