Server

We are hiring Full time and part time Servers in our growing company!

Who are we??

We are a Contemporary Italian Concept of wood-fired pizzas, creative small plates, fresh pastas, exciting entrees, salads and more, all made in a scratch kitchen. We are one of the most sought after establishments in Naperville...

#1 Rated restaurant on Yelp in Naperville!

#1 Voted "Best Italian" 2 years in a row by Naperville Magazine!

If you have experience in high volume, upscale casual restaurants, then we would love to speak to you! Please do not apply if you do not meet the requirements.

VAI's opened in 2018 and we are no strangers to restaurants or success! Our ownership/management team comes with a history of managing the "go-to" spots, with over a century of collective experience.

What is different about us?

We offer a fun, exciting, family oriented environment with a casual hospitality vibe and razor sharp focus on details. Growth potential is there for those who have a desire learn and move up, and for those willing to hold the keys with responsibility. Work with us and enjoy the benefits of working for a non-corporate, independent restaurant with experienced owners and management! We're an easy going, however, focused, group of professionals and we would like to add to our staff with personable and energized servers and bartenders!

Our staff will be responsible for keeping the mood lifted through friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable service. We are more than "order takers" and are tasked with satisfying all levels of expectations through food, drinks, and atmosphere!
