About us
The Pierini brothers
Leading figures on the Italian gastronomic scene for over forty years, Gastone and Franco Pierini have always approached every new venture as a challenge and an opportunity to improve and innovate. Their adventure began as children, helping in their mother’s bar. Throughout their careers, they have achieved significant success with restaurants such as “La Fattoria” (one of the largest in Europe with 1,600 covers), “Caffè Italiano”, “La Buvette”, and “Pro Loco Pinciano”, a benchmark for quality products from the Lazio region.
Moma, founded in 2010 and—thanks to Chef Andrea Pasqualucci—awarded a Michelin star since 2018, embodies the Pierini brothers’ gastronomic vision based on collaboration with small Italian farmers, artisans, and breeders. This teamwork is developed through dynamism and shared ideals with the entire Moma staff who, in a deliberately informal yet elegant and convivial setting, bring stories of ideas and the future to the table every day through a cuisine rooted in quality and tradition.
Chef
Andrea Pasqualucci
Executive Chef — 1 Michelin star
Born in 1989, Chef Andrea Pasqualucci began his journey under the skilled hands of Chef Armando De Giorgi—considered his mentor—after completing his studies at the IPSSAR in Tor Carbone. De Giorgi primarily taught him a love for good food. This visceral passion drove him to immerse himself in the study and refinement of the most sophisticated culinary techniques to best express his culinary vision.
Giuseppe Di Iorio at Aroma, Oliver Glowig at Aldrovandi, and Moreno Cedroni at Madonnina del Pescatore are the great masters who trained him before he arrived at Moma in 2017, where he was awarded a Michelin Star in 2018.
Sharing the Pierini brothers’ commitment to a short, transparent, and ethical supply chain, the focus on flavors enhanced by extensive technical expertise and the utmost care for plate aesthetics make his a cuisine of great character, speaking of territory and seasonality, tradition and modernity.
