Here's a sampling of menus and where you might find us:

Intero Restaurant

(2612 East Cesar Chavez St., Suite 105)

Sign us up for a $60 four-course meal at Intero. Choose between sourdough focaccia or blistered shishito peppers for an appetizer, and then pick a salad, either the peach and farro salad or the house burrata. Picking your main course might be the hardest. You can have a bucatini pasta, risotto or smoked pork sirloin. We recommend the bucatini. It comes with sweet corn, gouda, chile oil and chive and it's mmmm, delicious. Finish off your meal with either a brown butter cake or assorted artisan chocolates.
