About Giorgios Hospitality Group

For more than 35 years, Giorgios Hospitality Group has been a driving force in Southeastern hospitality, founded by internationally recognized restaurateur Giorgios Bakatsias. From our flagship Parizade in Durham to our celebrated portfolio of 18 distinct concepts spanning bistros, tavernas, brasseries, and a Top 100 Steakhouse, we bring the food and culture of destinations around the world to the communities we serve. In Wilmington, that includes Kipos Hellenic Cuisine, G·Prime Steak & Cellar, Fortuna Cucina Italiana, and Tomiko-San, four of the Port City's most celebrated dining destinations. Guided by our philosophy of creating unique and memorable experiences "one guest, one plate at a time," we are chef-driven, locally sourced, and deeply committed to hospitality that feels personal, generous, and unforgettable. Now, we're bringing a bold new Coastal Hellenic concept to Wilmington, and we're looking for a Chef de Cuisine to help bring it to life.
