- CcarmenSan Francisco Bay Area •10 reviews5.0Dined todayWe were visiting Austin and we always like to try new places. The amazing thing is we were able to get a last-minute reservation unlike other venues. When we got there, it was very quaint, the waiter was excellent and the food stellar. Just realize this is an Italian restaurant, and the portions are probably small. We ordered two appetizers and quickly went to three. I think this is a hidden gem.More infoJuniperPrice: Expensive• Italian• East Austin•4.6
- TTarynVIPMinneapolis - St. Paul •8 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI had such an amazing experience at Intero with my husband last night, the food was beyond my expectations, and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend the gnocchi with duck confit, and the risotto with duck breast. The Wagyu beef appetizer was phenomenal as well. Don’t skimp out on the Butter cake if you have room in your stomach for a tasty dessert. I can’t wait to come back for more! More infoInteroPrice: Expensive• Italian• East Austin•4.8
- DDavidVIPAustin •23 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoIt's Italian Cucina is our favorite restaurant in Austin. The owner Al, always meets us at the door with a warm welcome and a friendly smile. Our waiter Gabe is always right there to help us in any way he can, and the food is always exceptional! And to top the evening off, there was a very accomplished pianist playing throughout the evening! It was our 46th Wedding Anniversary, and we couldn't have picked a better spot to celebrate! We highly recommend this place of true felt hospitality and friendship for all of your dining desires!More infoIt's Italian CucinaPrice: Expensive• Italian• South Austin•4.8
