Bartender, Prezzo Italian
The first drink sets the tone for the whole night. Make it yours.
You can't miss Prezzo Italian right now. Our refurbished restaurants look stunning, with more on the way, and the food has never been better. Guests are noticing and the momentum is real. Now we need Bartenders who love their craft and love the buzz of a busy restaurant.
Who we are
Brava Hospitality Group is the home of great restaurant brands. We're the group behind Prezzo Italian, in towns and cities right across the UK, and a collection of much-loved central London restaurants: Jamie's Italian, Riding House Caf , Nessa, Yasmin, Mortimer House Kitchen and, most recently, Bolo by Gennaro. And we're growing the footprint of every one of our brands. We're restaurant people at heart, and we believe every guest deserves brilliant food and exceptional hospitality from teams who love what they do.
Prezzo Italian has been bringing the Italian classics to towns and cities across the UK since 2000. For our 25th birthday we gave it a fresh start: a brand-new look, beautifully redesigned restaurants, and a menu built around the dishes people love, made fresh and cooked properly. Prezzo Italian is the home of the Italian classics.
We're a business on the way up, and the people who join us now will shape where it goes next.
The role
As a Bartender at Prezzo Italian, you run the bar that keeps the restaurant moving. From a perfect spritz to a glass of wine matched to a guest's pasta, you make every drink with care and serve it with personality.
At Prezzo Italian, it all comes down to two things: the impression we make and the connections we build. Every guest should leave feeling genuinely looked after, not just served. That starts with how we treat each other. Teams who look out for one another, have fun together and take pride in what they do create the moments guests remember and come back for.
What you'll be responsible for
Crafting great drinks
Make cocktails, coffees and drinks to our specs, quickly and consistently.
Know our drinks list and recommend with confidence, from aperitivo to digestivo.
Keep the bar stocked, organised and spotless.
Delivering exceptional hospitality
Welcome guests at the bar and make every first impression count.
Keep drinks flowing to the floor so tables never wait.
Serve alcohol responsibly and follow licensing rules every time.
Being part of the team
Work closely with front of house and the kitchen so service runs smoothly.
Help with stock counts, deliveries and keeping waste down.
Jump in wherever you're needed when it gets busy.
What we're looking for
Are you a Prezzo person? You're warm, genuine and generous with your time. You love great food and you love people even more. You make every guest feel welcome from the moment they walk in, you lift the team around you, and you take pride in getting the little things right. You bring energy, a sense of fun, and the confidence to make the call.
Bar experience in a busy restaurant, bar or hotel.
Speed and accuracy, even when the tickets are stacking up.
A passion for drinks and a curiosity to learn more.
A friendly, confident way with guests.
Not a cocktail expert yet? If you have the passion, we'll help with the rest.
