NANI'S Kitchen
Nani's kitchen is a well equipped, clean and functional space, with tile floors, frp board and stainless walls, and has a spacious basement storage. In addition to our 'old stove' (an 8 burner, 4 place flattop), the line has been expanded to include an additional 6 burner stove, a 6 burner grill and a standing pasta cooker with rinse station. We use an imported pasta extruder and an ice cream maker for our sorbets. There is plenty of room on the line for 3 cooks. We have a 1-2 person cold line & a one person dish station.
 
 
Menu Execution
All the foods coming out of Nani's kitchen are prepared from the freshest, highest quality (organic, free-range and/or imported if possible) ingredients available. At Nani's we never use mixes or bases, but prepare everything from scratch...from breads to sauces & dressings to pastries and desserts. No shortcuts, and no cheating.
 
 
The 'C' Word! CREATIVITY!
Regarding the evening dining service: To produce the Italian dining experience at Nani's, it is very important to present the food as close to it's true 'identity' as possible. And so, with the recipes we are not creative. We believe the creativity comes in when a chef dedicates his/herself to delving deeply into a culture far away and a cuisine of long ago to bring it's beauty alive. A great chef doesn't have to just be one who 'makes' things up to outdo the latest kitchen hero, but might just be the one who learns to understand a cuisine so well s/he is able to 'cook like it's grandmothers'. Creativity at Nani's comes in other forms and from a different part of a chef's spirit. We greatly appreciate our chefs who have used and continue to use their creativity in a way which will further the knowledge of this wonderful country and it's amazing food. At dinner, the foods of a different region of Italy are featured each month with a rotation through the 20 regions. The Chefs provide the finest quality authentic Italian cuisine possible, using authentic recipes, preparation methods and presentation from all the regions of Italy.

A Note from the Owners
Nani's was opened June 10, 1990 and is a 100 seat warm and inviting restaurant serving fabulous food with great service.

"No pretensions at Nani's, just amazing food."

Nani's interior reflects the mood and atmosphere of my heritage while the exterior is faithful to the western beauty of Jackson Hole. We never have and never will use anything artificial--the chefs always have and always will prepare everything from scratch--breads and pastries included. We never use any chemicals or flavor enhancers. We use only the finest quality, authentic products -- imported when necessary and available. The pastas are generally sautéed ala minute, are light because we use only a small amount of oil to start although when we are in regions that use more oil, creams or cheeses we are true to the culture of the region. Please see the menu web pages and notice that the Classic Menu pasta section is extensive and features handmade ravioli & fettuccine, and there are several meat offerings.

What we do very well is love the Italian culture & food and love to work at making our local and tourist customers feel they've just found a bit of a hidden jewel or have them reminded of a wonderful evening across the sea.

We aren't looking for chefs to change Nani's, we are looking for professionals who will join us in leading it onward toward it's goal of developing its mission to its fullest potential.
If you are still reading this, agree with us and would like to be a part of our Nani's family please send your résumé/CV via fax to 307.733.3957 or e-mail to cparker@wyoming.com.

 
Thank you for your consideration.
