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.

    Yay, trained and professional wait staff and servers! This makes a huge difference to a dining experience. The food was delicious and served in acceptable portions so that diners may partake of several courses without feeling too full, too empty, or wasteful. My standouts were the hamachi with a soy vinaigrette and duck poivrè. For my husband, it was the best lobster bisque that he can remember. It is a go-to for him. He’s partaken of it at many top notch restaurants around the country. He enjoyed the halibut and creamed spinach. I had intended to have steak but the steak portions were just too large for me. The smallest was a 6 or 8 oz filet. Maybe I could have handled one though because my duck breast must have been very close in size and I left none. Oh, my husband loved the popover at the start of the meal. I’ve had better but again, I left none. Maybe it was the delicious rosemary honey butter? Plan on $125 per person minimum for a complete dining experience, sans alcohol. Valet parking.

    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.

    We celebrated my wife’s birthday here last night and from the get go felt like we were taken care of. The hosts seemed sincere and cheerful wishing her a happy birthday, and that set the tone for the night feeling special. I’ve worked in service, and I know it’s not always easy to be festive on someone else’s behalf when tons of birthdays are celebrated every day, and the kindness of the staff stood out. Sandra took wonderful care of us, comped a dessert for the birthday and made sure we had everything we needed while giving us our time and space to enjoy the meal. We will be back!

    We recently enjoyed a nice brunch at Poeta, sitting outside on the back veranda. We had the gorgonzola antipasti served with crudites and grilled bread. I asked for the vegetables and my request was received warmly. We then decided to share the Chicken Milanese served with grilled endive and a delightful lemon sauce underneath. The service was excellent and our waiter recommended a nearby vintage bookshop. We highly recommend Poeta and plan to visit again for the evening menu.

    We so happened to find this spot as it was close to our air bnb and it was absolutely a great find. Drinks you can tell they used quality and fresh ingredients. There was a total of 6 of us and we all ordered different drinks and no one had any complaints my favorite was the Bad Gal ri ri she had me feeling some type of way lol.... me and the wifey had shared the Butchers cut fajitas and added grilled shrimp. Flour tortilla were made fresh not reheated. This is the longest and detailed review I have ever made on this app... this tells you I will be back soon.
