The Company

We are a thriving, 92-seat modern Italian restaurant with a 21-year history of excellence in West Springfield. Our operation is built on a 100% scratch kitchen philosophy, drawing from the verdant farming community of Western Massachusetts and the ocean-fresh bounty of the bay. We are a dinner-service-only establishment (Tuesday - Saturday), offering a work-life balance rarely found in the industry.

The Role

We are seeking an ambitious, hands-on , and creative Chef de Cuisine to lead our culinary team. You will work side-by-side with a dedicated crew of 3 line cooks, 2 pantry cooks, and an existing Sous Chef during service. The ideal candidate is a structured leader who respects talent, values organization, and is looking for a long-term home with potential partnership opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Culinary Leadership: Execute a high-end, farm-to-table menu emphasizing seasonal vegetables, fresh seafood, and cured meats.
  • Operations: Manage scheduling, food costs, labor costs, and P&L.
  • Team Development: Mentor and polish the skills of a tenured, Spanish/English-speaking kitchen crew.
  • Execution: Work on the line during dinner service to ensure consistency and quality.
Requirements
  • Experience: Proven background in Mediterranean and/or Italian cuisine (candidates from Italy or with Italian heritage are a plus).
  • Technical Skills: Mastery of all mother sauces and scratch cooking techniques.
  • Education: Culinary degree strongly preferred.
  • Attributes: Young-minded, creative, organized, and structured. Must thrive in a system-oriented environment (recipes, lists, protocols).



This is a unique opportunity for a talented chef to partner with a hands-on owner who values structure and culinary excellence. If you are ready to take the helm of a prestigious local favorite, apply today.
