I Went here after hearing it mentioned in a Drake song (I know, embarassing, it was Pound Cake with Jay-Z if you are curious). Il Mulino is a kind of throwback to great Italian restaurants of the past and provides a sense of nostalgia for its customers. Not trying to say this is for older people trying to avoid the slew of hipster restaurants blaring mashups of 80s hip hop with electro funk (what is that exactly again?)...but it kinda is. I ordered a lobster pasta with red sauce (very informative I know) but it was really good and I have no complaints. This is a place that I'm worried will be forgotten about and cast away like an old taekwondo star (Jean Claude Van Damnne?) who just couldn't keep up with the changing of the guard. Fortunately, shout outs on Drake records never hurt anyone so maybe this place will stick around. Moreover, considereing the aristocratic neighberhood it is located in, it might very well be a stretch that this place will ever struggle to stay in business. I guess im checking out Sotto Sotto next...
Drake - Pound Cake
"After hours of Il Mulino
Or Sotto Sotto, just talkin' women and vino
The contract like '91 Dan Marino
I swear this guy Michael Rapino's boosting my ego"
