Top 10 Italian Restaurants in Mullae

Locals’ go-to for Roman pinsa—light, cloudlike crust with a gentle crackle, toppings balanced so every bite stays airy and aromatic. The Korean beef meatball pie carries a whisper of smoke that mingles with creamy cheese and sweet-acid tomatoes in the most satisfying way. Expect an easygoing, date-friendly vibe and portions built for sharing.

Tucked just off a back alley, this is the kind of small bistro where ragù smells like Sunday and lasagna lands at the table bubbling and bronzed. Locals love it for intimate dinners and friendly hosting that guides you to the right glass for your plate.

• Order this: Beef ragù pasta and the house lasagna; pair with an imported beer if you prefer hops over grapes.

A tiny, chef-run nook where pastas are cooked with precision and seasoning is confident without showiness. Seats are few and the counter view is half the charm, which is why locals plan ahead and lean into the wine program in the evening.

A stylish wine bar where the owner’s culinary background shows—Italian-leaning plates, beautifully cooked steak, and a wine list curated by taste, not trend. It’s a favorite for second rounds that often turn into full dinners.

• Order this: Start with the house red; follow with steak and a lighter white to compare pairings.

Not strictly Italian, but a beloved Mullae original for red-meat lovers on an Italian crawl—think wet-aged, well-seared steaks in a lively, American-style room. Prices stay friendly for the neighborhood and it works as a crowd-pleaser if your group’s tastes diverge.

• Order this: 250g grilled steak at an easy price point; add fries and a simple green to keep it balanced.
