What are the responsibilities and job description for the Line Cook position at Café Carmellini?
Café Carmellini is the signature restaurant from James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini. Here Chef Carmellini marks his return to fine dining, distilling his 30-year New York City career into an extraordinary culinary experience. His stylish food marries Italian and French cooking with a classic New York feel and a modern vibe.
Chef Carmellini’s menu draws on many sources of inspiration, from the city he loves to a family history rich with hospitality and a passion for food. (The restaurant’s name is a nod to the family coffee importing business, which thrived in Tuscany for 120 years.) Some dishes are classics reimagined; others are fresh approaches to dishes he has cooked for many years; still others are new innovations, highlighting the best of each season.
The wine program is curated by Master Sommelier Josh Nadel and features a unique, comprehensive 1,800-bottle wine list featuring the best producers from Italy, France, the U.S. and around the globe.
