We’re expanding our kitchen team and looking for a *Second Chef* confident on both *pizza* and *pasta* sections.
What we are looking for:

- Ability to work independently, handle busy services, and maintain high standards under pressure.
- Strong focus on hygiene, HACCP, and teamwork.

What we offer
- *Fully legal employment* under UK law: contract, payslip, pension contributions, paid holidays.
- *Competitive salary*, based on real experience.
- *Tips* shared across kitchen and front-of-house team.
- *Staff discount* for you, family and friends.
- *Part-time or full-time* available – we’ll discuss what works for you.
How to apply
Send your CV with a short note on where you’ve worked, for how long, and which sections you’ve run. Only candidates with verifiable Italian kitchen experience will be contacted.
