- RRogerVIPDallas - Fort Worth •48 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWhat an exceptional spot for any occasion—whether it’s a romantic date night, a business dinner, or simply an evening to indulge. The food quality is outstanding, complemented by a thoughtfully curated wine list designed to enhance every dish. The experience is effortlessly elevated by the made-to-order bread—absolute perfection. Pair that with the scallops and their rich, velvety sauce, and you’ve got a meal that’s nothing short of unforgettable. Every bite is a masterful balance of flavor, crafted with care and precision. If you’re looking for a place that truly excites the palate and delivers an unmatched dining experience, look no further.More infoMulino Italian Kitchen & BarPrice: Moderate• Italian• Raleigh•4.7
