We’re looking for cooks who want to grow, learn, and contribute to one of the most respected restaurants in the city.

Responsibilities
    •    Execute mise en place and service at a high level of organization and speed.
    •    Work pasta, grill, or veg stations (experience with fresh pasta is a plus).
    •    Uphold plating standards — food should be beautiful, vibrant, and true to Barbuto’s ethos.
    •    Collaborate with the team to create delicious, seasonal family meals.
    •    Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workspace.

What We’re Looking For
    •    2 + year of professional kitchen experience (school or externship counts).
    •    Passion for seasonality, Italian flavors, and learning new techniques.
    •    A positive, team-oriented attitude — we thrive when everyone contributes.

Perks
    •    $19–$26/hour
    •    Family meal every shift.
    •    2 consecutive days off.
    •    Growth opportunities within Barbuto and our sister restaurants.
