*****  Il Mulino, 1800 East Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33304 (954) 524-1800.

Il Mulino is an absolutely fabulous red sauce Southern Italian Restaurant. Its decor is a bit more upscale looking than your typical joint, but you will be just fine in your tee shirt/shorts ensemble.

Take a look at Il Mulino’s website www.ilmulinofl.com for menu/pricng/and other details.

Il Mulino’s menu runs the full gamut of appetizers, soups, salads, pastas, pizzas and fish-chicken-veal-meat entrees.

Trust me on this, Il Mulino’s stuff is excellent. It’s prices are no more than your favorite neighborhood joint. Just so you know, Il Mulino has an absolutely huge following. Over the years, I must have eaten at Il Mulino at least 10 times and every  dinner outing was packed with people waiting to get in.

Il Mulino is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner…11:30am-11pm.

Keep this joint on your “must try” radar. It is heads and shoulders above the “local” joints that dot South Floirda’s red sauce landscape.
