Annette Recommends Tonino Lamborghini Tonino Lamborghini Caffe Corsa in The Village at Gulfstream Park

Posted on    by

Tonino Lamborghini Caffe Corsa in The Village at Gulfstream Park is a really wonderful Italian restaurant.    The staff was outstanding, the food was amazing and the prices were very good, expectally for the quality of food you receive.

Okay here we go, first they brought over a basket of bread and three sauces, olive oil with balsamic vineger, sun-dried tomato, and a herb cheese.  The first course was an arugula and parmesan salad with a lemon dressing, and I have to say this was one of the best salads I have had, it was very light and really, really good.

And then next we had a meat, cheese and marinated vegetable plate with baby artichokes, eggplant caponata, proscuitto di parma, salami, fresh paramesan and goat cheese with bread, seaved with Mandra Rossa Nero D’Avola red wine from Sicilla. I have to say that the fresh paramesan was so good I think I ate almost all of it by myself, the eggplant caponata was amazing, all of it was so good, tried not to eat to much still had more to come.

Then we had a sample of three differnet pastas. First was my favorite, the Fettucin Ai Funghi Misti (fettuccine with mix wild mushrooms and truffle oil), Ravioli Di Zucca (butternut squash ravioli with butter and sage) and Gnocchi Al Pesto Di Zucchini E Ragout Di Gamberi (potato gnocchi with zucchini pesto, shrimp ragout and grape tomato). We were served a Blackstone Merlot with the pasta. All three pastas where outstanding and amazing.

Then we had the Branzino Al Forno (roasted mediterranean sea bass, lemon artichokes, asparagus). The way it was prepared you could taste the sea bass and it was so good, the asparagus where cooked just right, a little Al dente and the flavor was awesome.

Okay now for dessert, we had the Italian cheese cake, made with Ricotta cheese, I loved it!  It was different then the New York Style cheesecakes I am used to,  but I have to say I think I may like this style better.  We also had a Vanilla Bean Custard (I cant remember the name) with berries. It was AMAZING, very light and so yummy. We where served a Pinot Grigio from Sicila that went with dessert beautifully.

Addendum from James: Tonino Lamborghini Caffe Corsa is an excellent value for the money. From the name, Lamborghini, of course I assumed that it would be pricey, but actually the prices are very reasonable, more in the range of a family restaurant. Entrees range from around $15 to $25, pizzas are about $13 to $18, and the goodly sized salads are $10 to $15. However, the food is so much better than the prices indicate. Many of the ingredients are sourced directly from Italy. Much of the menu items are handmade on site and you can really tell the difference in taste.

I would call Tonino Lamborghini Caffe Corsa homestyle Italian food. Food as if you were in Italy visiting your Italian grandmother. It does have a bit of a world-fusion twist to it, as well. Many of the items will be unfamiliar to the average diner, but the staff is extremely knowledgeable, so be sure to ask them about the food. Highly recommended.

Tonino Lamborghini Caffe Corsa Opens in The Village at Gulfstream Park

Posted on    by

TONINO LAMBORGHINI CAFFÉ CORSA OPENS ITS FIRST US LOCATION

Tonino Lamborghini, whose father introduced the world to the ultra-sleek Lamborghini sports car, has parlayed his generational sense of style and decadence into Tonino Lamborghini’s Caffé Corsa, at the new Village at Gulfstream Park in Hallendale, FL. An upscale Italian eatery, with all the style you expect from the Lamborghini name, Tonino Lamborghini is the newest locale for light bites, cocktails or a full dining experience, set within South Florida’s hottest outdoor entertainment destination for shopping, dining and nightlife.

Under the direction of Italian-born Executive Chef Paolo Del Papa, the restaurant presents homemade pastas, assorted meats and cheeses, fresh salads, handcrafted Neapolitan pizzas and traditional Italian desserts. Signature dishes include the Penne Alla Bolognese Lamborghini Style, Branzino Al Forno with lemon artichokes and asparagus, and La Milanese, veal with arugula, tomato and lemon dressing. An extensive wine list curated by master sommelier Massimiliano D’Agostino offers a taste of the varied regions of Italy and the Tonino Lamborghini brand while cocktail creations include the Lambor-Mosa with Maker’s Mark, orange juice, maple syrup and Prosecco, and the Café Chocolate Tini, Grey Goose, white and dark chocolate liquors and espresso.

The restaurant is distinguished by a clean, modern Italian design that incorporates elements of Tonino Lamborghini’s rich history of panache and elegance. The bold black, red, white and silver color palate is drawn from the famed charging bull logo whose shield silhouette is also reflected in the ceiling design. Luminous wall-sized photos showing historical Lamborghini family pictures are mixed with modern art work, subtly linking the past and present. The retro vibe is further enhanced by blending modern finishings, sleek leather banquettes and onyx tabletops with rough, textured flooring that evokes the Italian tradition of hand craftsmanship.

Hours: Open for brunch, lunch and dinner. Mon–Wed 11:30am-11pm | Thur-Fri 11:30am-midnight | Sat 10:30-midnight | Sun 10:30am-10pm
