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.

My wife and I just had the best meal for her birthday. We were led to the table by the friendliest staff and then served by a wonderfully personable waitress. She had insightful recommendations as well as knowing ingredients I hadn't heard of. And she seemed genuinely excited to tell us the dishes she enjoyed as well as regularly checking in on us. The focaccia and ricotta cheese with honey was light and delicious. I had two cocktails that tasted complex and great. Better Idols and the Pomona were both lightly sweet, like I like. I had the Wagyu NY strip with Polenta. It was a great cut of meat cooked medium rare with every bite being a satisfying velvet texture. But the star for me was the polenta. It had a great subtle flavor behind a very pronounced buttery taste. The texture was great. I hoped that I would be hungry enough to eat all of it because it tasted so good. And for dessert, we shared a delightful brown butter cake with cinnamon gelato. A terrific end to a terrific night.

Such a great experience! Highly impressed with the gluten free selections. The Timballo was incredible! It’s rare to find a place that makes their own GF pasta and the bucatini was so good!
