OUR STORY

T.J. purchases the property located at 195 Old Forge Road, EG, containing both Parkside Bar & Grill and Chianti’s restaurant, having his father run the on-site operations as he continues to focus on his finance career.

After several years in corporate America, T.J. decides to change the trajectory of his career by following in his father’s footsteps and becoming an entrepreneur in the restaurant industry. Through this endeavor, The Martucci Group comes to fruition.

T.J. fully renovates the interior and exterior of Chianti’s, transforming it from a traditional Italian dining look and feel into a more modern, open, and bright dining concept.

The upstairs property at 195 Old Forge Road, Parkside Bar & Grill, closes its doors and allowed for the immediate expansion of The Martucci Group with The Trap concept.

The Trap Brew Pub & Grill opens its doors upstairs, replacing Parkside Bar & Grill with a unique environment and menu that puts a twist on the traditional pub fare using interesting flavor concepts and pairings.

Chianti’s closes its doors for good so that the new concept of Safehouse could open. The legacy of Chianti’s lives on through the catering arm of The Martucci Group’s business.

Safehouse Modern Neighborhood Eatery is established to seamlessly connect The Trap brand to the downstairs restaurant. The Safehouse design was originally inspired by the ski culture of Jackson Hole Wyoming and Vermont living then infused with a contemporary influence.

Known currently as Besos Bistro, this sector of TMG is a scratch kitchen offering a modern approach to your favorite dishes and cocktails and enjoyed in an inviting and comfortable atmosphere.
