Full job description

Senior Chef – Italian Cuisine (Progression to Head Chef) – Sette Pizzeria e Trattoria, Malahide
Competitive salary | Full-time, permanent

Sette has been a Malahide favourite since 2022. We're an authentic Italian pizzeria and trattoria, and we're proud of the ingredients we source and the food we make with them. We're entering our biggest chapter yet. New industry-leading kitchen equipment has expanded our menu, and our catering and takeaway business is growing.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Chef with a real love of Italian cooking to lead the trattoria side of our kitchen, covering fresh pasta, meats and desserts. This is a senior role with a clear path to Head Chef for the right person, once they've proven themselves in the kitchen.

What you'll do

  • Make fresh pasta by hand every day, from filled pastas to classic shapes, with sauces made from scratch
  • Prepare and cook meat dishes, including steaks cooked precisely to order, braises and slow-cooked Italian classics
  • Make Italian desserts in-house, such as tiramisù, panna cotta and seasonal specials
  • Lead the kitchen during service and run it in the absence of senior management
  • Develop new dishes, specials and seasonal menus using sourced Italian ingredients
  • Cost dishes and manage ordering, stock rotation, portion control and waste to protect margins
  • Supervise, train and develop the kitchen team, and support kitchen rostering
  • Keep HACCP standards, allergen procedures, food safety records and cleaning schedules in place at all times

What you'll bring (essential)

  • At least 3 years' experience at a senior level (Sous Chef, Senior Chef de Partie or similar), ideally in an Italian restaurant or trattoria
  • Strong skills in fresh pasta, meat cookery and desserts
  • A solid understanding of Italian ingredients, techniques and regional dishes
  • Experience leading a kitchen team through busy service
  • A good understanding of food costs, gross profit (GP) and stock control
  • HACCP training (Level 2 minimum)
  • Availability for evenings and weekends
  • The right to work in Ireland

Nice to have

  • Head Chef or acting Head Chef experience
  • Pastry or dessert training
  • Butchery skills
  • Some Italian language

What we offer

  • Competitive salary, reviewed on progression to Head Chef
  • A clear route to Head Chef based on performance
  • Generous holiday allowance
  • Staff meals
  • Ongoing training
  • A chance to work with top-quality equipment and ingredients
  • Real progression as Sette expands

Please note: previous senior experience in Italian cuisine is essential. Applications without relevant experience will not be considered. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a paid trial shift. References will be sought and verified for all shortlisted candidates.

To apply: send your CV, including details of your Italian kitchen experience and two referees, to work@settepizza.ie by Thursday 1 October 2026.

Pay: From €17.00 per hour

Expected hours: 39.0 per week
