Basta is a casual dining restaurant brand, offering great guest experiences in beautifully designed places. With a colourful inspiration from the narrow streets of Amalfi up to the north of Milano, we are proud of our generous food and an authentic Italian hospitality. The concept is a part of Urban Italian Group (UIG) and we are a family of 350 amazing people that keeps growing, serving over 3000 guests daily across our 11 trattorias.
This role is for a Chef who takes pride in doing things properly and improving through daily work.
You will work in a structured, high-volume kitchen with clear standards and routines. The days are busy and the work can be repetitive at times, but the satisfaction comes from executing dishes well, keeping pace during service, and contributing to a smooth operation. Quality, consistency, and teamwork matter more than speed alone.
Progress here doesn’t come from fast titles or constant change. It comes from learning the details, listening to feedback, and becoming reliable service after service. Chefs who do well enjoy improving through repetition, understanding why things are done a certain way, and being part of a team where standards are taken seriously.
If you value clear expectations, steady development, and the feeling of finishing a service knowing you supported the team and did the job properly, this environment will suit you.
