Pastry Line Cook

Elio Volpe is seeking a full time Pastry Line Cook to join our growing team.

Osteria Elio Volpe is the newest Banda Volpi addition to Vancouver's dining scene, which features a bright, open dining room, a lively wraparound bar, and a warm, sun-soaked atmosphere inspired by the southern coasts and islands of Italy.

In the kitchen, Elio Volpe brings together bold southern Italian flavours with the best of Pacific Northwest ingredients. The menu is focused on freshness and simplicity — from handmade pastas and whole fish cooked over fire, to seasonal vegetables, coastal crudos, and deeply satisfying mains. Every dish is rooted in classic Italian technique, reimagined with energy and curiosity.

Elio Volpe is part of Banda Volpi —(meaning "gang of foxes") a leading hospitality group in Vancouver that includes Osteria Savio Volpe, La Tana, and Pepino's Spaghetti House. Widely recognized as one of Vancouver's top restaurant groups, Banda Volpi restaurants have received numerous accolades, including Michelin recommendations, Vancouver Magazine's Best Italian and Best New Restaurant, Gold at the Vancouver International Wine Festival, and recognition on Canada's 100 Best Restaurants.

Joining our kitchen team means being part of a company that values excellence, collaboration, and craft — with opportunities to grow and evolve across all locations. We're looking for passionate, hardworking cooks who are excited by fresh ingredients, disciplined technique, and the camaraderie of a high-functioning kitchen. If you're driven to learn and love working in a place where food matters, we'd love to hear from you.
