Tutti Matti is looking for an experienced and ambitious Junior Sous Chef to join our kitchen team.

This is an opportunity for a serious culinary professional who has developed strong fundamentals in a professional kitchen and is ready to take the next step in their career.

We are looking for someone with substantial line experience, strong technical skills, and the ability to work across multiple stations. Italian kitchen experience is strongly preferred, but we are equally interested in an accomplished cook with a strong foundation, curiosity, and the desire to deepen their knowledge of Italian cuisine.

At Tutti Matti, you'll have the opportunity to work closely with Chef and owner Alida Solomon, one of Toronto's longest-running and most respected restaurant chefs, and to learn within a kitchen that places a high value on technique, quality, consistency, and craft.

This is not a position for someone looking to simply work a station. We are looking for someone who wants to learn, develop, and grow into greater responsibility.

What We're Looking For The ideal candidate will have:

- Significant professional kitchen experience
- Strong experience working a busy line
- The ability to work confidently across multiple stations
- A solid understanding of professional kitchen standards, organization, timing, and cleanliness
- Strong knife skills and fundamental cooking techniques
- Experience working with fresh ingredients and from-scratch preparation
- A professional, disciplined approach to kitchen work
- The ability to communicate clearly and work effectively as part of a team
- A genuine interest in continuing to develop as a chef
- Italian restaurant or Italian culinary experience is strongly preferred

You may already have experience with pasta,



pizza, and butchery, or you may have deep experience in other areas of the kitchen. What matters most is that you bring strong fundamentals and the ability and willingness to learn. The Opportunity The Junior Sous Chef will have the prospect to develop skills across the kitchen, including:

- Pasta preparation and production
- Pizza making and dough work
- Butchery and meat preparation
- Sauce and stock preparation
- Sauté and other line stations
- Kitchen organization and prep
- Service execution and timing
- Quality control and consistency

Pizza experience is an asset, but it is not essential. A strong cook with the right foundation can be trained in Tutti Matti's approach to pizza. Likewise, candidates who have not yet worked extensively with pasta or butchery will have the opportunity to develop those skills.

Who You Are

You take your work seriously.

You understand that a great kitchen is built on preparation, consistency, communication, and respect for the craft. You're comfortable working hard, you care about what goes on the plate, and you want to become better at what you do.

You're also someone who wants to grow beyond a single station. You may be an experienced line cook ready for your first leadership opportunity, or a cook who has already begun taking on additional responsibility and is ready to develop further.





We are interested in career-minded culinary professionals, not applicants looking for a job to fill a schedule.

Why Tutti Matti?
