Chef de Partie - Full Time · NOTTO Covent Garden
NOTTO is chef Phil Howard's modern Italian pasta bar: fresh pasta made in house every day, honest flavours, and dishes built to be shared. Phil's spent decades cooking in Michelin starred kitchens, and NOTTO is where that level of discipline meets a fast, fun, energetic pasta bar. We've got three sites across London (Piccadilly, Covent Garden and Broadgate), and we're growing fast.
