“ A Must-Visit in River Oaks – Perfect for Groups I had the pleasure of dining at Bari in River Oaks District, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Whether you're planning a night out with a big group of friends or looking for a more intimate date night, Bari strikes the perfect balance of lively atmosphere and elegant charm. I ordered the branzino and was genuinely impressed. It’s definitely a standout dish that I highly recommend. The service also deserves a mention—it was incredibly efficient and genuinely friendly. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, and everything we ordered came out quickly, which was a pleasant surprise given how busy the restaurant was. Dessert was another highlight. Their dessert selection is not just an afterthought—it’s clear the same care and creativity goes into the sweets as the main courses. I’d suggest not skipping this part of the meal, no matter how full you think you are! All in all, Bari exceeded expectations on every front. I’ll absolutely be back the next time I’m in Houston. ”
“ Bari Restaurant on Post Oak is truly a gem. The food is of excellent quality—every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, making it perfect for a family night out. Raffa, the manager, goes above and beyond to make you feel right at home, and our waiter, Efrain, did his absolute best to make our evening unforgettable. My family had a wonderful time, and we’ll definitely be back! ”
“ Exceptional evening with Simon as our server. Our food was, per usual, perfect. I requested chicken be substituted for veal, and was quite pleased with the dish. Wonderful ambience and lovely staff. ”
“ Reserved a table for 2 I read mixed reviews about this restaurant. We wanted to give it a try since I was craving something different in a Christmas venue - River Oaks district. Greeted by smiles and deliciousness filled the air. It was 4pm and it was packed with large parties. We were escorted to a table for 2 by the window. Menu was filled with lots of seafood but had some veg dishes I could really drive into. My date ordered two appetizers (octopus & escargot -oysters) for entree and I ordered the veg ravioli. We sipped on Italian bubbly and completed the dinner with pistachio tiramisu and Licor 43. Recommend! They’ve changed their menu a year ago and it seems to be a hit! Great place for celebrating and especially the holidays. Cheers. ”
“ Excellent patio experience. The service was awesome and the food on point. We ordered a pasta along with the branzino and filet and both were awesome. Great spot! ”
“ Today, we came to this charming Italian restaurant to celebrate a family member’s birthday. Our servers, Eric and George, were incredibly warm and fun, and they recommended the seafood pasta. The seafood was extremely fresh and delicious, and the sauce was made from lobster broth. The only drawback was that some sand was mixed in with the clams. For the main course, we also ordered Risotto Capesante, topped with rich black truffle and perfectly seared golden scallops. Also, we’re grateful for the surprise dessert and the banana foster—such a delightful touch! We’ll definitely be back again next time. ”
“ The vibe is so amazing. It’s lots of fun and it’s in a beautiful high-end shopping strip where there’s places that only people can walk. No cars are allowed. It was delicious ”
