Café Mulino, Ewing

Brothers Luis and Johnson Rivas teamed up to create a menu of signature seafood entrees and Italian dishes anchored with homemade pastas. They saute shitake mushrooms with a homemade flat pasta before tossing parmigiano romano cheese with fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic olive oil to create the Papardella alla Romana, They also pour blush-colored brandy cream sauce over lobster ravioli. Shrimp scampi, a variety of veal dishes, and desserts round out the menu. The cozy eatery features brick-lined doorways and linen-topped tables that combine rustic and sophisticated details, just like Paul Bunyan wearing a monocle.
