Margaret River restaurant site to re-open in Spring 2024
The Margaret River wine region will soon welcome a relaxed yet refined Italian dining experience as the Cherubino Wines team confirm plans to re-open the iconic lakeside Caves Road site in Spring 2024.
Masseria Restaurant will be helmed by chef Ben Jacob (Lagoon Yallingup) who has developed a menu that promises to transport diners to the Italian countryside, showcasing a casual Italian-Mediterranean cuisine using traditions with a south-west twist. Think house made focaccia, a selection of the season’s best antipasti and cured meats to a range of hand made pastas. From the charcoal grill expect the likes of Bistecca Fiorentina and whole Augusta Nannygai. To finish, an indulgent signature Tiramisu made to share on the table.
Extraordinary Western Australian produce and flavours from Italy’s culinary hotspots will inform the charismatic, osteria inspired menu which aims to offer South-West diners an all-day menu that shifts seamlessly from lunch to aperitivo hour.
“Ben has been aligned with our vision from the get-go,” said Larry Cherubino “We wanted to create a dining experience in the region that is accessible but still elevated and both the food and wine menus reflect that wholeheartedly.”
“The inspiration for the restaurant name came about during a family holiday in Puglia,” Edwina Egerton-Warburton said, “Loosely translating to ‘farmhouse’, we think it is the perfect fit for the venue and style of eating and drinking people can expect –it is an incredible space and we’re very much looking forward to this new direction.”
A considered wine list will complement Jacobs’ menu, compiled by Cherubino City Cellar’s Sommelier, Simone Ratti, and Group Venue Manager, Jonathan Diaz. Cherubino’s greatest hits (including rare and exclusive back vintages) take their place alongside a selection of Italian and French wines from Larry’s import portfolio.
“I am very excited to align with the Cherubino brand in opening Masseria.” said Ben Jacob “I am committed to utilising my depth of knowledge and skill as a chef and restaurateur to create a welcoming atmosphere where families and friends can indulge in an Italian-Mediterranean menu focused on casual, simple, but delicious food, right here, in the south-west.”
Masseria will open just in time for Spring/Summer 2024 dining. Stay tuned for our official opening date, menu release, restaurant and wine tasting bookings!
