Backwaiter

Maretta is a neighborhood restaurant in the East Village with a kitchen rooted in Northern Italian cooking.

We’re entering a new season and looking for experienced Backwaiters/Barbacks/Runners to join our FOH team.

Our menu is tight, seasonal, and changes often, with a focus on fresh pasta made in house, small plates, seasonal ingredients, and simple, thoughtful cooking, alongside a natural wine-focused beverage program + cocktails.

We’re looking for people who are:

• Warm, personable, and genuinely hospitality-driven
• Experienced in quality, full-service restaurants
• Knowledgeable about food and wine, with an interest in natural wine
• Comfortable learning a frequently changing menu
• Professional, reliable, and attentive to detail
• Comfortable working as part of a small, close-knit team
• Able to create relaxed, knowledgeable service without being overly formal

For bartenders, strong cocktail and wine knowledge is preferred.

We’re looking for people who love restaurants, food and natural wine and want to be part of a small, independently operated neighborhood restaurant entering a new season.
