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! Partnership & Hiring Note: Zingaro is a partner restaurant of Fabio Viviani Hospitality Group. While we collaborate closely with the FVH team, all open positions are hired directly by Zingaro.
