1801 Purdy Llc (Aka Sardinia Ristorante) - Sardinia Ristorante, located at 1801 Purdy Ave, is a popular restaurant in Miami run by chef Antonio Gallo. "Torino, the capital of Piedmont, Italy, and home to the original white truffle from Alba, was Antonio Gallo’s playground for many years. Born and raised in this magnificent city, Antonio first encountered the magic of great cooking, helping his mother prepared fresh tomato sauce, packing it in glass containers and storing it for use in their dinners. As a teenager he started working in restaurants and shortly after came to the United States. Here he learned the language, working as a bus boy, and in 1993 after six years of traveling back and forth to Italy, working as a waiter, and restaurant manager, he and his brother opened a restaurant in Manhattan. Caffe Torino was a very successful restaurant in Greenwich Village, and became the stepping-stone for Antonio’s future. In love with New York City but tired of the cold weather he came to Miami and worked as a manager at Robert DeNiro’s Ago Restaurant, one of Miami’s favorite for celebrities and locals alike. Seeing Miami’s need for a wine-themed restaurant Antonio teamed up with Pietro Vardeu to create Sardinia, a place for great wine and an Italian culinary adventure."
