Situated on the waterfront in historic Pawtuxet Village, Basta has been serving authentic Italian cuisine for over 30 years. We’re a high-end, yet approachable establishment dedicated to bringing quality and tradition to our community. Basta has received numerous accolades—including being named Best Restaurant in Rhode Island—but our greatest satisfaction comes from the happiness of our regulars and new guests alike.


Basta serves dinner five nights a week, with kitchen shifts running Wednesday through Sunday evenings, ensuring a minimum of two days off weekly. We offer both full-time and part-time hours, with overtime opportunities for those seeking to earn more!


The Line Cook is a key member of our kitchen staff, responsible for the preparation, cooking, and presentation of dishes according to the restaurant’s standards. This position demands a high level of kitchen competence and the ability to handle a fast-paced cooking environment. Experience with Italian cuisine is preferred, but not essential if you are a quick learner. Our cooks participate in every step of the operation from prep through execution and wrapping up with a clean kitchen. Quality food production, meticulous attention to details, and a solid work ethic are all components of a successful member of our culinary team.


We have solid Executive Chefs in place as well as a team with strong hospitality backgrounds to help make you successful. In return we ask that you make those around you stronger - together we can do great things!

Key Responsibilities:


  • Prepare and cook menu items in accordance with recipes and standards, ensuring each dish meets the required presentation and quality.
  • Adhere to portion control and food preparation standards to maintain product consistency and manage costs.
  • Monitor food temperatures and use thermometers to ensure food is cooked and stored at the correct temperatures.
  • Report any issues with food quality or delays in service promptly to the kitchen coordinator or chef.
  • Keep track of inventory levels for menu items, alerting management and front-of-house staff to low stock situations.
  • Ensure all dishes from the station are accounted for and meet the restaurant’s quality expectations.
  • Follow established procedures for handling food allergies and dietary restrictions to ensure guest safety.
  • Maintain strict adherence to health, safety, and sanitation guidelines, including cleaning and maintenance protocols for kitchen equipment.
  • Collaborate effectively with the kitchen team and maintain positive working relationships with all staff.
  • Undertake additional tasks as needed to support the efficient operation of the kitchen.
Key Qualifications:


  • Minimum 3 years of cooking experience for a fine dining establishment.
  • Experience in Italian Cuisine preferred but not required.
  • Proficient in preparing menu items consistently to the specified recipes and customer requests.
  • Available to work flexible shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
  • Experienced in safely utilizing a variety of kitchen tools and equipment, including sharp knives.
  • Effective communicator with the ability to follow oral and written instructions.
  • Capable of multitasking effectively under pressure in a busy kitchen setting.
  • Comfortable working in tight, potentially crowded spaces with fluctuating temperatures and noise levels.
  • Physically able to lift up to 50 pounds and stand for long periods, including moving safely around kitchen obstacles and through varied floor surfaces.
EEO Statement:
Employee must be able to perform the essential functions of the position satisfactorily and, if requested, reasonable accommodations will be made to enable employees with disabilities to perform the essential functions of their job, absent undue hardship.


Night Owl Brands is committed to an inclusive and diverse work environment. We are a proud equal opportunity employer that welcomes and strongly encourages all races, religions, nationalities, genders, the LGTBQIA+ community, and people with disabilities to apply.
