Job description

Overview

Our team of "Mammas" (moms) is getting bigger and we would love to meet the new ambassadors of Italian culinary culture! If you are an Italian speaker with a deep passion for home-cooked style recipes and you are known among your friends for being a great host, this role is for you!

What you'll do

• Cook regional dishes: cook what you'd normally prepare at home, from frittata di pasta to mains, we are looking for the most authentic recipes!
• Be the perfect host by making sure our guests are well taken care of for a memorable experience.
• Passionate home cook: you're proud to share your family's culinary traditions and the story behind them.
• Team player with independence: you are able to collaborate with the other Mammas and members of the team but you are also comfortable working on your own.
• Deep knowledge of Italian food culture.
• Reside in London: Pre-Settled or Settled Status necessary to proceed with this application.
• Experience: previous experience in a professional environment is an advantage, but not a must. If you are up for the challenge, we encourage you to apply!

Location & Terms

• Location: Chelsea and Notting Hill
• Accommodation in a flat shared with other Mammas: if needed and based on the availability of the flat.
• Initial training: you'll receive personalised guidance from Mamma Sara, one of our most experienced mamma chefs.

Why work with us?

• A real Italian experience: you'll work in an environment that celebrates Italian culture, warmth and the authenticity of home cooking.
• Professional growth: we offer a supportive environment where you can learn, grow, and refine your skills.
• Be part of a meaningful project: you'll contribute to a restaurant that honours family traditions and aims to highlight the less mainstream regional food cultures in Italy.
• La Mia Mamma is not just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Italy, its traditions and the love that goes into every meal. Each of our "Mamma Chefs" brings their unique regional flavours and family stories to the table, creating an authentic Italian experience that transports our guests straight to Italy. Our mission is to offer a welcoming, home-like atmosphere where guests can feel like part of our family.
