Want to give a shout out for: *Our service professional, Robin!! (A star) *The salted vanilla cream soda (omg) *Bucatini (so good, so corny) *the music they were playing (had to even bust out the sound hound app) Great service, lovely atmosphere, fresh and unique flavors. Wasn't *wild* about the cocktails nor the pork gnocchi but that could just be my personal taste. read more

Intero Restaurant - Salted vanilla cream soda. I'd like to order 12 of them, tbh. Liquid desert. - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

One of our favorite Italian-forward spots in town. The ambience is warm and inviting, the food is consistently tasty, and the chocolates/desserts are honestly one of the highlights of the experience. Everything feels thoughtfully done, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The only disappointment is that they removed our favorite potato pizza from the menu -- we still think about it and wish they'd bring it back. Aside from that, it's still a great restaurant with good food, great vibes, and a menu that's worth exploring. read more

Had an amazing birthday dinner here and honestly... I'm still thinking about it. We started with the burrata and beef carpaccio (both gone in about 3 minutes), then moved on to the bolognese and pork shoulder. No notes, just pure happiness. You can tell everything's made from scratch, but it still came out fast enough that we never had to stare dramatically at each other pretending not to be hungry. If you're a foodie or trying to impress a date, this place basically does the work for you. read more

Arrived a few minutes past my reservation and was sat after a moment. The restaurant looks kinda decent from the outside and it's got a cool relaxed vibe with modern furniture and dim lighting. The sections are nicely divided and makes the space intimate. Jeremy was responsible for taking care of me and well, it started off a bit disappointing. After being sat, he walked by and said she'd be right back as he took dishes away from another table. The be right back turned into him checking on two other tables for their dessert orders and almost by passed me for the table sat after me. Not a great impression Once he greeted me and went over the concept as it was my first time visiting. Farm to table and things take a bit longer to cook so best to give the full order at once so they can time it out. Went with the focaccia bread with the ricotta and then the rigatoni with smoked duck. Let's just say every plate went back empty. I should have asked for extra focaccia breast to soak up the sauce. The flavors were amazing and the portions spot on to have you full but not stuffed. Dessert, I mean come on, I had to after the amazing dishes! Got the affogato with mascarpone gelato, mocha coca crumble. Delicious, never knew I liked affogato so much! Jeremy was more attentive thought out the meal and overall service was amazing. read more

Intero, amazing as always. We just had Emery as our server even though he is normally the Maître D.. he also makes an incredible server! The entire staff here puts massive effort, care, and intention into making your visit top notch. Emery and every table runner assured us that they take food allergy concerns very seriously at Intero. This place is so home-y and welcoming, its worth a visit for any occasion. The decor and lighting was well planned. Now the food: every bite is spectacular. The pesto burrata is crafted with perfection as it is accompanied with fennel olives and pistachios. The NA cocktails are elevated, unique, and tasty. Roasted potatoes? Soo garlicky and delightful. Then the wagyu strip.. wow. Cooked perfectly and the broccolini was seasoned phenomenally with a nice sweet, umami, smokey flavor. And finally the dessert! Don't miss the brown butter cake topped with cinnamon Gelato with a side of marshmallow creme topped with smoked candied pecans. Holy wow.. its so decadent, I definitely recommend sharing! read more

It was a girl's night out and we picked Intero as our dinner spot and what a memorable choice it was. They were extremely accommodating with the gluten free diet of one of us. The recommendations of our server were spot on for our appetizers. I hate corn, but the timballo was probably the best thing I had all night. For my entree I opted for the rigatoni with smoked rabbit, mushrooms and horseradish cream. Make sure that if you order this, you mix it all together to create the perfect bite. We were all very satisfied with our entrees and the chocolate at the end of our meal was the perfect happy ending. Looking forward coming back for date night as the ambiance felt cozy and romantic. read more

Nothing but good things to say! All of our dishes were consistently GREAT. Usually one dish is superior, but they were all wonderful. The sourdough bread came with a wonderful whipped butter that didn't last long. The main dish was a wonderfully grilled red fish with a very refreshing side salad. To top it all off was the brown butter cake, wished there was more of it! Our waitress was very helpful and attentive throughout the night. Parking may be difficult on the busy weekends since it's a smaller lot, may wish to consider ride sharing to the restaurant. read more

