So when the investors came to Dubai, saw Torno Subito and the concept behind it, they said, this would work in Miami so well. So we’re doing it, saying come to Italy with me but it will also be Miami.” A sampling of the Torno Subito menu.
Cristian Gonzalez That’s the framework as explained by Michelin three star chef Massimo Bottura of this city’s Torno Subito opening August 21 in downtown Miami atop the multicultural food hall Julia & Henry’s which opened last year. The overall tone is that fun and whimsy that he first experienced in Miami combined with the similar spirit of the Italian Riviera during the La Dolce Vita era of the 1960’s. The décor is sunny and bright—a vivid red bar and yellow pizza oven surrounded by red, yellow and black and white striped banquettes and chairs, the colors of his childhood visits to the beaches in Rimini.
Additional whimsy is provided in the black and white photos dotting the walls, such as one of a foot (Bottura’s) lassoed by rope from below, apparently meant to signify his staff trying to keep him somewhat earthbound.
