Be Part of Something Special – Join the Opening Team at Vineria Luisa

Vineria Luisa is a restaurant and wine bar that works for its neighbours.

"A pit stop for a G&T, a convivial night out with friends for dinner and vino, a pre-theatre meeting spot, a post-theatre Negroni and pasta-fix. It’s an extension of your home, where the bartender knows your favourite usual and the pasta is even better than Nonna’s. A spot like this is the soul of the neighbourhood — just like in Italy." - Alessandro Pavoni

Set across two levels and seating 70 guests, Vineria Luisa blends the energy of a buzzing Italian vineria with the ease and intimacy of your favourite local. Think thoughtful hospitality, seasonal menus, a serious wine list, and a room full of regulars and theatre-goers.

We’re seeking passionate hospitality professionals to join our opening team in a dual Section Waiter / Sommelier role. Our ideal candidate is charming, guest-focused, and knowledgeable, with a love for Italian food and wine. You'll help deliver warm, polished service across à la carte dining, group bookings, and neighbourhood events.
