Join the the team at Trattoria Giorgio's
Think Milan in the 1960s: Adriano Celentano on the speakers, Negronis flowing steadily from the bar, and a warm, buzzing trattoria where conversations never seem to end. That’s the feeling we’ve just brought to Fältöversten at Karlaplan with Trattoria Giorgio’s, a new Italian living room in the heart of Östermalm.
Here, Italian passion, community and modern energy meet historic elegance and timeless design. The rooms breathe warmth and presence, a place where dinners stretch late into the evening and the love for authentic Mediterranean cuisine is always at the centre. Trattoria Giorgio’s is part of Urban Italian Group (UIG), a fast-growing family of 15 Italian and Spanish-inspired restaurants across Sweden & Spain. Together we are around 450 colleagues serving over 4,000 guests every day, and now we’re building our new team in Stockholm. If you want to be part of creating genuine, Italian-style hospitality every day, this might be the place for you.
We believe we work with people, not food.
Our core values: Trust, Inclusion, Passion & Entrepreneurship are our guiding light in everything we do. We have a genuine commitment to make sure everyone in the family feels included.
