LAS VEGAS, Nevada - Il Mulino is a quintessential Italian restaurant that preserves wholesome Italian cuisine, service and hospitality. A rustic display of fresh vegetables and traditional Italian ingredients in the reception area is a stark comparison to the dimly lit, white table-clothed formal dining room. The Maitre D’ seems to remember every returning guest and gives genuine attention to each table throughout the evening. As soon as guests are seated, tuxedoed waiters conspicuously arrive from all angles bringing complimentary appetizers like fried zucchini, muscles, bread and large chunks of parmesan cheese chiseled directly from the round. All pastas, sausages and the Lemoncello that is served from large ice vats at the end of the meal are homemade. Fresh fish is flown in daily. Everything tastes like it came from an Italian grandmother’s kitchen. The extensive wine list can be intimidating but the sommelier or Maitre D’ are helpful with making a selection. Standard entrees on the menu are reasonable for a fine dining restaurant (US$25-$50); however the recited list of specials often includes an $80 pasta with truffle oil. Side dishes are extra (US$8-$12). Dining on the exclusive balcony offers an unobstructed view of the Las Vegas strip and skyline.
