Line Cook

Corte is a new neighborhood restaurant opening in Philadelphia's East Market district in Fall 2026. Our menu will center on ingredient-driven cooking from the wood-fired oven, alongside handmade pastas, seasonal vegetables, and a focused selection of Italian wines and classic cocktails.

The restaurant is being built around familiar but ambitious food and genuine hospitality. Led by Executive Chef David Feola (Vernick Food & Drink, Ember and Ash, Hearthside; partner in Corio), we are building an opening team of people who take ownership, contribute ideas, and want to grow with the restaurant.
