Il Mulino
Il Mulino is, without question, the most romantic restaurant my husband and I have found in Tokyo. We love authentic Italian food, so we're thrilled when we can find anything that resembles what we've enjoyed in Italy. For us, Il Mulino is the perfect marriage of ambience and great food. The setting is dimly lit by candles. The music is subtle, and the service is gracious. We've learned to come slightly before our reservation, in order to enjoy a cocktail in the lounge, which is elegantly decorated with soft couches and low tables. After enjoying a drink, we are taken to our table, where appetizers are either waiting or appear immediately. Potatoes with garlic and bruschetta are part of the standard service. We always order a caprese salad, whichis always fresh, and is large enough for two people. The main courses range from pasta to hearty meat dishes and seafood.
Il Mulino is expensive. If you've been to the New York Grill, expect to pay similar prices. However, it's worth every cent.
