Pastry Cook
About The Position
Italians are storytellers, and every great story is fueled by adventure. Zingaro—the traveler, the wanderer, the free spirit—is the perfect name to capture the essence of a restaurant that takes your guests on a journey across Italy, one dish at a time. A menu inspired by the roads less traveled, from the smoky flavors of Sicily to the earthy truffles of Umbria, to the rich, buttery pastas of Emilia-Romagna. Zingaro is about tasting it all, embracing the diverse, vibrant, and bold flavors that make Italy a culinary treasure. This name is more than a nod to the gypsy spirit—it’s a celebration of culinary wanderlust, where each dish tells a tale of tradition and innovation. Just as the Zingaro roams freely, our restaurant invites you to embark on a sensory journey that captures the essence of Italy’s diverse regions. Come for the vibe, stay for the food!