It's why I battle my "chaunky" every day! One of my crew in Austin reaches out to me for my recommendations for top spots for his anniversary. Mission accepted I tell him. I do my homework across my google map tracker cross referenced to yelp as well as my insights based on his affinities and price point. I send him a unique set of spots any hopeless romantic's partner was sure to love. He goes off script & selects Intero ( IG: @interorestaurant ). I had never been there so I made it my mission to get there first for data. I promised him, all I would send is a "fuck yeah" or "nah!" My solo feast included the sourdough focaccia ( house made ricotta, wildflower honey, thyme ), charred cabbage ( hot mustard, parm, chive oil ), steelhead trout tartare ( tomato, caper, leek aioli, carta di musica ), rigatoni ( smoked rabbit, mushroom, red wine, horseradish cream ), 14oz wagyu beef tenderloin ( grilled romanesco, spring onion, walnut, chili ) , and finally one of each of their in house made artisan truffles. Why not! Everything here was truly exceptional, full flavored, hyper local, I ate too much. The charred cabbage was the best I've ever had taking the reins from Din Tai Fung's sautéed cabbage in Vegas. Romanesco is one of my favorite veggies, perfectly paired with the flawlessly cooked temp of the tastiest cows I've ever eaten. After all of this meeting the creator and chocolatier of the truffles and chocolate bricks was icing on the cake. I expressed my gratitude, and just how much I loved the spot. All of the staff laughed when I said my buddy was coming in days later behind me. I showed them the "Fuck Yeah!" text message. I love Austin. There's never a dull moment, and I can't wait to be back, cowboy boots and hat in hand for the 2026 Rails World Conference. Tickets drop tomorrow at 10am CST. It's why I HAVE to workout every day! read more

Intero is really good! My supervisor told me this was his favorite restaurant in Austin which is a very hot take so I really wanted to come check it out. I came with my mom one evening; the parking is à la east Austin - street parking nearby wherever you can find it. That said, we got a spot within a block. The inside is darker and very nice for a date, there were several couples there. I came specifically to try the rabbit rigatoni (hand made pasta menu) and it did NOT disappoint - it was thick, creamy, and you could definitely taste the difference of flavors between everything they added. We also got the sourdough focaccia with honey and thyme which was lovely and they do give you one small "refill" of a harder type of bread (not the same fresh sourdough you get with the first order, but it's still nice). It's a touch pricey in my opinion but really the flavors are superb. I didn't get any drinks at the time but folks at the tables around us did and the cocktails were a good size. Our server was lovely, the host was very friendly, and the bathroom was immaculate! While I can't say it's quite my favorite restaurant in Austin, I did very much enjoy it and would absolutely rec a visit to Intero for anyone who enjoys quality Italian food :) read more

Great restaurants have a way of making you forget you're evaluating them. You're just there, passing plates across the table, stealing bites, ordering one more dish because curiosity wins. That's Intero. The carrots were unexpectedly unforgettable, the timballo unapologetically rich, and the pastas carried the quiet confidence of people who know exactly what they're doing. Nothing felt engineered for social media or built around spectacle. Just honest cooking with restraint, soul, and a respect for ingredients that's increasingly rare. read more

Intero Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is one of my favorite spots in Austin. I bring all my out-of-town visitors and love a good weekday date night here. I can usually grab a reservation pretty easily and am able to park in their gravel parking lot next door. The decor is intimate and romantic with low lightning and dark furnishings. We always get seated quickly and the service is excellent. I feel confident bringing my friends with food allergies here because they are always so accommodating. But of course, the star of the show is the food. I LOVE carpaccio (and must always order it wherever I go). I highly recommend order theirs as it is life-changing. You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu. They have delicious appetizers (try the house made ricotta with honey and thyme) and pastas (my favorite is the bolognese). read more

