After traveling the United States, Gianni Andreini decided he was ready to make a change -- he wanted to pack up his life in Florence to start a new journey in New York.
To make it happen, he teamed up with two Italian friends, Federico Bernocchi and Andrea Soldini, both of whom had been residing in the city for years. Together, the team decided to open Miusa Wine Bar (98/A South 4th Street, Brooklyn; 718-782-2081) in south Williamsburg.
