The capital of São Paulo is receiving another branch of Modern Mamma Osteria, known as Moma, in the western region. The restaurant, run by chefs Salvatore Loi and Paulo Barros, was opened on Oscar Freire Street, in Jardins – one of the main luxury consumer centers in the city.

The restaurant was designed by architect Octavio de Sanctis, who is responsible for the group’s other establishments, including the Ella Fitz bar-restaurant, also in the western part of the city. The establishment has 600 m² of built area, including a dining room open to the sidewalk, and seats 110. The investment for the project was R$6.5 million.

“We always wanted to bring Moma to Jardins,” says Barros. “We found the perfect spot on the corner of Oscar Freire and Padre João Manuel streets. It’s a prime area,” says the chef.

In the background, there is a shelf with several bottles of drinks arranged in an organized manner. The space is well lit, with large windows that allow natural light to enter. The floor is light and the design is contemporary.
