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 took my husband here for this birthday. Food, staff, and atmosphere were great! We were impressed by how flawless the staff works together. All of the courses were excellent and we appreciated the staff recommendations. Great wine selection. They gave a nice birthday card and small dessert to my husband!

    We ordered almost all the starters and were blown away with the bean dip, arancini, and tuna carpaccio. We had steak and two lovely pastas. We were so surprised by the unique and complex chèvre cheesecake! We cannot wait to go back.

    Overall the food was great. Focaccia, Carpaccio, Grilled Redfish, and Bucatini were all really good and honestly a good value given the portion size and quality. We also had an angel hair pasta that was the evening's special that was overcooked and gummy, just a flat out miss in my opinion, but other than that we were pleased with our experience. We were there to celebrate my partner's birthday, and while they didn't have any dessert options that worked for her, they were very accommodating and comped us an after dinner Amaro. I'd like to go back for a more casual dinner because of the value for the quality ingredients and service.

    This is a fantastic venue for a work lunch. The atmosphere is elegant, and the attention to detail is evident in everything, from the ambient candles in the bathroom to the beautifully presented mocktails we enjoyed. I have two minor suggestions for improvement: first, our table for four felt a bit cramped given the size of the plates, and second, while we ordered three dips, we felt that the pita was not replenished as frequently as we would have liked. Overall, however, I would rate the experience a solid 10/10. I highly recommend this establishment and look forward to returning in the future.
