Il Mulino rocked. Not so Bice. Bice was self-important; IlMulino felt important.
The menu, service, wine whatever….was world class. Il Mulino was, in other words, ‘old world/old money’ whereas Bice was like the guy with bad skin and a weird color tan who wears Versace at 50ish and has a too-blonde (bad) breast implant babe on the passenger seat of his flashy leased car.

Ditto that. Totally jinxed space.

Saying you can’t have fine Italian is like saying you can’t have fine American. The food was solid and the space was beautiful but the location is a killer. Access sucks. Just ask Sam’s, We Oui, Gumbo’s, etc.

Actually, I don’t think it has to do with the prices (hello, Fearings, Mansion, and Aurora) as it does with restaurants imported from elsewhere. Dallas folk just couldn’t warm up to the likes of Il Mulino and Bice because they weren’t homegrown.

A friend and I were going to dinner the other night for her birthday. The choices? Bice, N9NE, Craft, and Hibiscus. We toured the menus online, gulped at the prices, and settled on the delicious yet affordable Salum. My struggling 401(k) thanked me later.

Son of a Bice!
Can you relly have “Fine Itialian.” I know Italian restaurants may be know for their more elegant setting, but isn’t that allot like saying, “Fine Mexican”, or “Fine Chinese.” I dunno, to me Italian food should #1 always be full of garlic and #2 affordable.