Finally visited Intero this past weekend to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriend. The restaurant has a lovely, cozy, romantic ambiance. Our server was attentive, friendly, and proactively shared recommendations with us. We opted for cocktails instead of wine, due to their extensive and impressive cocktail menu. These drinks did not disappoint! Booze forward and crafted beautifully. For food, we ordered: 1. Burrata appetizer, served with two pieces of crispy bread and drizzled with fresh pesto. Every bite was bursting with flavor. Hands down my favorite item of the night. 2. Redfish entree, served with fermented vegetables and baked polenta. The fish had a subtle flavor but was cooked to perfection and was very enjoyable. The polenta was fantastic and I liked the tang of the vegetables. 3. Mafaldine Bolognese. The handmade pasta was phenomenal - fresh and tasty. Unfortunately I did not enjoy the sauce. It was very thick and pasty, which was not what I expected. Since it was my birthday, I was allowed to select an item from the dessert menu (free of charge) which they served with a candle. Very appreciative of this! I chose the brown butter cake and savored every bite. While the pasta sauce was a let down, the rest of the meal was great. I hope to come back and try more of their menu in the future! read more

The quality of the ingredients and freshness of each plate are supreme, but the flavours were lack luckster to me. I tether between giving it a 3 or 4, but my disappointment in the flavours refuses to give up. The Phony Negroni was quite good. It tasted like a cocktail but didn't have the alcohol. Definitely will get this again if it aligns with my mood. I opted for two mains because I really wanted to wanted to explore their big dishes. So I ended up with the Roasted Duck Breast Risotto and Ricotta Gnocchi. The Risotto was pretty bland to me, which is a shame because it was prepared and plated very well. I think every thing in the plate could've been stronger: the salt and pepper levels, the cheese, and the beets sauce. At least the portion was generous. The Ricotta Gnocchi was significantly better. The gnocchi was incredibly toasty and fresh, the sauce had a small punch, and the pork ragu was a decent protein. But I think the sauce could've been stronger. I want to be popping the gnocchis in my mouth as if they were msg filled chips. Maybe it's intended to be a bit mild to pace the dish, but at least the price was respectable and decently seasoned. I got two chocolate truffles: apple cider and a peanut butter based one. The difference between the two are quite small and neither tasted spectacular. They can be purchased at the counter in bulk, but I'd be much happier getting a Forrero Rocher or Ghirardelli. Finally I got the Brown Butter Cake, which was quite good and sweet. Folks with a sweet tooth will definitely approve of this one because it is a roasted sugar bomb. This was the best thing by far, but I unfortunately wasted most of the Ice Cream because it melted away and I was too full. All in all, I could definitely see the appeal and understand why other folks love this spot. The vibes with the dim lights and freshness of the plates are definitely there, but most importantly the flavours did not land for me. They rotate their menu based on the season, so I will consider coming back to taste a different perspective. read more

Came at a 5pm on a saturday and they had walk in seats for the bar. Everything else was booked! Bucatini w/ corn- (4/5)- would definitely get this. Their most popular dish. It has a nice creamy cheesy savory flavor. Very yummy and the texture and chew of the bucatini was nice Gnocchi pesto- 4/5- i overall personally would prefer the bucatini in flavor. But the pesto is really good for a pesto. Feels like an elevated fresh version, with the hint of mint and the sunflowers seed, making the bite really interesting. If you like pesto think you would like this. My friend thought this was the most interesting dish of the night Timballo (2/5)- would skip this one. We all agreed the rest of the dishes were way better. the crispy risotto rice had a nice crispy texture. Tasted like a hash brown. That was the best part of the dish. Overall the flavors felt like they didnt really go together for me. The apple had like a vinaigrette and the meats bbq sauce, and slight hi t of mint and the rice all felt like very different pieces Butter cake w pecan (5/5)- sooo good!! Really recommend this one it tastes very sweet. And then the hint of cinnamon comes through and the cake has a nice crisp layer and then softness. Was one of the best dishes for me. Also a decent size and good price for a dessert that 3 ppl were able to split Overall it was a nice meal and i understand why people mostly get the bucatini and buttercake read more

