Union Square Hospitality Group is seeking Bartenders to join the opening team at our brand new concept, Vini e Fritti!

Vini e Fritti, located in the Redbury Hotel, is a Roman-style aperitivi bar, celebrating the marriage of bubbles and salty, crispy antipasti. To drink, the bar offers a sprawling list of value-driven Champagnes rounded out by a focused selection of Italian reds and whites, craft beers, refreshing spritzes, and other traditional cocktails. Executive Chef Joe Tarasco’s concise menu includes casual and unfussy small plates like fritto misto, housemade straciatella, and marinated vegetables. Vini e Fritti evokes the easy accessibility and rustic comfort of a Roman wine bar, where locals go to grab a quick drink and shared bite before heading home—or to extend the evening with a spread that turns into dinner.
