Hatted Venue jobs in Northern Beaches NSW

THE VENUE

Palazzo Salato is the Love, Tilly Group’s most ambitious venture to date; a 120-seat Roman-inspired trattoria and bar located in a heritage-listed building in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. Housed in an 1860s building on Clarence Street, Palazzo is at once brooding, warm and refined.

We serve a menu of hand-rolled pasta, bistecca and whole fish from Australia’s best sustainable farmers, alongside a dynamic lineup of antipasti, contorni and dolci. Our wine list spans approximately 100 pages with close to 800 bottles to choose from, focusing on classics from all parts of Italy with generous nods to France, Australia and the world’s most exciting new-wave producers.

We are open for lunch and dinner, Monday to Saturday.