Awesome food. Awesome service. Awesome ambiance. We walked in to a dim, intimate space with the perfect hustle and bustle around us. The waitress was amazing at recommending dishes to pair with what we wanted, and she was a joy to converse with. The rabbit rigatoni was fantastically rich, and the bolognese had such fun noodles in a hearty sauce. The rigatoni was well made, but the peaches really tied it together. An absolute standout was also their homemade chocolate! Just wow! Overall, we had a great experience and would love to come back to explore more of the menu. read more

Had a 12/10 experience at Interio. The service was phenomenal. I wish I remembered our waiter's name! He was fantastic - want to give him a huge thank you! I want the biggest takeaway from this review to be that the sourdough focaccia & ricotta dish is an absolute MUST!!!!! Both are perfection. (Note: they bring a second plate of focaccia after you finish the first - very thoughtful so it's nice and warm) The redfish dish was great, my favorite part being the mushrooms. As a matter of fact, the mushrooms were my favorite part about the rigatoni dish as well. DELICIOUS. Even my friend who isn't crazy about mushrooms enjoyed them. The bucatini was cooked exceptionally. I wasn't a fan of the sharp cheddar flavor, but that's not a critique on the cooking. The corn complimented the pasta really well. The chocolates were good! We got the caramel (my fave) and a peanut butter one. The chocolate pieces in the center were free and just as tasty! In conclusion, Intero is awesome, and I look forward to my next trip! read more

I was really excited to try this place after hearing so much hype, especially because I was told the pasta could be made gluten free. Unfortunately, the experience ended up being a bit underwhelming. Because I'm also dairy free, my options were pretty limited, so I went with the gluten-free bolognese. It was... fine. Not bad, but not memorable, and definitely not what I expected given how highly recommended this restaurant is. My mom ordered the arrabbiata pizza, which also landed in the "meh" category--nothing wrong with it, but nothing that stood out. My boyfriend, on the other hand, got the ricotta gnocchi, and that was honestly pretty stinking good--the clear standout of the table. What really saved the experience was the service. The host and our server were incredibly kind and welcoming, which genuinely made the night more enjoyable and helped soften the disappointment with the food. Overall, I wanted to love this place more than I did. If you can eat dairy, you'll probably have a better experience, but for those with multiple dietary restrictions, it may not fully live up to the hype. read more

Intero really impressed us! The ambiance is lovely as soon as you walk in with dim lighting and candles. Our waitress let us know that it was happy hour, and we ordered the "what are you doin here?" and "man of mystery" to drink. Both were very high-quality and tasty. We split the house-made burrata, which was excellent and also part of the happy hour. For entrées, I ordered the bucatini and my husband had the bacon pizza. My bucatini was SO good. The cheese sauce was delicious with the hint of chili oil, and the pasta had perfect texture. Might be my favorite pasta I've had in Austin. We had the brown butter cake for dessert which was also really yummy. I love a cinnamon ice cream, and it paired perfectly with the cake. read more

Intero is a cute little date night spot on the East side of Austin. I stopped in for their happy hour (Tuesday-Thursday from 5-6:30) to check them out for the first time. I loved how intimate the space was and had a delightful waitress. Items ordered: wagyu beef carpaccio, ravioli with smoked red fish and the Yukon potato pizza. The carpaccio was my top dish and the ravioli was my least favorite. I loved a good wood fried pizza, so it was perfect baked to me. I'd be interested to return and try some of their other pizza options. read more

