Sip, Savour, and Soak in La Dolce Vita with a Fresh Lineup of Coastal-Inspired Creations and Complimentary Bar Snacks
Torno Subito, the vibrant Italian dining destination at COMO Dempsey by renowned chef Massimo Bottura of the three-Michelin-starred Osteria Francescana, invites guests to embrace the golden hours with AperiTorno. This is the restaurant’s take on Italy’s beloved pre-dinner ritual of enjoying drinks and light bites in good company. Available Wednesday to Friday, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, AperiTorno offers each cocktail at a special price of $15++, paired with complimentary bar snacks.
The menu for AperiTorno spotlights Torno Subito’s brand-new ‘Cocktails by the Coast’ collection — an homage to Italy’s most breathtaking seaside escapes. Priced at $22++ outside of AperiTorno hours (mocktails at $14++), these nine crafted tipples blend creativity and nostalgia, reimagining la dolce vita in every sip.
Each cocktail captures the essence of Italy’s coastal charm, offering a taste of the Mediterranean spirit:
Twist on the Spritz offers a citrusy, effervescent start. It is a refreshing nod to Jesolo, blending Aperol, Prosecco, and San Pellegrino Limonata for the perfect midday pick-me-up.
Cooler Than a Bellini transports guests to Lampedusa with a vibrant mix of Prosecco, St-Germain liqueur, lychee liqueur, prickly pear, pomegranate, and lemon.
Pesto Sour offers a bold yet fragrant twist, taking inspiration from the aromatic landscapes of Portofino, Cinque Terre and Sanremo. Jasmine infused Grey Goose Vodka, lemon, and basil create a uniquely herbal and refreshing profile.
Fichissimo draws from the old coastal town of Gallipoli, offering a symphony of sweet, citrusy, and floral notes. Bombay Sapphire Premier Cru, Botivo Botanical, fig, lemon, and grapes blend seamlessly for a complex yet balanced sip.
The G&T is a strikingly balanced cocktail reminiscent of Forte dei Marmi’s seaside-meets-mountain charm. Featuring Poli Marconi 46 Gin, redcurrant, agave, and hibiscus tonic, it delivers both vibrancy and depth in each sip.
Pesca di Riviera pays tribute to the golden beaches of Riviera Romagnola and Emilia-Romagna — home to Massimo Bottura himself. Diplomático Planas Rum, Heering Cherry liqueur, peach, and pear combine to offer a smooth and elegant indulgence.
Sunburnt takes inspiration from Calabria’s famous chilli peppers, delivering a fiery concoction of olive oil fat-washed Herradura Plata Tequila, Cointreau, blood orange, and chilli water — a perfect choice for those craving a spicy adventure.
Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu, an ode to the Amalfi Coast, presents a tart and citrusy mix of Dewar’s 15-year-old Scotch Whisky, clarified tomato, basil, lime, and grapefruit, evoking the fresh, sun-kissed flavours of the region’s iconic lemon groves that line the coastal roads of Salerno and Sorrento.
Shakerato is a bittersweet sipper inspired by the journey from Cefalù to Taormina, channeling the bold spirit of Sicily with Campari, Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino, and cold brew coffee.
For guests seeking a non-alcoholic option, each cocktail is also available in a zero-proof rendition, crafted with premium non-alcoholic spirits including Sabatini 0.0, Conviv, NON, and Botivo — delivering the same storytelling and flavour experience, without the alcohol.
