Portofino is a busy, well-established Italian restaurant in the heart of Wellswood, Torquay. A true local favourite, we are known for our warm hospitality, loyal customer base, fresh food, and fantastic team culture.

As part of the Ollie's Group, Portofino sits alongside Ollie's Restaurant, The Bit on the Side Cocktail Bar, and TIDES Restaurant & Bar at Abbey Sands. We are a growing family-run hospitality group with a passion for great food, exceptional service, and developing our teams.

Due to continued growth, we are looking for an experienced and passionate Head Chef to lead our kitchen team.

What We Offer

Portofino hosts a variety of successful events throughout the year, including live music nights, themed dining events, street party, wine evenings, and seasonal celebrations. We are looking for a chef who enjoys being creative and bringing fresh ideas to both our menus and events.

We believe dining out should be an experience. We bring theatre to the restaurant, and our chefs play a key role in that.

We want our customers to know and trust the person behind the food.
