Located on Via Solferino in Milan, Dry cocktail bar serves just the essentials, pizza and cocktails, in a stripped-down, neo-industrial setting. A venture of John Florins, Andrea Berton, Diego Rigatti, and Titian Vudafieri of food.different, Dry was designed by Vudafieri Saverino Partners and specializes in screening art videos (see Extra Dry). It’s become a favorite with the fashion set, who arrive late and stay late.
