Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Lago Vista / Jonestown / Cedar Park

We were visiting Austin and we always like to try new places. The amazing thing is we were able to get a last-minute reservation unlike other venues. When we got there, it was very quaint, the waiter was excellent and the food stellar. Just realize this is an Italian restaurant, and the portions are probably small. We ordered two appetizers and quickly went to three. I think this is a hidden gem.

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! 

The ladies at the front desk were friendly and welcoming. Brian, our server, was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The lady who helped him was having an unfriendly day (no smiling, whatsoever), but it was a long, busy day, for her I guess. Love The Grove! Happy Christmas everyone!

Our server, Leeann C was incredibly kind. She offered to take our group photo as we were celebrating the Christmas holiday over lunch. When I asked about the soup of the day and told her my favorite was the tomato bisque, she said it wasn't on today's menu but she went to the kitchen and found out the chef's were already preparing it. She subbed it for me to make me happy!

We had a really wonderful experience! The good was great, service was amazing and prompt, and they were very accommodating for a larger party. Our server Karen we awesome! We'll definitely be returning!
