Massimo Bottura, the world-famous chef behind the three-Michelin-starred Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, recently opened his first solo project in the US, Torno Subito Miami.

The drinks are created in collaboration with New York’s Dante, and the design is bright, bold, and colorful, inspired by Bottura’s childhood memories of the Italian Riviera in the 1960s.
