The Goods from Banda Volpi

Vancouver, BC | We’re looking for a passionate and experienced General Manager to lead our dual-concept location on Commercial Drive — home to La Tana and Pepino’s Spaghetti House — and to be part of the larger Banda Volpi famiglia.

Banda Volpi — the acclaimed restaurant group behind Savio Volpe, La Tana, Pepino’s, and Elio Volpe — is recognized for creating some of Canada’s most well-regarded dining experiences. With a name that means “gang of foxes,” Banda Volpi has earned a national reputation for thoughtful cuisine, warm hospitality, and exceptional service. The group has received numerous accolades including Michelin recommendations, Vancouver Magazine awards, Gold at the Vancouver International Wine Festival, “Two Forks” by Gambero Rosso and spots on Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants.

Though distinct in concept, Pepino’s and La Tana operate as one connected space, sharing a kitchen, a team, and a spirit. Pepino’s is a lively, old-school Italian-American spot serving red-sauce classics, thick-crust pies, and legendary tiramisu. Next door, La Tana is an Italian alimentari and wine bar designed with nostalgia for the traditional Italian neighborhood markets, offering a vibrant space for enjoying handmade fresh pasta, delicious seasonal small plates, and a carefully curated list of Italian wines, vermouth, and grappa.

You’ll be responsible for all aspects of operations, guest experience, service leadership, and team development across both restaurants. If you’re a passionate hospitality leader who feels at home in both old-school charm and contemporary Italian culture — and this sounds like the next step for you — we’d love to hear from you.
