Andrea Moccia
as a guide

Andrea comes from Naples – his roots run deep in the culinary culture of southern Italy. That is where he learned his craft: light, aromatic, pure. Inspired by the sea, the rhythm of nature and the patience that good cuisine requires. He carries this heritage with him to this day in every movement, every reduction, every plate.

In South Tyrol, Andrea has found his culinary language – one that combines Mediterranean warmth with Alpine clarity. His cuisine is refined and understated, focusing on the essentials and playing with contrasts without being loud. Whenever possible, the ingredients are sourced locally – fresh, seasonal and responsibly chosen.

What Andrea particularly associates with Feuerstein is more than just taste. It is an attitude: family is the focus. Quality is not a trend, but a conviction. And sustainability begins with the decision of how to treat a product. As a father of two, Andrea knows how important it is to create a place where people can come together – at the table, in conversation, in enjoyment. That's why he came up with the unique idea of offering a family evening at the gourmet restaurant.

At Artifex, Andrea lives this philosophy with dedication, clarity and a lot of heart. His dishes tell of origin and craftsmanship, of conviction and encounter – and of the quiet joy when everything comes together.
