Mosconi

Mosconi is one of Luxembourg’s most distinguished dining addresses, holding a Michelin star and a place of honour within the Relais and Châteaux collection of exceptional hotels and gourmet restaurants worldwide. Founded in 1986 by Ilario and Simonetta Mosconi, who hail originally from Lombardy in northern Italy, the restaurant occupies a handsome townhouse in the Grund district of Luxembourg City, overlooking the tranquil River Alzette. Chef Ilario Mosconi made history as the first Italian chef outside of Italy to receive a Michelin star for Italian cuisine in the Benelux region. His cooking philosophy is founded on the Italian virtues of first-class ingredients, everything made in-house, and a deliberately restrained culinary approach that allows the character of each product to sing. The menu is notably generous, featuring an extensive à la carte offering as well as a celebrated pasta tasting menu that draws guests from across Europe. Signature compositions include impeccably cooked squab breast paired with truffle, black beans cooked in squid ink, and langoustine pasta. The homemade pasta itself is widely cited as among the finest available anywhere outside Italy. The restaurant exudes swish elegance, with gracious service led by Simonetta, who presides over the dining room with warmth and natural authority. Mosconi is a genuine institution and an unmissable destination for lovers of Italian haute cuisine.
