Piattello Italian Kitchen<\/strong>, the celebrated Italian concept from the\u00a0<\/strong>From Scratch Hospitality<\/strong>\u00a0group, is thrilled to officially announce its upcoming move to\u00a0<\/strong>The Shops at Clearfork<\/strong>TM<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0at the corner of Marathon Avenue and Ozona Boulevard this November (5137 Marathon Avenue, Fort Worth, TX 76109). Founded by Fort Worth restaurateur Chef Marcus Paslay, Piattello\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0new iteration will occupy 5,620 square feet with approximately 160 seats inside, 40 additional seats on the patio, and will add lunch service to its operation.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Piattello will establish a new home within The Shops at Clearfork\u2019s new three-story, 70,000-square-foot building,\u00a0The Offices at Clearfork, plans for which were announced in mid-2025. Tenants and visitors can expect a multi-use environment blending retail, dining, entertainment, public green space, residential and office space, and connectivity to the Trinity Trail system via walking and biking paths.\u00a0Piattello will be the first and only Fort Worth-owned and operated restaurant in The Shops at Clearfork, bringing homegrown flavor and much-needed Italian fare amid the renowned global and regional brands encompassing the development.<\/strong> \u201cAfter nearly 10 incredible years at Waterside, this move felt like the natural next step for our team,\u201d\u00a0says Chef Marcus Paslay.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019re only moving about a mile down the road, which means we still get to serve the neighborhood and community that built Piattello from the beginning, while bringing a Fort Worth-owned concept into one of the city\u2019s most visited and luxurious developments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He continued<\/strong>, \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be the first local restaurant to join Clearfork, and the opportunity also allows us to expand our hours with lunch and dinner service seven days a week so guests can enjoy Piattello even more often. From our from-scratch offerings, homemade pastas, and to the way we welcome every guest through the door, we believe our approach to hospitality is the perfect fit for the energy and experience Clearfork has crafted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clearfork\u2019s always-buzzing live, work, and play dynamic will allow Piattello to expand hours to lunch and dinner services seven days a week, while still executing Italian comfort classics in a cozy, welcoming environment. The menu will remain largely unchanged, save a few new additions, so guests can expect everything they already know and love.\u00a0\u201cAll of the favorites are staying,\u201d says Paslay. \u201cWe\u2019ve gained a reputation for our from-scratch preparation and seasonal Italian fare, and we\u2019re excited to continue that in Clearfork while bringing Texas hospitality to the center of Fort Worth\u2019s most premium district.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0New menu additions and updates will unroll later this summer and closer to the fall opening date.<\/p>\n

In line with Clearfork\u2019s airy atmosphere and social setting, Piattello\u2019s new space will have a patio, meaning diners can enjoy al fresco meals and cocktail hour after full days of shopping at The Shops at Clearfork. The official, fall opening date is soon to be released, but expect celebrations to continue throughout the summer and into the new year, as Piattello celebrates its 10th anniversary in January 2027.\u00a0 \u201cPiattello is a natural addition to the retail, restaurant and mixed-use environment at The Shops at Clearfork, which continues to set the standard as Fort Worth\u2019s premier walkable destination,\u201d said Patrick Peterman, Senior Vice President, Mixed-Use, at Simon. \u201cThe restaurant\u2019s fresh, ever-evolving menu reinforces the elevated, experience-driven offering that defines the center for both diners and shoppers. We\u2019re grateful to Chef Paslay and the entire Piattello team for bringing this exciting new concept to life at Clearfork.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new mixed-use building, the most recently completed space in The Offices at Clearfork, also welcomes Wells Fargo as the anchor office tenant, leasing the top floor and part of the second floor, while\u00a0Piattello Italian Kitchen will be the restaurant anchor tenant on the ground floor alongside retail,<\/strong>\u00a0encompassing approximately 22,000 square feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
