La Masseria Restaurant is inspired from ancient fortified farmhouses that in the Puglia Region of Italy are called “Masseria”. Executive Chef/Co-Owner, Pino Coladonato, grew up on a Farm in Puglia. He was forced to eat whatever was available but soon was tired of bean puree and decided to take matters into his own hands, creating new ways to use the same few ingredients. Now, with limitless ingredients to choose from, fava beans, chickpeas and lentils are still a core element in many of his entrees. Interior Designer Libby Langdon has created a warm, inviting dining atmosphere. Rustic and relaxed, with plenty of old world charm. Oversized iron sconces custom made from antique wrought iron gates punctuate the walls, and artful displays of antique farm tools mixed with various authentic Italian photographs all add to the farmhouse appeal. The wine list encompasses all regions of Italy with few of the best American and the rest of the world.

The Safehouse design was originally inspired by the ski culture of Jackson Hole Wyoming and Vermont living then infused with a contemporary influence. Why the SafeHouse? Where else would you go to not be TRAPPED anymore? You go down into the SAFEHOUSE. Our goal was to make dining really fun again by creating a vibe that focuses on fun sharable foods, upbeat music and creative cocktails. We are an upscale modern neighborhood eatery with a focus on hand selected ingredients. We pride ourselves on our hand cut steaks, fresh caught seafood from sustainable sources, hand crafted pastas, and a few famous Chianti’s inspired authentic Italian dishes.

    Four of us came for our reservation. We had Travis as a waiter. We never bother writing reviews, but Travis was such a lovely, welcoming server that we felt compelled to write him a great review. Highly recommend this restaurant and our server, Travis. He was excellent! Keep him here I!

    Every bite of our meals was terrific from the house made mozzarella with mortadella to the beef carpaccio apps, to the main courses of the swordfish special, salmon and grilled octopus! Tim was an attentive, efficient and friendly server. I was a little skeptical about the table we were offered which was up front near the bar, but the maiter‘d assured me it would be comfortable and he was right! Just an all round great experience!

    Went there with my golf foursome buddies and our wives for a pre-Christmas dinner.The venue was perfect, as was the service. The menu choices were great, but the daily dinner specials were to die for. The breaded butterflied veal chop, stuffed with spinach, provolone, and prosciutto, topped with two large shrimp was absolutely delicious. The portion size was huge and took half of it home for another complete dinner. 😃💥🎉🏆
