Job Description

Luogo & Pelato are two distinguished Italian restaurants founded by Anthony Scotto that have rapidly emerged as premier dining destinations in Nashville, Tennessee. With over three decades of experience in New York City's vibrant hospitality industry, Anthony Scotto has successfully brought his culinary expertise and passion to Music City, marking his first solo restaurant venture outside of New York. Luogo, situated in The Gulch neighborhood, embodies sophistication and authenticity, offering upscale Italian cuisine with a distinctive northern Mediterranean influence paired with impeccable five-star service. Its name, derived from the Italian word for "the place," reflects the restaurant's commitment to creating an inviting and memorable dining atmosphere.\n\nPelato, located in Germantown, provides a more casual yet equally delightful dining experience. It serves Brooklyn Italian cuisine with a creative twist, emphasizing small plates designed for sharing, cultivating a warm community feel ideal for neighborhoods. Both restaurants focus on quality ingredients, innovative culinary techniques, and a comfortable yet elegant environment, making them favorites among locals and visitors alike.\n\nThe role of Line Cook at Luogo & Pelato is integral to the overall dining experience and operational success of these establishments. As a Line Cook, you will be responsible for preparing ingredients and producing high-quality meals that align with the restaurants' culinary standards. Maintaining cleanliness and organization in the kitchen is vital, as is adhering to all health and safety guidelines. Cooks are expected to follow recipes consistently and work collaboratively with the kitchen and chef teams to ensure smooth service operations. You will also have the opportunity to contribute creatively by suggesting ideas that enhance the kitchen's performance and guest experience.\n\nWorking in these kitchens means being part of a tight-knit family-owned environment that values teamwork, innovation, and dedication. Input and ideas from the kitchen staff are appreciated and celebrated, fostering a supportive workplace where everyone can grow and thrive. This full-time position offers competitive pay ranging between $21.00 and $25.00 per hour, attracting candidates who are passionate about Italian cuisine and eager to work in a dynamic, fast-paced setting. Night shift availability is preferred, reflecting the restaurants' busy evening service hours. Additionally, candidates must be able to commute to Nashville, TN, and are required to relocate before starting work if not already residing in the area. Employee benefits include an employee discount and paid time off, supporting staff well-being and satisfaction. Overall, this is an exciting chance for a skilled cook to join a reputable culinary team committed to excellence and innovation in Italian dining.
