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.

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.
