The Orioli Restaurant Group announced the upcoming rebranding of Avanti Italian Kitchen & Wine Bars in Creekside Park and Research Forest following a trademark issue.

“Our decisions and actions at ORG, including this rebranding, have always been guided by our commitment to our uncompromising values and integrity,” co-owner Enrique Orioli said in a news release. “Our success is founded on our core values, which includes innovation. We are constantly thinking of ways to improve and evolve. In addition to this, we place an immense focus on hospitality, providing exceptional service to our customers every single time is a priority to us.”

As a part of the rebranding, the two Avanti locations will be revamped over the course of the next six months into two new concepts: Marcoza Trattoria in Creekside Park and Terra Vino Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar in Research Forest.

“This actually couldn’t have come at a better time, as we recently noted a definite distinction of preferences within each of the micro communities our restaurants cater to,” Orioli said.

Marcoza Trattoria will have a modern Tuscan vibe with seafood and classic Italian dishes alongside a variety of 250 wines, according to the release. Terra Vino will focus on a more contemporary Italian menu with house cocktail and wine offerings.


The rebranding is expected to be complete by the end of the year. The restaurants are located at 2520 Research Forest Drive, Ste. 500, The Woodlands, and 8540 Creekside Forest Drive, Ste. C-100, Tomball. www.avantiitaliankitchen.com, www.orioli.com
