Chef, Prezzo Italian
Start with the Italian classics. Grow with us. Master every section.
You can't miss Prezzo Italian right now. Our refurbished restaurants look stunning, with more on the way, and the food has never been better. Guests are noticing and the momentum is real. Now we need chefs at every stage, from first job to seasoned pro, who love food and want to cook it properly.
Who We Are
Brava Hospitality Group is the home of great restaurant brands. We're the group behind Prezzo Italian, in towns and cities right across the UK, and a collection of much-loved central London restaurants: Jamie's Italian, Riding House Café, Nessa, Yasmin, Mortimer House Kitchen and, most recently, Bolo by Gennaro. And we're growing the footprint of every one of our brands. We're restaurant people at heart, and we believe every guest deserves brilliant food and exceptional hospitality from teams who love what they do.
Prezzo Italian has been bringing the Italian classics to towns and cities across the UK since 2000. For our 25th birthday we gave it a fresh start: a brand-new look, beautifully redesigned restaurants, and a menu built around the dishes people love, made fresh and cooked properly. Prezzo Italian is the home of the Italian classics.
We're a business on the way up, and the people who join us now will shape where it goes next.
The role
Our chefs grow through three levels, based on how many sections of the kitchen you can cover. You start at Level 1, develop at Level 2 and reach mastery at Level 3. Whatever your experience, we'll find the right level for you, and rates of pay are different depending on your level and experience.
Level 1: start
You're starting your kitchen career. You'll learn to prep and cook our dishes the right way, alongside experienced chefs who want to see you succeed. New to kitchens? You'll get full training and a team that has your back from day one.
Level 2: develop
You've got some kitchen experience and you're ready to build on it. You can cover several sections with confidence, cook every dish properly, and keep adding new sections as you grow.
Level 3: mastery
You're one of the most experienced cooks in the kitchen. You're proficient across every section, so you can step in wherever you're needed, keep things moving when it's busy and support your Sous Chef when needed.
At Prezzo Italian, it all comes down to two things: the impression we make and the connections we build. Every guest should leave feeling genuinely looked after, not just served. That starts with how we treat each other. Teams who look out for one another, have fun together and take pride in what they do create the moments guests remember and come back for.
Food is one of our key pillars, so you'll have support from our central team of chefs and the right tools to get it right every time. Our dedicated chefs website shows exactly what every dish should look like and the right ingredients that go into it, and some of our restaurants use QSR kitchen technology to keep every order flowing.
What You'll Be Responsible For
Cooking the Italian classics properly
Are you a Prezzo person? You're warm, genuine and generous with your time. You love great food and you love people even more. You make every guest feel welcome from the moment they walk in, you lift the team around you, and you take pride in getting the little things right. You bring energy, a sense of fun, and the confidence to make the call.
What's In It For You
You'll give a lot to this role. Here's what we give back.
Reward
This is an exciting time for Prezzo Italian, and where we go next will be shaped by the people who join us now.
Whether you're cooking your first plate or you've mastered every section, if you love food and want to be part of a kitchen team that's proud of every plate, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today. It takes a few minutes to start a conversation that could change your next five years.
Brava Hospitality Group is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from everyone, and we'll make reasonable adjustments at any stage of the process.
