OSTERIA ANGELINA We're hiring: Pasta Chef Osteria Angelina is looking for an experienced, full-time Pasta Chef to join our kitchen team. You'll make our pasta fresh, by hand, every day in full view of our guests in our glass pasta lab on the restaurant floor. If you take real pride in your craft and want your work to be seen, not hidden away in a back kitchen, we'd love to hear from you. About Us We are a family-owned sister restaurant to Angelina Dalston. An Osteria is a casual restaurant rooted in the Italian tradition of generous hospitality and simple, beautiful food.
