Went here because of Drake songs. There is Forest-Hill-neighbourhood nostalgia about this pricey-place, but as a non-local, I would be hard-pressed to choose it again given the better options in Toronto.
Had some grilled octopus, carpaccio to start and linguine with truffle sauce. A dirty martini or two. Our servers were career waiters, who were very accommodating.
But, for this price (over $250 for two), in Toronto, you can get more than the usual assembled pasta dishes. You can get a chef with inspired visions for food. You can get small works of delicious art. This place does not do that.
Il Mulino does regular Italian food very competently. Therefore, the restaurant was a mix of well-to-do families having a regular meal, and super-dressed up couples having anniversary dinners.
