Brought to you by the A16 Restaurant Group, Lucania is inspired by Southern Italian piazzas.

Lucania becomes a place you can return to at any hour and find it alive, adding a sense of energy and gathering the Ferry Building has not consistently held.

We are seeking experienced Baristas with an innate sense of true hospitality and a genuine love of food and wine. In addition to our authentic Southern Italian menu, we take pride in a wine program rooted in Southern Italy.

• Strong communication skills and attention to detail
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
