Torno Subito

Had an great experience in this restaurant! The staff was very friendly and you could notice that they focus on excellent service. I choose one of the tasting menus and was able to customize it to my preference. The dishes were creative, both in taste and presentation and the acompanied wines paired good. For a michelin star restaurant, the atmosphere might not be what exactly what you expect if it’s your first time but I think it’s as intended as it doesn’t have that extreme ‘classy’ vibe but more relaxed. Furthermore, I really appreciated that the staff took time to have a small conversation now and then and the extra ‘farewell’ dessert. Overall a great place for diner!!

Visited Torno Subito with the family for a birthday celebration. The food was superb and it took us on a culinary expedition across Italy! Our hostess was amazing, providing an Italian view to each of the condiments used in the food. Kids loved this place and surely we will be coming back to try the pizzas!!!

Overall it was a pleasant dining experience, but i don't fully understand what makes Torno Subito worth a michelin star. We shared a tartar for appetizer and each of us had a bowl of pasta. I had the tagliatelle ragu and my friend ordered the ravioli with truffle. The ravioli was really good, and the tagliatelle was also delicious but nothing really special, and the ragu tasted lighter than I expected. We also had desserts. Again, they were all good but none of them exceeded my expectations. It delivered exactly what was written on the menu, and I guess I was looking for some nice little surprises for my taste buds. Staff was friendly, and they even made efforts to writing a birthday card for me. Unfortunately, they seemed a bit distracted although the restaurant wasn't full. They didn't share their recommendation when we were ordering, didn't explain anything about the dish when it was served and kept mixing up our orders. Their ambience is casual, people walk in in flip flops and it's a family friendly atmosphere.

There are many conflicts in this concept; bearing in mind Chef Massimo reason to be! Decoration might look pleasant to some but surely not something related to the food, the music played is any set of Italian music to sound Italian, with no thinking around it at all! Service is aggressive, the waiters won’t let you speak to your invite without interrupting! Now the food; good overall; well Presented, good flavors; small Portions sometimes but my notes go there!

Although in the place were only 8 customers , the service was super slow, being with 2 children I informed them that we would prefer to order asap. The staff with 8 customers were completely unaware of the dynamics of the tables, food quality went down since 2020, I had to prompt the staff twice , to bring the food, they forgot about a dish, it took more than 10 min to prepare 2 iced coffees. Really disappointing, for the prices they charge .

One of the best Italian cuisine experiences. Facing the sea, one Michelin star 2023. Magnificent taste of all the dishes that I tried. The service was exceptional.

Contemporary and classical italian food together. I tried both set menus and i cant say one was better. Overall there were quite a few good items I was impressed. Here are my favorites. Anguilla in saor: celery and scallop tartar was amazing. Smoked eel is meh and the portion is really not enough for you to taste anything. Cavatello riviera: cavatello pasta was amazing. Consistency of the sauce, al dente texture, all great. Shrimp is out of context. Not adding anything to the food. Cervo e tartufo: venison tenderloin. I was surprised how good was it. Not gamey at all. Porchini sauce is fitting. Spigola burro e caviale: caviar and butter sauce, pretty good. Fish is a bit overcooked but not to the point that the whole meal is dry. Sauce is saving it just fine. Navigando: cod is dry as usual but I like the result of poaching it. Sauce is based on beetroot and lemon, watery but faint taste is good. Spinach is also suited well to the fish. Modena dubai: wagyu short ribs. Wagyu is in my opinion a gimmick if not a ribeye cut. This is a good course nevertheless. Deglaze sauce is potent and tasty. Pane olio e melograno: too much salt but good nevertheless. I like the ice cream and olive oil pairing. Ricotta e limone: a good desert. Mereng is too sweet but lemon Tiramisubito: a hard top made out of coffee, I like it! A good mascarpone and not so sweet taste. Overall pretty good.

I went there with my family on Christmas evening to celebrate my mum’s birthday. We had an amazing experience: the food was delicious, the staff super nice and they made us feel like home. Highly recommended!
