We have been going to IL Mulino for years. We recently introduced a friend to IM who enjoyed it so much that we made reservations again so he could bring his partner who was out of town the previous time. We each started with cocktails or wine and then our friend started with Caesar salads. We had the chicken piccata, chicken Marsala, the crusted mahi mahi, and the shrimp scampi. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We then shared 3 desserts and several of us had Expresso martinis to end the evening! All delicious. Our waitress Diana was gracious and attentive. We will be back.
