Austin Italian Restaurant Intero Opens New Gelato Truck Piccola Gelateria | Eater Austin

"A neighborhood Italian restaurant opened in 2018 by a chef-owner couple, this spot focuses on fresh produce from local farms and whole-animal cooking to produce memorable, seasonal Italian dishes. Standouts include roasted duck breast over risotto, springy pastas such as mafaldine with a rosemary-tinged Bolognese, and wood-fired pizzas; the menu rotates frequently, but pastas and anything with duck are consistently recommended. The co-owner and pastry chef is an accomplished chocolatier, so save room for desserts like brown butter cake with cinnamon gelato or take home handmade chocolates. The dining room and patio give it a cute, date-night-friendly vibe that feels polished without being stuffy. Open for dinner; price range is mid-to-upscale ($$$)." - Nadia Chaudhury
