Job Details
STARR Restaurants and James Beard Award–winning Chef Mark Ladner have reimagined Babbo — a storied Italian institution that helped define New York’s dining landscape.

Chef Ladner’s return to the very kitchen where his culinary journey began is nothing short of momentous. Building on his celebrated work at Lupa and Del Posto — where he earned two Michelin stars and a four-star New York Times review — his reimagined menu will honor Italy’s rich regional traditions through his unique and visionary lens. This is paired with a world-class wine program featuring benchmark producers and rare, cellar-worthy gems. 
 
We are currently seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Butcher to join our team as we prepare for this exciting reopening. This critical back-of-house role requires expertise in both meat and fish fabrication, a sharp eye for quality, and the ability to work efficiently in a busy, fine-dining setting. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of whole-animal butchery, fish breakdown, portioning, and product preservation—ensuring nothing goes to waste and every ingredient is handled with care.
 

This position offers a comprehensive package including:

  • An Hourly Rate of $24 - $27
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits Coverage
  • Paid Vacation Time & Sick Time
  • Commuter Benefit Program
  • Referral Bonus Programs
  • Dining Discounts at over 25 Affiliated STARR Restaurants
  • Opportunity for Career Advancement and Professional Growth

Desired qualifications: 

  • Minimum 2 years of professional experience as a butcher or fishmonger in a high-quality kitchen
  • Skilled in whole-animal breakdown, portion control, and yield optimization
  • Proficient in fish fabrication, including filleting, skinning, and pin-boning a variety of seafood
  • Familiarity with Italian cuisine and traditional cuts is a strong plus
  • Meticulous attention to cleanliness, organization, and food safety standards
  • Dependable, self-motivated, and a team player
  • Full-time availability, including early morning and weekend shifts
Babbo is an equal-opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran, or disability status.

Part of STARR Restaurants

One of New York’s most iconic Italian restaurants returns to its historic Greenwich Village carriage house with a renewed spirit. In 1998, Babbo pioneered a new style of fine dining by defying convention with bold interpretations of regional Italian dishes, embracing off-beat ingredients, and serving it all to a classic rock soundtrack. Under the guidance of Executive Chef Mark Ladner, this next chapter continues the celebration of old-world hospitality and New Yorkers’ zeal for dining out, defined by lively tableside presentations rooted in whimsy rather than formality, all within an intimate candlelit dining room. The menu balances beloved traditions like the Pasta Tasting with new signatures shaped by Ladner’s decades-long study of Italian cooking and New York’s global palates. Think chilled Venetian glass bowls of local fin fish crudo, a 49-day minestrone, and the revered 100-layer lasagna with a Detroit-style finish. A sweet finale comes by way of the transcendent saffron panna cotta and zabaglione spooned tableside from a copper tureen.
