ABOUT LA TANA
Located in the heart of Little Italy on Commercial Drive, La Tana is a cozy, all-day Italian alimentari where handmade pasta, seasonal dishes, and carefully sourced wines take centre stage. From espresso and fresh bomboloni in the morning to elegant, soulful dinners in the evening, we celebrate the depth and joy of Italian culinary tradition — always with a West Coast sensibility.
As a member of Banda Volpi — the acclaimed restaurant group behind Savio Volpe, Elio Volpe, and Pepino’s Spaghetti House — La Tana 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.
OUR CULTURE PILLARS
We are driven by our Culture Pillars — the values that guide everything we do:
WE SHOW UP FOR EACH OTHER.
Pepino’s Spaghetti House is an iconic Italian-American restaurant rooted in tradition and unapologetically full of character. Known for hearty red sauce classics, legendary deep-dish pizza, and legendary tiramisu served with charm, Pepino’s is a fast-paced, high-volume spot where hospitality and personality go hand in hand.
La Tana Caffè e Alimentari, our sister space next door, is a cozy, all-day Italian alimentari. Focused on house-made pasta, thoughtful small plates, and an all-Italian wine and amaro list, La Tana offers a more intimate, seasonal approach to Italian dining.
Though distinct in concept, the two restaurants are deeply connected — sharing a kitchen, a team, and a spirit. Guests at La Tana can order from Pepino’s menu, and many of our staff work across both rooms, gaining exposure to two unique service styles, menus, and guest experiences under one roof.
We’re looking for team members who are excited by this dynamic environment — individuals who are passionate about Italian cuisine and wine, thrive under pressure, and are eager to learn and grow with an industry-leading group. If you bring warmth, hustle, and a love for hospitality, we want to hear from you.
