New York Magazine says, “If you’re tired of Italian restaurants trying to out-Molto each other, this old-school spot is your salvation. Run by the seven Mosconi siblings since 1976, the Northern Italian menu is particularly influenced by the family’s roots in Emilia-Romagna. Chef Pietro Mosconi leads the kitchen, making his own pastas and mozzarella and simmering sauces. The restaurant has been serving the same great food under the guidance of the Mosconi family since 1976. Zagat says, “Grandma would be proud of the real-deal Italian eats at this old-school Villager, where a delightful staff has been slinging smack-your-lips-good classics since 1976.” Award winning chef Pietro Mosconi was born in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy in a small village in the province of Piacenza. It was here where Pietro was first exposed to traditional Northern Italian cuisine that had a profound influence on his cooking today. In 1976, Pietro with his siblings opened Villa Mosconi and with its success they purchased the old-time favorite Monte’s Trattoria in 1983. In addition to his daily involvement with his two eateries, Pietro participates in mentoring young chefs through apprentice programs and was named the Employer of the Year by the Summit School. He also serves as a member of several culinary organizations including the Chaine de Rotisseurs and Les Amis D’Escoffier Society of New York. In 2007, Pietro was honored at the James Beard house and hosted an Italian luncheon. Pietro was the recipient of Chef of the Year in 2005 from the Chefs de Cuisine Association of America and was elected President of the organization in 2010. Our 4-course meal starts off with a shared anti-pasta course, a pasta course, a choice of entrees and dessert. Please NOTE: Pre-dinner drinks and extra drinks are CASH BAR ONLY
