James Beard award winner Karen Akunowicz ’s South Boston restaurant Bar Volpe is searching for Servers to join their team.

Chef Akunowicz lived, and cooked in Italy, but before taking the job as the Chef of L’Avian Blu enoteca, she spent 5 months working at a small Pastificio learning to make pasta with the Nonnas of Modena.

Waking at 3am every day to shape dough, fold tortellini and make brodo, she not only honed her craft but became truly immersed as a pastaiolo and solidified her love for the art of pasta making.

She brings this love to Bar Volpe where not only can guests sit over steaming bowls of perfectly sauced pasta, but they can stop into the Pastificio to take home pastas and sauces, and olive oil.

If pasta is the heart of this restaurant, then the wood-fired grill is the soul. Akunowicz’s pasta shines as an authentic yet personal expression of Italian food and has been lauded as ethereal and her restaurant- an instant classic.

At Bar Volpe, the wood fired grill adds yet another dimension to the food and atmosphere of the restaurant. Wood fired cooking is primitive and raw, it also harkens back to another time where this simple form of fire created depth of flavor that cannot be replicated.

Focusing on technique and food from Southern Italy- cooked carefully over flames, the flavors shine.

They are searching for enthusiastic hospitality professionals to join the team. Ideal candidates approach their job with pride, serve from their hearts, and genuinely love to take care of their guests.

Previous experience with Italian cuisine appreciated but not necessary. Uncompromising work ethic and attention to detail and cleanliness required.

A minimum of 2 years experience is preferred.

You will work directly with Akunowicz and the management team daily to create a warm and welcoming place to work and dine.

Bar Volpe is an equal opportunity employer.
