The Woodlands Lands Its Own Bari Ristorante Restaurant — Your First Look At the River Oaks District Fave’s New Digs

B ari Ristorante, the Italian restaurant staple of Houston’s River Oaks District, is set to open this spring in The Woodlands in the former home of Tris on The Waterway. And PaperCity The Woodlands has your first look at what the much anticipated new restaurant is going to look like.

This new Bari will be very similar to the River Oaks District restaurant — the same furniture, similar Himalayan salt walls and the same authentic Italian food. Outdoor seating on The Waterway is in the works as well, though it will be a challenge to match the see-and-be-seen atmosphere of the expansive River Oaks patio.

Demolition and construction have started in the former Tris space, and Bari Ristorante co-owner Thomas “Tommy” Nally tells PaperCity everything is on track for an early spring opening
