About the company
This is a rare opportunity to join one of Western Sydney's most established and respected Italian restaurants, operating successfully for over 25 years.
The venue is entering a new chapter with the arrival of a new General Manager and a renewed focus on structure, quality, and long-term team stability.
With a 220-seat capacity, a busy bar operation, and a solid focus on wine-led service, the venue combines high-volume trade with consistently high standards across both bar and floor service.
The business is family-owned, owns its venue, and is deeply committed to retaining staff long-term - many team members have been here *****+ years, and the owners are not going anywhere.
This is a workplace for workers who want security, respect, and room to grow, not short-term churn.
