More Than a Restaurant

Maida Trattoria is a locally owned, family Italian restaurant in the heart of Old Town Fort Collins, rooted in integrity, hospitality, and community.

At Maida, we believe great restaurants are built by great people. Our goal isn't simply to serve exceptional Italian food, it is to create memorable experiences for every guest who walks through our doors. Those experiences are only possible when our team works together with professionalism, kindness, accountability, and genuine care for one another.

Every role at Maida matters. Whether you're greeting guests at the front door, preparing fresh pasta, mixing cocktails, washing dishes, serving tables, or leading a shift, your work directly contributes to the experience we create. Success here is never the result of one person—it is the product of an entire team working together.

Taking Care of Our Team

We believe that when we take care of our employees, they are better able to thrive and take care of our guests, our community, and our business. We are committed to creating a workplace where talented restaurant professionals can work hard, make great money, grow professionally, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Depending on position and eligibility, we offer:

  • Competitive pay

  • Flexible and accommodating scheduling

  • Performance-based bonuses and opportunities for growth

  • Medical, dental & vision benefits for eligible full-time employees

  • Employee perks and benefits

  • A collaborative, inclusive, and toxic-free workplace

  • A strong team of experienced, hardworking restaurant professionals

Who We're Looking For
