  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

The on-site chocolatier is such a fun, unique little add to the evening. We’ll be back for our next special occasion.

We felt as though we were putting here out being there. We asked if the steak could be cooked medium. She went and checked and they said that would be fine. It came out completely medium rare and there really wasn’t a way to cook it up because of the way the dish was presented. It was fine but we didn’t enjoy it. The ravioli dish was good but it came out room temperature which we thought was odd. I just really do not get all the hype that I had heard about this place. Just not a great experience and we won’t be going back.
