| - If you love Italian food and you're in Vegas, do not miss this restaurant! I know it's hard to justify a 10,000 calorie meal when you're planning on hitting the pool the next day, but isn't decadence part of why we go to Vegas? To spoil ourselves a bit?
If you haven't been to Il Mulino before here's my advice: skip lunch, grab a date, wear something not-too-tight, and show up ready for some serious, fabulous carbs. Beware that the assortment of free munchies comes out before they even deliver the menu, so it's easy to get overly-enthusiastic about the fried zucchini, garlic bread, parmesan chunks, bruschetta, and spicy toasts and fill up on those. Delicious as they are, it's worth it to save room for the ravioli. Personally, my better half and I split a Caesar salad (an attempt to throw a vegetable into the mix), then split an order of the ravioli (which is always a "special" and not listed on the menu), then he gets the chicken parm, and we finish off with a dessert of berries and cold zabaglione. It's a meal worth savoring, so take your time and enjoy. You deserve it after losing all that money in the casino. ;)
A note about the staff - they are always amazing and incredibly attentive. And a note about cost - I believe the ravioli dish is $50 per order, which seems crazy, but if you split it and factor in all the freebies you ate the minute you sat down, it doesn't seem as bad. Make an evening of it (particularly a romantic one), and it will be worth every cent.
