    Service and food was ok but not nearly the same level as their sister restaurant La Terraza. The music was pop type music and didn’t seem fitting for the wonderful setting in which the dining takes place outdoors. The carbonara lacked the richness in flavor that many other places have. Had to add Parmesan, seasoning, etc. to left overs. Wine prices had increased but didn’t match wine list prices advertised. After the initial pour of wine there was no additional service for refills. That was on our own which is fine but again not same level of service as at sister restaurant. Bread service was awesome. We would most likely pass and not return but rather go to La Terraza for the better overall experience.

    Thank you for the review, Michelle! We appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear you enjoyed the bread service. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better experience. Cheers!

    Food was below par IMO, always heard good things so maybe it was a one off. Our server was lovely Cocktails were great. If we were to return we would come for cocktails and app’s
    Mulino Italian Kitchen & BarResponded on May 19, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback and recommendation, Kelsey. While we love to hear you enjoyed the cocktails and service, we're disappointed to hear that the cuisine was not up to our usual five-star standards. We'd love another opportunity to impress you in the future. Cheers!

    Surprised at the lower than expected Google rating. We had the bread and scallops to start, which were both wonderful. Then lasagna and gnocchi with salmon for entrees, which were both fabulous. Finished with tiramisu (to me it was chocolate rather than coffee) and probably the best creme brulee we've ever had. Service was great, atmosphere on the patio was very fun and relaxing. Can't wait to go back for the things we couldn't try this time.

    Waitress required training on customer service. Less informal and more formal and well educated.

    Had a reservation for inside but the weather was beautiful so they offered to seat us outside. The outside area was great… our waiter was in his second week with them but knew the menu, was attentive without hovering and the food was delicious. We’ll be back!
