Host

Babbo
New York, NY

STARR Restaurants and James Beard Award–winning Chef Mark Ladner are reimagining Babbo — a storied Italian institution that helped define New York’s dining landscape — with a bold new chapter debuting this October.

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.

Now Hiring: Poised, warm, and gracious Hosts to be the welcoming faces of Babbo. As the first point of contact, you set the tone for the guest experience—creating an immediate sense of hospitality and ensuring every visit begins with ease and professionalism. From managing reservations to warmly greeting regulars and first-time diners alike, you are essential to the flow of service and the lasting impression we leave.

This position offers a comprehensive package including:

  • An hourly rate of $18 - 26
  • Paid Vacation and Sick Time
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits Coverage
  • Commuter Benefit Program
  • Referral Bonus Programs
  • Dining Discounts at over 25 Affiliated STARR Restaurants
  • The opportunity for career advancement and growth

Qualifications:

  • Poise and precision, with a natural inclination toward warmth and gracious hospitality
  • 2+ year of experience in a busy/well rated NYT restaurant as a host or reservationist
  • Familiarity & experience operating OpenTable or Resy reservations systems
  • Ability to speak clearly and articulately on the telephone, providing information and answering questions for callers, while focusing on etiquette and conveying a sense of calm
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.
