The 13 Best Italian Restaurants In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"The menu changes pretty regularly at Intero, a romantic, dimly lit Italian restaurant on East Cesar Chavez. Which means that when the craving for housemade bucatini with grilled corn and truffle-studded sottocenere strikes, you might not be able to satisfy it as readily as you’d like. That’s OK. Just blindly point at whatever pastas Intero has on any given day and you’ll leave with a new favorite. There are also solid pizzas and large-format meat dishes that we usually reserve for larger group dinners (only so that we can order more pasta). Afterwards, be sure to order a few pieces of the housemade chocolate. Intero lives a strange double life as an Italian restaurant and chocolate shop, and excels at both." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
