Job Description

NoHo Hospitality   is seeking   Bartenders   to join the opening team at  Café Carmellini in   The Fifth Avenue Hotel .

Café Carmellini is the signature restaurant from James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini. The name  Café Carmellini is a nod to the Carmellini family’s coffee importing business in Tuscany that thrived for 120 years. Here Chef Carmellini distills his 30-year career cooking in New York City into an extraordinary dining experience while marking his return to fine dining: his food marries Italian and French cooking to a classic New York feel and a modern vibe.

Chef Carmellini’s menu draws on various sources of inspiration: some of his dishes are an ode to a place or to his family history, while others are platonic ideals that have been perfected over the years. The wine program is curated by Master Sommelier Josh Nadel and features a unique, comprehensive 1,800-bottle wine list featuring acclaimed Italian, French, American and other worldly producers. The design of   Café Carmellini   imbues the landmark building’s original neoclassical architecture with maximalist style, channeling stately Old New York elegance.   Café Carmellini   features a welcoming kitchen, an intimate bar, two grand sculptural trees, and balconies offering tete-a-tete dining experiences with a view of the action.
