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.

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.

Sitting at the bar, both bartenders took amazing care. The wine recommendations, the added dinner digestives, and the overall guidance through the menu made this an exceptional experience. Thank you to the manager Erik and to the incredible team for the recommendations on the heirloom tomatoes and pizza bread, followed by an incredible lasagna. But the after dinner amaros brought this experience from a 8 to a 10. Shout out Juan for introducing us to this place and continuing to bring exceptional service.

Claire was our lovely, knowledgeable waitperson. She recommended great cocktails. We started out with the deviled eggs, with bacon. We had bbq meatloaf, ribeye, salmon, chicken fried chicken and a burger. All were very good, although the chicken was a tad overcooked. We finished off the evening with strawberry cake, the birthday girl's favorite cake. It was a delightful evening
