Aimo Moroni, Co‑Founder of Milan’s Aimo e Nadia, Dies at 91

A planned succession keeps the Aimo e Nadia project steady beyond its founder.

Overview

  • The restaurant’s official account announced that Moroni died overnight at 91, surrounded by family.
  • With his wife Nadia, he opened the Trattoria da Aimo e Nadia in 1962 on via Montecuccoli, which evolved into Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia and became a city landmark.
  • The restaurant earned a Michelin star in the 1980s, reflecting a style centered on recognizable ingredients and restraint.
  • Peers praised his influence, with Massimo Bottura likening his cooking to the Italian flag for its clarity and identity.
  • In 2005 Milan awarded the couple the Ambrogino d’Oro, and continuity now rests with chefs Alessandro Negrini and Fabio Pisani alongside daughter Stefania, including the Vòce Aimo e Nadia venture at Gallerie d’Italia launched in 2018 with Intesa Sanpaolo.
