Start Your Culinary Journey at Sorellina by Giada! 

Hollywood Casino Joliet – Chicagoland’s Newest Casino Destination

 

Get ready to join the culinary team behind Sorellina by Giada, the exclusive celebrity restaurant inside the brand-new Hollywood Casino Joliet. Created by world-renowned chef Giada De Laurentiis, Sorellina combines authentic Italian flavors with modern techniques to create an unforgettable dining experience.

 

We’re building a team of passionate culinarians who want to learn, grow, and be part of something extraordinary. If you’re looking to sharpen your skills in a fine-dining kitchen and train under experienced chefs, this is your chance to step into the spotlight.

BRING US YOUR BEST.

What You’ll Do

  • Master the fundamentals: daily prep, recipe scaling, portioning proteins, and proper labeling/rotation.

  • Run and maintain entry-level stations such as garde manger, fry, or pantry.

  • Cook and finish menu items to spec, ensuring textures, sauces, and plating are perfect every time.

  • Support higher-level cooks by prepping sauces, dressings, and accompaniments.

  • Maintain sanitation and organization of your station while keeping up with the pace of a busy casino restaurant.

  • Work side-by-side with seasoned chefs, learning Italian-inspired techniques like fresh pasta and classic sauces.

What We’re Looking For

  • 6–12 months of experience as a prep or line cook, or recent culinary training.

  • Solid knife skills and attention to detail.

  • A willingness to learn concept-specific fundamentals (Italian cuisine a plus!).

  • Team-first attitude, ability to take direction, and a professional presence.

Why Join Us?

This is your chance to be part of something brand new in Chicagoland. At Hollywood Casino Joliet, you’ll be working in a celebrity-driven concept where you can build your skills, grow your career, and learn from some of the best in the industry.

Take your first big step into fine dining — with Sorellina by Giada.