Intero Restaurant - Malfaldine bolognese - Italian Near Me - Austin, Texas

TL;DR: Perfect date spot to impress someone, costs a pretty penny but is so worth it! Food: The food is delicious and filling, we left feeling so satisfied. + Focaccia with ricotta ($10) There is a really nice crispiness to the breadcrust, yet the inside of the bread is extremely airy and soft. The ricotta has a light sweetness and honey to it. There is a nice fresh herb aftertaste. I could not get enough of the ricotta, it's light and the perfect amount of sweet. + Rigatoni with smoked rabbit ($28) You can definitely tell that the pasta is home-made as it has a little bit of a doughier texture, but in a tasty way(?) (it's hard to describe, but it's really good pasta!). The rigatoni hold sauce extremely well too. The real star of the show is the smoked rabbit though...wow. It is so incredibly tender, and it has a little bit of a gamey taste to it. Overall, such a delicious dish! + Mafaldine with bolognese sauce ($24) I would pick the rigatoni over the mafaldine dish overall, but pasta wise, the mafaldine pasta is better! It's such a fun shape that's hard to find. This dish kind of reminds me of a light lasagna? It's flavorful, and the rosemary is a nice touch to give a fresh aftertaste. + Grapefruit sorbet ($7) We were already so full about the entrees, but we really wanted to try at least one of the desserts because they sounded so good. The sorbet has a distinct grapefruit taste, but it isn't overdone. The crumble is fine enough where you get a little bit of crunch in each bite but it doesn't get in the way of the sorbet. Service: The service here is great and very friendly! We were running late on our reservation because of bad traffic, and they were very understanding. We were able to still get a nice table despite arriving nearly 20 minutes late. Our waiter Jeremy was great and helpful in choosing wine and dessert. Without us even asking, he also was aware that we wanted to split the dishes family-style and accommodated that! I had such a positive experience here, and I definitely want to come back! Ambiance: We got an outside table, but there is a heat lamp nearby and the entire patio is covered so no cold from outside is actually felt. I want to try reserving a table indoors next time as the dim lighting with candles looks so nice. The restroom is nice too -- very clean with good quality paper towels. read more

We love Intero but this time it was a miss :( I was super excited to try the risotto but they changed it from duck to quail. I should have follow my instincts and just order something else but I really wanted to try the risotto as the combination of beets, cabbage and chantilly sounded interesting. My quail was undercooked and it was hard to eat it as the skin was rubbery. The risotto was really good but without the protein to supplement it was just a disappointment. Hubby ordered the fish ravioli and was also not great. The combination was a bit off. Too salty and just didn't blend well. We will definitely be back as we always had a good time here before tonight so just hoping it was a "off night" read more

While it started and ended well, this was overall not a great meal. Our entrees were lackluster and the flavors and textures missed the mark. Our appetizers were delicious, the sourdough with honey ricotta and the charred cabbage. The bread was perfect and the cheese was rich and sweet. The cabbage was perfectly cooked a delicious, although the scoop mustard and crispy onions are almost more Chinese flavors than Italian. For entrees, my friend and I had the gnocchi with meatballs, my mom had the duck risotto and my friends mom had the gluten free bolognese. The gluten free noodles were surprisingly good. The gnocchi and meatballs was a totally weird dish. The gnocchi was super soft and light, much lighter than that normal al dente bite. The meatballs were salty and rather dry and hard to the bite. Eating the two together was weird. The textures just didn't make any sense together. My mom couch barely eat her duck. While it looked delicious, it was so many rich flavors all layer together. The cabbage had a very vinegar, acidic taste, while a cream sauce was a very spicy horseradish, and the risotto was cooked down to a mush with no mouthfeel. The duck was also quite fatty and hard to chew. She barely touched the dish, and the serve only asked her if she wanted a to go box when it was quite obvious she didn't eat any of it at all. The brown butter cake and truffles for dessert were as amazing as recommended, but not enough to balance out the meal. read more

Intero was on my restaurants to try list and when a friend suggested it, I was in They have a parking lot but it's pretty limited; however, there is ample street parking in the area. We snagged a 5:30 reservation, which is early as hell for dinner IMO. Unless it's dinner prior to an event or you're an early eater/sleeper - basically, 200 years old. We are chatters so had a few cocktails prior to putting in our food order. They prefer you order all food at once and they course it out, which I generally dislike as I typically end up getting everything at once - even with the promise that it won't happen - surprisingly, they kept their word and coursed out the food. We did have a great server and unfortunately I don't remember her name. Drinks: Lambrusco - yes Chianti - yes German Cab - Courtesy call - yes, it has a little spice but yummy La befana - Food: Beef carpaccio - 5/5 this was my fave of everything we ate Timballo - 3/5 Burrata - 4/5 Rigatoni - everyone gave it a 2/5 but I can't attest as I don't eat cute rabbits Gnocchi - 0/5 it was to me but others in my party enjoyed it- they can write their own review Bolognese 3/5 pasta was perfectly cooked but something was missing Bucatini - 5/5 pasta again perfectly cooked and it had great flavor Pork sirloin - 0/5 for me, others enjoyed it but I was not a fan of the flavor We ended with butter cake and chocolates as the chef/owner is a chocolatier.

