Torno Subito

The Moore’s latest tenant is no stranger to large spaces and fluctuating crowds. Torno Subito, Massimo Bottura’s playful Italian restaurant, first opened atop downtown Miami food hall Julia & Henry in the summer of 2024, lasting only 10 months. Now, the lauded chef’s only Miami restaurant has landed on the ground floor of a historic Design District building—cozier, more compact and with a well-heeled crowd to match its refined menu.

The vibe: Torno 2.0 swaps Downtown’s Memphis Group aesthetic for more restrained, but equally punchy interiors, featuring pops of yellow décor, Kelly-green upholstered booths and walls lined with colorful modern art. Waiting for a table? Take a beat on the chic red couches near the back of the restaurant.

The food: Dishes are intentional and the plating is precious, with the most popular items bearing cheeky names, like the Ciao Modena! (balsamic vinegar–glazed American wagyu short rib, pineapple gel and carrots three ways); Cacio e Pepe in Miami (spaghetti, pecorino cheese, black pepper, Florida citrus essence); and the Rockster Roll (warm lobster, toasted bun, horseradish, lettuce, tartar sauce, pickled red cabbage). Don’t be surprised to spot similar ingredients used throughout the menu—curbing food waste is a priority here, and we love to see it.

The drink: Award-winning bartender Valentino Longo (of ViceVersa fame) created the cocktail menu, pouring his culture and know-how into concoctions such as the limoncello drop and the Torno martini, finished with a subtle hint of apple.

Time Out tip: The pasta tasting menu is an excellent option for first-timers tempted by too many great choices (I know I was). Dishes are portioned perfectly and move from starter to main, ticking off all the hits—including Massimo Bottura’s signature handmade tortellini in creamy Parmigiano Reggiano sauce.
