Il Mulino New York - Downtown

I have been going to this location of Il Mulino for years and it never disappoints. The service and food are worth the drive from Queens, and worth the money. Just wonderful.

Wasn’t sure what to expect but it was amazing. Every dish was as good as the next

Love this place

Great Italian restaurant!!
All facets are perfect !!

This is a perfect destination for celebrating a special occasion. Service is professional, food delicious and excellent. A bit pricey, but worth it if you are celebrating. Best part of the dinner, being greeted by Claudio at the door.

From the service to the food everything was perfect. We have been to Italy and this Italian restaurant made me feel like I was back in Italy. With the amazing service and the tasty food. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting New York or if you are a local. This is the most authentic Italian food I have had since we have been back in the states.

I frequented Il Mulino often in the '90's and early 2000's, but hadn't been back to the original in years. I was concerned that the "chain" effect with all the new ones would have ruined the original, but this is not the case. We had a great time as a family, the food was that same awesome old-school Italian, albeit pricey (which has always been the case...). However, the wine list, while somewhat limited for an upscale NYC restaurant, had some wines in our price point that I was very happy with. Overall, with tip and tax, wine, etc. it's hard to get out of there for much less than $200 a head, but every dish we ordered was great (for what it is) from the three pasta "tris" we started with, the branzino in salt, langoustines, and the cut orange to top it off. Service was excellent and friendly (in a NY kind of way...), always attentive and helpful- an example, my wife was hoping that the sabayon would have been made tableside, like it used to , so when it arrived in a dish she said something to the waiter. He said, "I'll be right back..." and came back and made a second portion table-side; nice touch! This is not "inventive" Italian, this is very much the garlic, red sauce, creamy, Italian food that we were after. And I still love the barrage of food at the start- the sauteed zucchini is my favorite. We all left completely stuffed. My kids want to go back like next week, but it might be a while- even I'm already looking forward to returning.

Excellent all the way around. Beautiful meal !

Food was very good but a but over priced. $39 for Calamari app which was regular size and not family size is over priced.

Always a fantastic authentic full service experience !!!

As always, excellent service with attention to detail and wonderful food! Elegant waitstaff and environment too,

Everything was perfect, great food, ambiance and wine. It was a family dinner. The kids loved the food. One point to note, they do not have high-chairs, so we had to manage with our 3 year old sitting on a regular chair.

As usual, the food and service was superb from start to finish. Brought friends who had never been here and they loved it. At first you might feel that the tables are a little close, but after a few minutes you feel like you are part of a big Italian family!

Excellent; old world classic charm. Superb food. Kind staff

Booked for Restaurant Week menu but arrived to find that opentable took reservation though RW prix fix not offered here. Despite mixup, service was great, food delicious, and they made my guest’s birthday feel special. Awkward mixup but restaurant still very good. Traditional, tasty, timeless.

Birthday celebration

Over priced and very loud. Ambience is dated. Service is robotic - like without any personality.
Saw friends there. They called me the next day and felt exactly the same.
Would never recommend this restaurant as it may have been good 20 years ago but a disappointment today

Always love coming here, everything is always perfect, the food, the service, the ambiance!

Amazing everything. Not to be missed!

Great atmosphere and perfect place to celebrate my birthday with family. Service was excellent, and everyone loved their food. We had the dessert platter which we all devoured! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

This was the best Italian food I have ever eaten outside of Italy! The service was amazing and I left not only satisfied by the meal but feeling like I had several new friends in the staff. I can't recommend it highly enough! Amazing evening!

The food at Il Mulino is the best Italian food I have ever eaten in my life.....and I have been to Italy a few times! Been coming here for years and it never disappoints!!

Amazing cheese n amazing food.
The portion was more than sufficient.

Claudio was amazing and the food incredible. So good my kids hugged him out the way out. And they are picky eaters. We will be back one hundred times over. Such care and devotion to ensuring and excellent experience.

Great night out with friends
This was more than a meal
It was an experience
From the moment we entered and saw the waiters in tuxes and bow ties and the italian accents to the cheese wedges and bruschetta and the zucchinni antipast and the bread both garlic and their special we were so impressed before we even got our menus
Our waiter recited almost the entire menu for us and we ordered the escargot and burrata apps
The escargot was served in a mushroom with a gravy
A little unusual bot really tasty
The burratta came with prosciutto that melted in your mouth and was amazing
On the waiters recommendation we got the veal chop and rack of lamb entrees and our wives had the shrimp francaise
The lamb was melt in your mouth and the veal was excellent too
The shrimp was jumbo and tasty but not great
After our plates were taken the waiter brought over some chilled italian grappa
We finished with the cannollis which had an unusual orange flavored filling but was good none the less
We knew from reading other reviews that it was pricy so we expected it
I was a little upset that thd waiter reccommended the two most expensive entrees on the menu
Rack of lamb at $90 was a little pricy and veal chop at $72
But overall it was a great night out
The meal took about 2 1/2 hours and it was one of the best italian restaurants we have ever eaten at

My all time favorite restaurant in the world never disappoints. You can’t find home style Italian like this anymore. The ambience, service, and quality of food is unparalleled.

Get the mushroom truffle ravioli, lamb chops, and the scallops wrapped in prosciutto are insane.

Fantastic!!!

Just enjoyed our 11th visit even though we live 1,000 miles away. Have been to many NYC Italian restaurants but this is consistently the very best in every respect. Don’t miss this experience! Just superb menu, service, wine selection and ambiance. Not cheap but with every penny. Already looking forward to our next visit. Having so much fun spending our children’s inheritance!!

Terrible experience
As Italian I can tell the food is not authentic at all. And the pasta sauces are overwhelmed with garlic
Location is ok
Service is not in line with the price and the appeal of the place:simply too easy going and superficial for the kind of experience you would expect from such a place and such prices
No one even asked how we were doing with the food as a complete lack of attention to the customer.

Extraordinary cuisine thoughtfully imagined and executed with service of a level not expected anywhere.

Definitely some next level service in this establishment we were seated and immediately provided food, drink, bread and cheese ... fantastic experience

Very little has changed here in the last 20 years. The waiters are still formally dressed, the room is still dimly lit, the food is still spectacular. This is a place to visit infrequently - when an occasion or special event calls for it. Both calorie count and cost will give you pause, but it is well worth the occasional indulgence.

Old fashioned Italian-I wouldn’t recommend it.

Just Perfect in every detail. Highly recommended!

EVERYTIME ALWAYS THE ABSOLUTE BEST PLACE TO EAT IN NYC

Great food, great service in this iconic Greenwich Village restaurant. We loved it from the moment we walked in, sat at the bar for a glass of prosecco - service was outstanding. Food was fabulous - from complimentary zucchini and parm cheese to decadent chocolate cake.

Il Mulino is one of our favorite restaurants in New York. The food and service are always outstanding....they never disappoint!

Special thanks for great service by Biagio & Luis. Our meals were terrific and perfectly prepared. The wine recommendation was especially appreciated because besides being a great choice, the cost was ove $100 less expensive than the one I initially wanted. Honest! Thanks for a wonderful experience. We can't wait to return to NYC to experience Il Mulino - Downtown.

One of the finest meals of my life. Along with tons of kindness and fun thrown in!

We have been dining at Il Mulino for as long as I can remember and it never disappoints. Food is always outstanding and service impeccable
