We are hiring Hosts for Santi!

Michael White, the renowned chef, restaurateur and innovator who helped define Manhattans modern Italian restaurant scene with destinations like Marea, Ai Fiori, and Osteria Morini, has made his return to New York with the opening of Santi, from his BBianco Hospitality Group. Situated in the heart of midtown at Tishman Speyers 520 Madison Avenue, Santi explores seasonal Italian cooking through the lens of Whites many years living in Italy and the South of France, offering both a culinary retrospective and an exciting next step in his storied career.

The name Santi is derived from a fond memory of Whites culinary mentor, Gianluigi Morini, a chef and bon vivant who helmed the kitchen at San Domenico. Eager to taste the dishes from the kitchen, he would wave off a plate and utensils and say: Le mani degli chef sono come le mani dei santi The hands of chefs are like the hands of saints. At Santi, Whites menu retells the story of his years living and working in Imola, the Amalfi coast, and the South of France, with a menu consisting of handmade pastas, meats, fish, vegetables, crudos, rotating specials, and large format dishes. It builds on his 36 years in the kitchen and traverses the whole of the Italian peninsula with a focus on seasonality. There will be wild game, truffles, and ragouts in the fall, ephemeral green market produce in the spring, and rare ingredients from across the globe incorporated thoughtfully and with nuance.

Hosts work under the guidance of our Maitre 'd and alongside our service team to ensure a seamless and exceptional experience for every guest, reflecting the standards and culture of the restaurant and BBianco Hospitality Group.
