Restaurant Manager - BACCO Restaurant

Company Description

At Bacco, we’re not just serving Italian cuisine — we’re reviving the spirit of those cherished Sunday lunches that linger in your memory. Rooted in the warmth of tradition and the soul of Roman mythology, Bacco is a heartfelt homage to joy, connection, and the art of living well.

This is no ordinary eatery. It's a lively, anti-ordinary space where guests are encouraged to “fare la Scarpetta,” laugh out loud, and toast to life with a glass of Limoncello. From show kitchens to candlelit evenings, shared pasta pots to tableside moments that feel like stand-up comedy — every detail celebrates comfort, community, and culinary theatre.

We’re looking for a Restaurant Manager who embodies that same spirit — someone outgoing, hands-on, emotionally intelligent, and passionate about hospitality that feels like home. You'll lead the Bacco experience, driving both the vibrant energy of the day and the intimate, glowing ambiance of the evening.
