“My mum, Maria, was the ultimate host – she took great pleasure in cooking for people, serving people, welcoming people into her home and into her Deli and making people happy. She was loved and greatly respected for this in the area she lived and in the community of Dennistoun where she worked. Maria sadly passed away, too young, in 2000. However, her legacy lives on through my dad, myself and the rest of the family.

At Celino’s our aim is to welcome people into our Deli and Restaurant in the way we welcome family and friends into our home.

Claudio Celino

We seek to recruit those who are genuinely passionate about great food and who enjoy making people happy.

In front of house roles, we seek out those who are confident in themselves and enjoy talking to our customers, those who will go the extra mile to ensure that customers feel welcome and valued. In the kitchen, we look for those that are passionate about food and are committed to consistently producing high quality dishes.

We employ over 100 team members between Celino’s Alexandra Parade, Celino’s Partick and our Production Kitchen and Bakery. There are a range of roles in our business – front of house (waiting staff, bar staff, deli counter assistant), kitchen (chef de partie, commis chef, pizza chef, deli prep chef, baker, pastry chef, kitchen porter), as well as many management and support roles.
