ABOUT OSTERIA SAVIO VOLPE
Located in the heart of Fraserhood, Osteria Savio Volpe is a lively neighbourhood osteria rooted in the spirit of traditional Italian cooking — rustic, honest, and made to be shared. Our menu features handmade pasta, wood-fired meats, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients, all served with a bold Italian wine list and the kind of warm, genuine hospitality that makes guests feel right at home.
As the original member of Banda Volpi — the acclaimed restaurant group behind Elio Volpe, La Tana, and Pepino’s Spaghetti House — Savio 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.
