Giovanni Mosconi, beloved Greenwich Village restaurateur and longtime Brooklyn resident, died Tuesday after a short illness. He was 85.

Mosconi owned and operated Monte’s Trattoria and Villa Mosconi restaurants, stalwarts of the Village gastronomic scene for more than a generation.

The eldest of seven siblings, Mosconi was born in the northern mountainous region of Piacenza, Italy. He was a veteran of the Italian Army stationed at Lake Como.

In his 20s, he moved to London, where he met Lucia, his wife of 37 years and went on to become a noted restaurateur in London.

His eateries in the heart of Greenwich Village were a true family business, as Mosconi ran them with his brother and sisters.

“He had a humble, sweet and magnetic personality,” said Bob McGee, a longtime family friend. “He loved everyone and treated everyone the same. He was a very strong man with a very tender loving heart.’’

Mosconi was daily communicant at St. Anselm’s Church in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. and a devoted family man to his late wife and four children, including former Daily News reporter Angela Mosconi.

He is survived by his children Gianpaolo, Franco, Marco and Angela; seven grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; six siblings, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Viewing will be Tuesday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at McLaughlin & Sons Funeral Home in Bay Ridge. Mass will be at noon Wednesday at St. Anselm’s.

Mosconi will be be buried in London alongside his wife.
