A couple of popular sayings spring to mind when considering Adelaide\u2019s new\u00a0Bar Torino \u2013 in particular \u201cgood things take time\u201d and \u201cit runs in the family\u201d.\u00a0For owner Nick Favaro, good food and drink is in his blood.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though it only opened in February this year Nick\u00a0says Bar Torino has been \u201cin the works\u201d for ten years. With his Italian family in hospitality for over\u00a0three decades now and Nick\u2019s long-term ambition\u00a0to start his own venture, the sustained dreams and\u00a0hard work have paid off with a successful opening\u00a0and ongoing patronage.<\/p>\n

After finding a suitable site for the bar in 2013\u00a0Nick left behind a career as an accountant and\u00a0embarked on a research trip to Europe. Here,\u00a0he focused on exploring his Italian heritage and\u00a0learning as much as possible about how Italians and\u00a0Spaniards eat, drink and enjoy life.<\/p>\n

Now, with Nick and his sister Jessica running\u00a0Bar Torino and the pair sharing ownership with\u00a0their parents, the family has together shaped the\u00a0venue into a unique and memorable dining and\u00a0drinking destination. The bar\u2019s popularity is due in\u00a0no small part to the balance it delivers.<\/p>\n

The food is fun, relaxed and communal. The \u201cbar bits\u201d menu\u00a0includes such tempting tastes as house-cured meats and popcorn\u00a0drizzled with honey butter \u2013 then served with salted caramel\u00a0sauce. The interior of the bar also has a warm, European feel with\u00a0whitewashed walls, black tiles and lots of rustic, wooden tones.<\/p>\n

Open for 11 hours a day, six days a week, and with seating for 120\u00a0people, demand on the kitchen is considerable. The kitchen and\u00a0bar area is also on display to patrons. So it\u2019s important that it\u2019s in\u00a0keeping with the contemporary, sophisticated fit-out.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”1875″ image_size=”medium” frame=”noframe” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ fullwidth=”no” lightbox=”yes” link_target=”_self” caption_pos=”hover” width=”1\/3″ el_position=”first”] [spb_text_block title=”IN THE KITCHEN” animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ width=”2\/3″ el_position=”last”]\n

When setting up their kitchen Nick turned to Moffat, before installing\u00a0a whole range of the high performing Waldorf 800 Series<\/a><\/span> equipment.\u00a0This includes a Waldorf twin pan gas fryer, a chargrill, salamander,\u00a0cooktop and target top.<\/p>\n

To add to this impressive line-up of powerful equipment, Bar Torino\u00a0has installed a 10.10 and 6.10 gas Convotherm<\/a> <\/span>combi-steamer oven as\u00a0the double-stacked backbone of the kitchen. There\u2019s also a Turbofan<\/a><\/span>\u00a0prover holding cabinet, a Friginox blast freezer and for a productive\u00a0dishwashing solution, a Wexiodisk<\/a><\/span> dishwasher and Washtech<\/a><\/span>\u00a0dishwasher.<\/p>\n

With a technology line-up like this, and Nick\u2019s passion helping to\u00a0drive it, Bar Torino will continue to offer culinary treats and beverage\u00a0delicacies \u2013 bringing people together to share in his Italian dreams.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
