ABOUT US
Meet the Team
The Moscatello & Mulinër family
Focus on people
The “Moscatello & Mulinër” project represents a lifestyle for those who live it on a daily basis. All the team members live hospitality passionately, enjoying the pleasure of the encounter with our guests.
We will briefly tell you about each one of them.
Maria Giovanna Vischioni
Owner
Without Giovanna can be said that Moscatello & Mulinër would not exist at all: in fact, the project was developed on her family's old country house - once utilised as stable and shed.
Giovanna has been a travel agent and tour operator for many years, busy traveling the world to deliver sensational experiences to her clients.
Then, one day her father - who was called “Il Mulinër,” or “The Miller” in town - decides he wants to sell “Moscatello,” and she comes back to stop him, to take over the place that represented her roots.
In 2004 she opened the first room of Moscatello & Mulinër, marking this new phase of her life to which she has dedicated everything, and continuing to occupy an important place in her heart and days.
Lorenzo Bernardini
Co-owner and designer
Born in Trento, studied architecture in Venice, has been painting with acrylics for over 30 years (and continues to do so, between cooking and a restoration projects).
Having intercepted his own path and personalized his own way also in the kitchen, he obtained his first Michelin star in the early 1980s, and then also in his new restaurant in Valle D'Aosta years later.
Together with architect Tobia Scarpa and Chef Gualtiero Marchesi, in 2007 he performed in Milan and Verona, between design and gastronomy, in the special project of a risotto cooked in 999 silver pots designed by Arch. Scarpa for S. Lorenzo silverware in Milan.
He keeps searching for the Beautiful and the Good - painting, designing and cooking... not abandoning any of his artistic expressions, but for this last one - cooking - slowly passing the torch, right here at Moscatello & Mulinër, where he has taken care of the whole concept and the furnishings, from the restaurant to the rooms.
Andrea Feder
Chef
Born in 1994, he attended the hospitality school “because of a great love for cooking” as he likes to tell.

Andrea Feder
After completing school he had various experiences, both in Italy and abroad (including Finland, 6 months on a cruise ship in America and lastly some winters in Switzerland).
The philosophy behind his cuisine is based on a continuous search for raws and people, and a major enhancement of the land and what it has to offer.
At the beginning of 2023 he arrives at Moscatello & Mulinër, where - often - you will also see him in the dining room, ready to advise on the culinary path best suitable for you, or to share some tips on wine, another topic he is particularly passionate about.
Jessica Giroli
Reception Manager
Jessica is in charge of all things administration and hospitality, and between her and the Moscatello & Mulinër project there is a decade-long love affair.
In fact, after graduating from accounting school Jessica had some short-term work experience in the trade show industry as a promoter and hostess, but having landed here at Moscatello & Mulinër, she remained by Giovanna's side as the project evolved over the years.
Always ready to welcome you with a smile and taking care of every detail of your stay, she is a truly valuable part of our Team!
Alexis Pablo Del Bello
Restaurant manager
Born in 2000 in the province of Bergamo, he arrived in Desenzano del Garda for an internship at the Restaurant Esplanade, where he remained for 7 years thereafter.
In 2019 he starts the 1st level of the AIS Sommelier course - which extends a little longer than expected because of the pandemic - and then in January 2024 he begins the 2nd level.
In 2023 he decides to take a break from gourmet restaurants and for about a year he works first in an agriturismo, and then in a tavern.
He then discovered the reality of Moscatello & Mulinër, whose philosophy he embraced and which he considered the best choice for pursuing his career goals.
Matteo Brazioli
Sous-Chef
Matteo is one of our latest additions to the team. Born in 2003 in Desenzano but raised in Peschiera del Garda, he attended hotel school in Desenzano.
His career starts in 2019, initially working in a pescheria and then moving into the proper restaurant business.
He takes over as Andrea's Sous Chef in 2024, and to date he is a key member of our kitchen brigade.
Filippo Elia Bernardini
Chef de rang
Filippo Elia Bernardini, born in 2003, is the son of Lorenzo Bernardini.
He was born in Aosta, during the time Lorenzo was working at the prestigious “Mason de Laurent” in La Thuile, and then moved to Venice with his father when he was still very young.
After Venice, again with his father, he arrived here at Moscatello & Mulinër, where during the summer breaks he began to help with the day-to-day running of the restaurant.
Passionate about working in service, he has officially been part of the staff since 2023.
Who knows what the future holds for him!
Nelu Voinea
Plongeur and maintenance
He takes care of the plonge, supporting the kitchen.
We know Nelu since 2018, but he has been working with Moscatello & Mulinër on a permanent basis for the past 4 years, performing several other tasks in addition to his work at the wash: in fact, he oversees the chicken coop, the garden, the vegetable garden, and often takes care of maintenance.
A passionate and dedicated handyman, a pleasure to work with and whom we respect and appreciate not only as a collaborator, but also as a person.
Manjola Ukai
Chef de partie
The newest addition to the kitchen team.
Manjola was born in Albania, and arrived to Italy in 2010. In Valeggio sul Mincio she began working at Trattoria “Il Cavallino,” and later at Pastificio Remelli, where she stayed for 8 long years. After that, she diversified her work experiences for a while, finally landing at Moscatello & Mulinër.
Here she is in charge of the breakfast service, but above all she is a very valuable support for the kitchen in the busiest evenings.
