"Situated in the elegant Acqualina Resort in Sunny Isles, Il Mulino offers both indoor and outdoor ocean view seating to savor a special Sunday Miami Spice brunch menu. Begin with an antipasto choice of frittata campanula or a strawberry salad tossed with burrata cheese. Continue with an entree of waffle Toscana, topped with crispy chicken and baby artichoke; a warm croissant sandwich stuffed with bacon, egg, and cheese with a side of truffle fries; or a hearty a dish of meat tortellini filled with ham, and sweet peas, topped with heavy cream sauce. The sweet ending is chocolate cake. Pair with a choice of one of the restaurant’s extensive selection of Italian wines." - Juliana Accioly
"Nestled in the Acqualina Resort & Spa Hotel, this upscale restaurant is the Sunny Isles destination for classic Italian offerings like meatballs, eggplant marinara, piccata di vitello al limone, and seafood linguine bathed in spicy sauce.

Pro tip: Reserve a spot at the outdoor patio overlooking the hotel’s pool and beachfront area and pair the dishes with one of the many options from the restaurant’s wine menu." - Juliana Accioly
