The Shops at Clearfork is adding two notable restaurants this season. Piattello Italian Kitchen is moving from Waterside into the ground floor of The Offices at Clearfork, with a November 2026 opening scheduled, and Austin-based Uchibā is coming to Marathon Avenue. Both were on PaperCity's October 26, 2026 list of Fort Worth's most anticipated fall openings.
For the neighborhoods that surround Clearfork, including Tanglewood, Westover Hills, Rivercrest and the streets along the Trinity, these openings reinforce what Clearfork has become: the closest thing west Fort Worth has to a daily downtown. Here is what is opening, what else is planned, and what it means for nearby homeowners and buyers.
What is opening at Clearfork this fall?
Two restaurants lead the fall calendar, according to PaperCity and CultureMap:
- Piattello Italian Kitchen, at 5137 Marathon Ave., is relocating from Waterside after almost a decade there. CultureMap reported on June 3, 2026, that the new space is about 5,620 square feet with roughly 160 indoor seats and a 40-seat patio, and that the restaurant will add lunch, serving lunch and dinner seven days a week. Piattello debuted in 2017 and will mark 10 years in January 2027.
- Uchibā, at 5185 Marathon Ave., is a Japanese concept with sushi and small plates from Austin's Hai Hospitality, co-founded by Tyson Cole. PaperCity did not list an opening date.
What is The Offices at Clearfork?
CandysDirt reported in June 2026 that The Offices at Clearfork is a three-story, 70,000-square-foot building announced in 2025, with Wells Fargo as its anchor office tenant. CultureMap described it as a recently completed office and retail building at Marathon Avenue and Ozona Boulevard, with Piattello anchoring the ground floor. The building is designed to be within five minutes of I-20, I-30 and I-35.
How big is Clearfork going to get?
Clearfork opened in 2017 as an open-air center developed by Simon, with Neiman Marcus as its anchor retailer, according to CandysDirt. The master plan, as cited from the development's website, is much larger than what exists today:
- About 2 million square feet of office space
- About 1.2 million square feet of retail, dining and entertainment
- About 2,500 residential units
- Planned additions including more multifamily and retail, senior living and a hotel
The district also connects to the Trinity Trails, which gives residents a walking and cycling route along the river.
Which retailers are already there?
CandysDirt listed luxury tenants including Neiman Marcus, Burberry, Tiffany and Co., Gucci, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton and Design Within Reach, along with market-exclusive brands such as Tory Burch, Tommy Bahama and TUMI. Established restaurants include Rise No. 1, Mesero, B&B Butchers and Press Cafe.
What does Clearfork's growth mean for nearby neighborhoods?
Our agents at The Agency Dallas who work west Fort Worth find that Clearfork comes up in almost every conversation with buyers relocating from other cities. It answers the question, "Where do we go on a Tuesday night?" That convenience is part of the value of living nearby.
But a growing mixed-use district also brings trade-offs:
- Traffic on approach roads: More office workers and diners mean more trips on the roads that feed Clearfork, especially at lunch and rush hour.
- More multifamily: The master plan's 2,500 residential units bring new neighbors and more demand for nearby services.
- Construction cycles: Future phases, including the planned hotel and senior living, will bring construction activity over several years.
- A deeper amenity base: Each new restaurant and retailer strengthens the case for single-family neighborhoods within a short drive.
Which single-family neighborhoods benefit most?
Tanglewood sits closest, with Westover Hills, Rivercrest and the neighborhoods near TCU a short drive away. Montserrat and Mira Vista residents also use Clearfork regularly, reaching it via the Chisholm Trail Parkway. Buyers who want walkable access should focus on streets nearest the Trinity Trails connection, while buyers who want quiet streets with a short drive will find more options a bit farther out.
How does Clearfork fit with the rest of the west side's dining scene?
Clearfork is not the only place adding restaurants on Fort Worth's west side this season. The same PaperCity list included Duong DeVille, a Vietnamese restaurant from chef Hao Tran at 405 Jim Wright Freeway, expected this winter, and a new full-service Roy Pope on Merrick Street from Westland Hospitality, with no date announced. Westland is also renovating Flora House, the cafe inside the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, with a target of year's end.
The difference is scale. The west side's independent spots tend to be single restaurants on neighborhood corners, while Clearfork concentrates dozens of shops and restaurants in one walkable district. For residents, the two complement each other: a corner place for a weeknight dinner, and Clearfork for an evening that might include shopping, a patio meal and a walk on the trail.
What about the Trinity Trails connection?
CandysDirt noted that Clearfork connects to the Trinity Trails. For nearby residents, that link means a bike ride or walk can replace a short drive, at least in good weather. Buyers who value that should look at homes with easy trail access, since a trailhead a few blocks away is a different daily experience than one across a busy road.
Should buyers and sellers factor Clearfork into their plans?
For sellers in nearby neighborhoods, Clearfork is a reliable point of interest to mention, especially to buyers moving from out of state. For buyers, it is worth driving the route at the times you would actually use it. A three-minute drive at 10 a.m. can be different at 5:30 p.m.