Must Get - Focaccia with House-Made Ricotta ($10) - Heavenly! Good - Sausage, Apple, Honey Pizza ($22) - The crust is very thin and crispy and somehow holds up structurally. I found it to be a bit salty but it was nicely flavored overall. Wagyu Carpaccio ($22) - It my first time having carpaccio and I sure it was a good one, I just don't think I am a carpaccio person. Brown Butter Cake with Cinnamon Gelato ($9) - The flavors were surprisingly complex and melded together beautifully. The plating on everything was gorgeous.

Recently discovered Intero Restaurant made Yelp's Most Romantic Date Spots in the US and ironically having just eaten here within the last two weeks with my best friend and let's just say it felt like we were on one lol. This restaurant feels so intimate when you first walk in and greeted by the host sitting behind a chocolate display. They actually make their own gourmet chocolates and truffles which select options are only available for those who dine in! It's a bit misleading as there is a lot more table space towards the back which even surprised me as I thought it was maybe a capacity of like 20 when I first walked in. You're immeditely presented with their bar and the front room was even warm and cozy as the wood-fired pizza oven was prominently displayed. After we had a moment to look at the menu, our server was super sweet and was conscious to ask if there were any allergies at the table. Since I have a few, I informed them and they immediately told me they would go to the kitchen and present a menu of dishes that could be modified and which ones were not possible. This was so helpful as they even informed me of a dish or two that had the ingredients built within and not possible to modify. Sadly one of them was a dish I had in mind, but not going into anaphylactic shock is also nice lol. Highly recommend starting with their focaccia bread and burrata, served with just enough pieces of bread to enjoy yourself but not overly packed where you feel like you ate an entire loaf (IYKYK). The bestie and I decided to share plates and we did two main dishes which were both excellent. They have a seasonal menu and different daily highlights so check within 24 hours of your reservation on what they're featuring. It was such a beautiful experience and I can't wait to actually come back with my fiancé for a proper date moment lmao. read more

For starters, we had the carpaccio and the housemade burrata, which were great and perfect to share with a group of four. For the entrée, I tried the duck risotto and it was about a 6/10 for me. I usually order duck whenever I see it on a menu because it's one of my favorite dishes, so I was excited to try it here. Unfortunately, it was just okay -- nothing particularly memorable. The flavors were decent, but it didn't really stand out compared to other duck dishes I've had. If you're a big duck fan like me, you might want to lower your expectations a bit. For dessert, we had the chocolate truffles with assorted flavors and they were very good. The cocktails were amazing and definitely one of the highlights of the experience. Overall, considering the price, you can definitely find better Italian restaurants in ATX with more impressive dishes. It wasn't bad, just average. read more

I wanted to love this place so much because of all the hype but I left somewhat disappointed. The focaccia was fantastic I do recommend starting with that.

My dinner at Intero was a good experience. Italian isn't my personal favorite but Intero did a good job. The cabbage salad and focaccia was a great start. The cabbage salad was a good balance and loved the char on it. The focaccia was fine. I wish there was a bit more olive oil. A friend and I got two dishes to share. The Malfadine with bolognese was a classic. The meat sauce was flavorful and the pasta was well made. The ravioli with smoked red fish and lemon preserve was okay. There was way too much going on the dish. I wish there was some editing. It was kind of giving a lox sandwich. Dessert was a good time. The affogato was great they did a roasted white chocolate ice cream. The brown butter cake was good and balanced. The service was really good. Overall a solid experience. read more
