Job description

Our servers are the voice of our kitchen in the dining room. We’re seeking polished fine-dining professionals who speak with confidence about Italy’s regional traditions, hand-crafted pastas and a world-class wine list, and who deliver service that is precise, intuitive and never rushed.

Il Migliore is a premier Italian dining destination in the heart of Boca Raton. We practice cucina italiana contemporanea: Italy’s regional culinary traditions, expressed through original recipes, innovative technique and chef-driven artistry, with an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Our kitchen is built on artisanal ingredients, hand-crafted pastas, responsibly sourced seafood and premium meats. Our cellar holds iconic Italian producers, rare vintages and exceptional bottlings from around the world. From the dining room to our private dining spaces, we are committed to hospitality of the highest order, and to being recognized among the finest Italian restaurants in the region: culinarily, culturally and operationally.

• Pay: $11.98 per hour + tips (Florida tipped minimum wage)
• Reports to: Floor Manager

What you’ll do

• Deliver attentive, knowledgeable service following our steps of service
• Describe menu items, preparation methods and ingredients with confidence, including allergens and dietary modifications
• Recommend wine pairings and work alongside our sommelier on bottle sales
• Enter orders accurately in the POS and coordinate timing with the kitchen, runners and bussers
• Anticipate guest needs: pacing courses, refilling, clearing and resetting as a team
• Process payments accurately and close out checks and tips at end of shift
• Complete opening, running and closing side work
• Attend pre-shift meetings, tastings and ongoing menu and wine training

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of serving experience in upscale or fine dining (Italian preferred)
• Strong working knowledge of Italian cuisine and wine
• Professional, warm demeanor and excellent communication
• Experience with Toast, Aloha, Micros or similar POS
• Legal age to serve alcohol in Florida; responsible-vendor or alcohol-service training preferred
• Availability for evenings, weekends and holidays, including peak season

Physical requirements

Stand and walk for full shifts, carry multiple plates and trays, and lift up to 25 lbs.

Why join our opening team

Few restaurants at this level open in South Florida. You will work in a chef-driven kitchen and dining room, learn a world-class wine program, and help define our standards from the first night. We invest in people who take pride in precision, grace under pressure and continuous improvement.
