Want Italian food that’s more than just spaghetti? Torno Subito at COMO Dempsey is the spot. This isn’t just another trattoria; it’s a neon-bright, ’60s-inspired beach party dreamed up by the legendary Chef Massimo Bottura himself in collaboration with COMO Group. The vibe is totally playful, but the food is seriously next-level. Executive Chef Alessio Pirozzi is serving up classics with a brilliant, irreverent twist.

Lingua is incredible. Chef takes veal tongue, charcoal grill it for that perfect smoky char, and slice it to just the right thickness and tender. It’s served skewered similar to one of Singapore’s local delight “satay”. Topped with a vibrant, acidic salsa verde and pickled mustard that cuts right through the richness. It’s a flavour paradox that just works.

Made in Sicily is a “deep-fried dough pillow” of genius that makes you forget thin crust! It’s light, crispy, and chewy all at once, topped with gourmet swag. We’re talking creamy pistachio sauce, fresh red prawn tartare, rich stracciatella cheese, and a squeeze of lemon. It’s like an addictive high-end seafood donut done in the most elevated and gastronomic way.

The Pasta That Gets a Standing O’; Tagliatella with Hand Chopped Wagyu Ragu is the ultimate comfort food flex. Chef Bottura loves this one, and you’ll know why instantly. Instead of boring minced meat, they use hand-chopped Wagyu beef, which gives the ragu an incredible depth and texture. The sauce clings perfectly to the delicate, egg-rich tagliatella pasta. It’s the definition of a rich, savoury hug—traditional Italian soul food, cranked up to a Michelin level.

Porchetta; If you’re rolling with a squad, order this showstopper. The kitchen team roll up that milk-fed suckling pig, roast it until the skin is shatteringly crisp, and the meat is unbelievably tender. Served with sweet, seasonal sidekicks like peach compote and Swiss chard, this dish is pure Italian indulgence, beautifully balanced. Presented gorgeously on a platter of flowers.

Torno Subito is loud, colourful, and ridiculously fun, but it never lets you forget the serious skill happening in the kitchen. Ready to book your trip to the Riviera? No need to go that far, as Torno Subito is just around the corner with ample parking at COMO Dempsey.
