Fodor's Expert Review Il Mulino

No longer "rustic," Il Mulino has a fresh decor that matches its kitchen's uncompromising standards. This upscale, family-run trattoria in Little Italy was made over in 2008 with chocolate-brown chairs, white linens, and marble. But their signature yellow awning outside remains, so it's easy to find. The menu is well stocked with comfort food, such as roasted baby goat, roasted lamb, risotto, gnocchi, and antipasti. Wine lovers are impressed by the 250-label cellar of private imports. Free valet parking every night.
