ABOUT OSTERIA SAVIO VOLPE
Located in the heart of Fraserhood, Osteria Savio Volpe is a lively neighbourhood osteria rooted in the spirit of traditional Italian cooking — rustic, honest, and made to be shared. Our menu features handmade pasta, wood-fired meats, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients, all served with a bold Italian wine list and the kind of warm, genuine hospitality that makes guests feel right at home.

As the original member of Banda Volpi — the acclaimed restaurant group behind Elio Volpe, La Tana, and Pepino’s Spaghetti House — Savio is part of a team recognized for creating some of Canada’s most well-regarded dining experiences. Banda Volpi (meaning “gang of foxes”) has earned a national reputation, celebrated for emphasizing thoughtful cuisine, warm hospitality, and exceptional service. The group has received numerous accolades, including Michelin recommendations, a variety of Vancouver Magazine awards, Gold at the Vancouver International Wine Festival , and placements on Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants .

Joining our back-of-house team means being part of a company that values excellence, collaboration, and craft, with opportunities to grow and evolve across all locations. We’re looking for passionate, hardworking cooks who are excited by fresh ingredients, disciplined technique, and the camaraderie of a high-functioning kitchen.
