Artin Safari  

Owner/Executive Chef

After managing restaurants his entire life and owning a Mediterranean style quick dining restaurant, his dream came true when he stumbled upon La Locanda and Luciano Bardinelli. Artin relocated with his newlywed wife Nicole to San Luis Obispo from Los Angeles to begin their new adventure. Luciano showed him the way and shared all of his recipes along with his tips and tricks so that the legend would continue. Now, husband and wife are working together to keep the home cooked, made with love food consistent for their community and followers. It is important for Artin to make you feel at home once you enter the cozy dining room.
