SINGAPORE – Italy in the late 1960s, summers on the beaches of the Adriatic Riviera – that sun-drenched, dolce vita vibe permeates Torno Subito, Italian chef Massimo Bottura’s newly opened restaurant in Dempsey Road.
A mannequin of a bagnino or lifeguard, in a red tank top and blue-and-white striped shorts, surveys the 110-seat restaurant from atop the bar area. Terrazzo tabletops, comfortable chairs and a black-and-white checkerboard floor spell casual and breezy, although the furniture is handmade in Italy.
