We are pleased to announce the launch of Taverna Costale in St. Petersburg, FL and are looking to welcome a Prep Cook to join our team. Our daily aim is to provide a welcoming and supportive environment in which those we work alongside grow while providing a warm, welcoming experience for our guests.
Taverna Costale is a local family-owned restaurant, pairing approachable hospitality with an elevated menu designed by Top Chef Fabio Viviani. It is the perfect blend of a rustic Italian eatery, an energetic local tavern, and an upscale modern restaurant.
With an eclectic menu, including coastal creations, and a focus on exciting cocktails and craft beer from independent breweries, Taverna Costale is sure to be a favorite for those who want to gather with friends.
If you believe in this idea and vision, it’s time to help us build the next great experience for our guests.
It is an exciting opportunity and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
