   Probably the best Italian restaurant in NYC. Make a reservation and try it out.

   I typically do not write comments on my dining experiences. Unfortunately, due to my dinner this evening I have to write this review to, hopefully, improve service and future dining for others. I booked Il Mulino for my girlfriends birthday. We dined with her parents as well. Dinner at Il Mulino was by far the worst experience I’ve had at a restaurant since I moved to New York 5 years ago. We showed up for our 8pm reservation and no one showed up to the table until 8:30pm to take our drink orders. When someone did show, we were greeted with attitude, immediately (unwarranted as well). Once we put our drink order in that was the last we heard from our “waiter.” During the rest of the meal we had to flag down random servers and busters in order to place our meal. Every request, such as more water, asking for silverware, or asking for Parmesan cheese was addressed with sighs and anger. It was uncomfortable. The dinner officially became the worst dinner I’ve had in New York when we went to our the bill. It took 45 minutes to flag down the waiter. I had to walk to the front in order to get our check. I kindly and calmly addressed all the issues we faced during the dinner (i.e. non-existent customer service, no service for drink orders after the first, no service or asking if we needed anything after our dishes were served, no courtesy check-ins during our meal). As mentioned, I calmly confronted the waiter on all of our issues, simply to understand if we did anything wrong. He replied with, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was there.” The blatant disrespect and lying was the final straw. I then asked to speak with a manager and he said I am a manager, there’s nothing you can do. He was the worst waiter I’ve ever dined with. Overall, I would not wish a dinner like that on my worst enemy. At all costs skip this restaurant, and if you get the server who served us, good luck…

    Haven’t been to Il Mulino since Covid began which is a shame. This place is incredible. It’s expensive, but you get what you pay for and it’s well worth it.

    We were greeted by very friendly staff which was welcoming. It was somewhat dim inside the dining area making it difficult to ready the fine printed menu and the AC was far too cold for our liking. The waiting staff were fab, constantly topping our glasses with water, asking if we were ok, lots of bread on the table, everything you expect from a great Italian. The food was superb! You may struggle with young children, ours were 10 & 13 and did well. The ambience probably wasn’t great for our youngest though. The only real disappointing thing about this place is that for the amount of money you pay to eat here it felt very rushed and they weren’t busy, we were done in less than 1.5hrs with a $350ish bill for 4.

    My last visit to Il Mulino was 30 years ago. The service and food were excellent. Seems like both have gone downhill since then. Unfortunately not worth the high prices they charge.

    I wanted to give my friends an authentic New York fine Italian restaurant experience and this place is the epitome of that. From the moment we sat down there was a constant ballet of servers brining plates of exquisite food to the table. The food is impeccable. The ambiance was like out of a old movie. And the service unparalleled. Our server Tony Trombetta (hope I'm not butchering the spelling of his name) brought so much character to the experience it left us all feeling like we have been regulars for years. Certainly recommend and will definitely be back!

    We had an early dinner, and the restaurant was so dark inside that we couldn't see the menu. 5:30 seems too early to make the restaurant dark. the restaurant needs to come up with a few vegetarian and vegan options if they want to stay current. service was great.
