About Us
Lupa is a small neighbourhood restaurant in Highbury dedicated to Roman comfort food. Brought to life by head chef Naz Hassan, the menu features crowd-pleasing, ingredients-led regional favourites that are made for sharing, from pizza bianca baked fresh each day, to hand rolled pastas and homemade desserts from pastry chef Alessandro Boscolo.

Role Overview
We’re looking for an ambitious Restaurant Manager with a real passion for food, drinks and most important of all, people.

Experience managing a busy restaurant environment is a must, as is a good knowledge of wine and food, but we’re also open to candidates looking to make the step up to running their first site. We would like to meet people who can help us take Lupa from buzzy new

We are looking for a talented individual who will fit with our culture while helping us to
elevate what we do to the next level. Specialising in Roman comfort food, our ambition is for Lupa to be the place to go for your Italian fix; casual midweek dinners, date nights and special occasions. Service will be welcoming with a genuine care for the guest, with everyone passing through the doors feeling like a ‘regular’.
