“ Went for the first time last weekend, and have nothing but amazing things to say! First and foremost the host Sam was so welcoming! It is so nice and refreshing to see his presence walking in. He is so personal and had a great pace walking us to our table. We had the pleasure of having the server Grace and bartender Mark the whole time. The attention to detail of our orders were phenomenal. Mark suggested an amazing wine for our dinner and had great conversations. Grace was on top of her game and never had us looking for her. We had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy who made sure we were taken care of and made us feel so welcome! After all my traveling, This place will forever be on my restaurants to go, I have yet to find something on the menu I don’t like. ”
“ Hands down, one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Austin. The food is SO fresh and you can tell the ingredients are from local farms. The quality of the food is so high. We got the smoked duck pizza and the smoked rabbit rigatoni which were both amazing, and ended the meal with the brown butter cake with cinnamon gelato and a few chocolate truffles. Our waiter, Jeremy, was very patient, warm, and accommodating as he took time to answer any questions we had about the food and modify the dishes to fit someone in our group’s dietary restrictions. He even gave us a few extra chocolates on the house so we got to try all the flavors available that day. I will definitely be back! ”
“ Intero in East Austin delivers thoughtful Italian dishes with local flair in a warm, stylish setting. The mafaldine bolognese was hearty and well-balanced, with ribbons of pasta layered under a generous heap of cheese and herbs. The ricotta gnocchi stood out- light, pillowy dumplings paired with sausage, pickled peppers, and fresh mint for a surprising, textured bite. We started with the house-made burrata, which came on toast with charred greens and pesto-simple, fresh, and well-executed. The beef carpaccio was delicate but flavorful, topped with blue cheese, fried garlic, and herbs that added just enough edge. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere felt relaxed but refined. Great spot for a casual night out that still feels like a treat. ”
“ Amazing all around! Some of the best combinations of flavors I’ve tried. Everything is delicious. Start with the focaccia and end with the brown butter cake... you won’t be disappointed. Service is also consistently great! ”
“ We had the best meal at Intero celebrating our anniversary. FOOD: The Gnocchi was our FAVORITE. We loved everything about the burrata dish. I got the bucatini and I do not recommend it. They have so many other amazing dishes and this one was not worth it. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Our waitress Beth was the BEST. She explained everything so well, gave us great reccos, and was overall just so nice. She made our experience way better. Would definitely recommend! ”
“ This was my favorite restaurant during my visit to Austin, Texas. The sourdough focaccia with ricotta and honey has to be the best thing on the menu but I also enjoyed the timballo as an appetizer. We ordered the arrabbiata pizza, smoked rabbit rigatoni, mafaldine, slow roasted pork shoulder, and the grilled redfish. Everything tasted amazing and the service was great! They even accommodate for allergies and were able to customize some of the plates so that everyone could enjoy. Make sure to save room for dessert! The brown butter cake was a perfect finish to our dinner. ”
“ An absolutely stunning meal from start to finish. The wait staff seated us at our reservation time, our waitress was kind and attentive and the meal was beautifully paced. The food - 10/10! Maybe I ordered perfectly or the chefs were on fire but everything was just right. Started with refreshing cocktails and focaccia with ricotta - a house favorite. This just set the tone for the night. Followed by delicious roasted oyster mushroom pizza, ricotta gnocchi, and rigatoni with rabbit. Easily in my top 5 meals of the year. Next time I’ll try to leave room for dessert because the chocolates looked beautiful. Tips - Check the parking map on the website before you go. There are more spots than it looks like ”
“ The parking around is not the best, but im not taking that into consideration. First off, the service here is simply amazing. They were accommodating and they actually paid attention to reason for online reservation, other places simply don't care or don't read. The food options that you get here may seem a bit out of the ordinary, but I think that's what makes it great. You are not going to get the same old boring menu options here. The only negative thing I can say about the menu is that most of the dishes to me rely heavily on sauce combinations that may not work for a lot of folks, especially something like blue cheese on a popular food item like steak. Other than that, my pasta was rich, heavy, and delicious. It didn't come with protein, but that's OK, the sauce kinda made up for it. The steak was ok, it came well done and already cut for us, and they seemed to have not cut against the grain, so most of the pieces were chewy. The desert we got for my wife's Bday was on the house, and it was amazing, if I were to come back, it would be for the desert! Again, i would recommend this place because the dining experience is amazing, the food tastes fresh, and they have new ideas. ”
