I came to Il Mulino with a WagJag voucher in hand for a four-course prix fixe menu for 2.
The wines here are expensive $13.95 for a glass of 6 oz. Cabernet Sauvignon that I didn't think was a great wine.
The food at Il Mulino was very good, though attention to detail needs to improve as I was brought my soup without a spoon to drink it with and my order of cappuccino was totally forgotten about until I asked about it. I had already finished my dessert by the time it finally came. Also, no bread basket? And I doubt they do this to regular customers, but an automatic 17% gratuity was added to my bill. That didn't sit well with me. But in their defense, they charged 1% less than what Toronto Life magazine standard of 18% being the norm.
The 10 oz. striploin was the standout of the evening with a nice char and a great grilled flavour to it. They know how to cook a great steak! Their gnocchi is also pretty amazing (they have a cream sauce or tomato sauce option). Pillowy-soft and the tomatoes were extremely fresh.
One of the better Italian restaurants I've eaten at and if it weren't for the little details I would've given it a full 5 stars. If you're promoting your restaurant, the worst thing you could do is count the pennies. At the end of the day, I think the prices are a little inflated for what it is.
