Who said lunch is simply meant for a quick and rushed experience during the workday? Or even any other day. At times, you want to treat yourself. For example, is it necessary to hold off when it comes to enjoying delectable food in an elegant environment? I’m here to say no, especially after experiencing the new lunch menu at Il Mulino New York – Miami in Acqualina Resort and Residences. Let’s just say it’s worth the visit.
Il Mulino New York – Miami is an elegant staple in Sunny Isles Beach. When you visualize and hope for a beautiful space where you can dine and at the same time hold a conversation with your plus one, this is it.

Il Mulino New York – Miami has been crafting Abruzzese cuisine and is known for its professional service. The Italian restaurant’s original location in Manhattan has had dedicated clients that head to the restaurant for authentic, yet creative, cuisine for decades. The location in South Florida is no exception, and it brings the same type of environment to Acqualina Resort and Residences.
It’s no secret that the food is fantastic, filled with fresh flavors and ingredients that are hand-selected for each dish. Although the restaurant is an upscale one, it still has the feel of a wholesome Italian restaurant and one where diners can connect with family and friends. There, they will feel included and welcome and will be immersed in the tradition that comes with dining at a place that cares about authenticity and about treating each visitor as family.

The midday meal at Il Mulino New York – Miami is a welcome, affordable and luxurious experience. Priced at just $35 per person, the lunch includes a three-course meal with dishes created by Executive Chef Michele Mazza.

Then there’s the Insalata Di Rucola, which perfectly mixes the flavors of baby arugula, cherry tomato, lemon and parmigiano Reggiano. And another great appetizer is the Insalata Di Polipo. grilled octopus, red onions, capers and frisée are the perfect combination for this dish, one that is truly to be enjoyed.
