A modern Italian restaurant in East Austin built around whole-animal butchery and seasonal cooking — handmade pastas, wood-fired proteins, and among the finest menus in the city.
Why It Belongs on the List
One of the clearest expressions of modern Austin dining — Intero blends Italian technique with Texas sourcing through a whole-animal, low-waste philosophy. The menu changes frequently, but always centers on handmade pastas, wood-fired meats, and vegetables sourced from local farms, with a level of precision that places it among the city’s most serious kitchens.
