Career Opportunity

Boca Restaurant Group (BRG) lives and breathes for the idea of BPA — Blowing People Away. It’s what’s at the core of our organization and we are seeking highly motivated individuals with an absolute passion for food, service, and hospitality. We are eager to invite you into our culture of BPA! Our focus is to be a world-class restaurant group and offer our employees a place to grow, while focusing on family.

Boca is Chef David Falk's ode to Europe. It is a one of a kind dining experience marrying world-class, chef driven cuisine with gracious service. Home to AAA 4 Diamond Awards, Opentable’s Top 100 Best Restaurants,  #1 in Cincinnati Magazine’s Best Restaurants issue, and more. https://www.bocacincinnati.com/

In acquiring the former Maisonette building, BRG also obtained the La Normandie space located in the rustic basement. The former steakhouse was dark and cozy with a large fireplace. The space screams comfort, authenticity, and pasta! To pay homage to the ancient brick and mortar, Chef Falk developed the Sotto concept. Tenacious and restrained, hardcore and heartfelt, we practice the tradition of generations of chefs in an underground hideaway. Our menu is fire, meat, wheat, and above all, Italian. https://www.sottocincinnati.com/
