Chef-owner Michael Feker took quite a chance when he opened Il Mito in
2000 in an area filled with inexpensive Mexican restaurants. Instead of
blending into Walker's Point, Feker offered wines and
a cuisine termed "Californian Mediterranean." Last October a second Il
Mito opened in Wauwatosa, more focused on wine, pizza and lower prices
than the Walker's Point prototype. Called Il Mito Trattoria and
Enoteca, it proved so popular that Feker's original restaurant closed
this spring to remodel and duplicate the Wauwatosa format. Don't expect an identical menu. Though the format is similar there are many small differences. The biggest change is that this Il Mito serves lunches at bargain prices. $6.95 is the most expensive and the price even includes soup or a salad. The soup is a daily special or crema di pomodoro, a vibrant, herbed, roasted tomato soup arriving with a slice of crusty bread. The salad is insalata mista, mainly leaf lettuce with julienned carrot.
