Sommelier - Rovollo & Heritage Room

Sommelier – Rovollo & Heritage Room

Rovollo Restaurant, an opulent Italian venue in Martin Place, has been operating for one year as a celebrated fine casual dining establishment. We have created a special environment in Sydney's core and are now expanding with an adjoining wine bar and private dining room. As a family-run business situated within a commercial precinct, we pride ourselves on being a generous establishment. The Heritage Room represents our next phase, and we are seeking a passionate sommelier to contribute to our ongoing growth.

The Role

This position requires an individual who will engage with guests on the floor, foster relationships, and make wine accessible without oversimplification. Our wine list comprises 60% Italian wines and 40% from other regions. We seek someone who can discuss these wines with authentic passion, not recited phrases. Responsibilities include curating and managing two distinct wine lists. Whether you are a junior sommelier developing your skills or an experienced professional seeking a new opportunity, we encourage you to apply. Your enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, and capacity to make guests feel genuinely cared for are paramount, more so than your curriculum vitae.

Our Ethos

We are committed to genuine hospitality, where guests depart feeling attended to, not merely processed. Our team cultivates a culture founded on respect, dignity, quality food, and a shared dedication to our craft.

What We Provide

• Staff meals provided on every shift
• Generous dining discounts across the Esper Group
• Overtime compensation
• Resources for training and development

Requirements

• WSET Level 2 certification minimum
• A genuine appreciation for Italian wine and food culture
• A desire to engage directly with guests, rather than working behind a desk
• Reliability, a team-oriented approach, and a strong desire to learn
