Elio Volpe Manager

**ABOUT OSTERIA ELIO VOLPE**

Osteria Elio Volpe is a bright, coastal-inspired osteria in the heart of Cambie Village, opened in Spring 2024. Housed in a former mechanic’s shop, the space has been transformed into an open, sun-soaked dining room with a lively wraparound bar and a warm, easygoing energy. Drawing inspiration from southern Italy’s coasts and islands, Elio brings together bold flavours, fresh Pacific Northwest ingredients, and a spirited approach to Italian hospitality.

As the latest addition to Banda Volpi — the acclaimed restaurant group behind Savio Volpe, La Tana, and Pepino’s Spaghetti House — Elio is part of a team recognized for creating some of Canada’s most well-regarded dining experiences. Banda Volpi (meaning “gang of foxes”) has earned a national reputation, celebrated for emphasizing thoughtful cuisine, warm hospitality, and exceptional service. The group has received numerous accolades, including _Michelin_ recommendations, a variety of _Vancouver Magazine_ awards, Gold at the _Vancouver International Wine Festival_, and placements on _Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants_.

We’re seeking front-of-house team members who take genuine pride in creating thoughtful, memorable hospitality experiences. From greeting guests and guiding their visit to offering wine recommendations to setting the tone at the door, you’ll play a key role in shaping a service-driven environment built on care, collaboration, and attention to detail.

This is an opportunity to grow with one of the nation’s most renowned restaurant groups, connecting with a network of support and mentorship across all locations. If you’re passionate about Italian cuisine and want to be part of a group that values warmth, curiosity, and craft — we’d love to meet you.
