About this business

Many New Yorkers believe Il Mulino restaurant, nestled in Greenwich Village, has the finest classic Italian cuisine in New York City. As a result, reservations can be very hard to come by, but it is often much easier to snag a table at lunch. A meal at Il Mulino can be quite expensive, but portions are definitely on the large side. The service is of course professional and attentive, and the decor is classy and subdued.

Great food AND service! – The service here was wonderful. Very friendly staff. Appetizers and even the house appetizers were abundant. I had 3 different pastas, the fish, mussles, some sort of rice with lobster, lamb, and the list just goes on. We ordered so much food! We even had a sample plate of their desserts. Food was delicious!

great house appetizers. – Although the appetizers supplied by the restaurant were outstanding, generally speaking I was disappointed with the food. The pastas were tasty, but not outstanding. If I am going to pay that much for food, I expect to have my socks knocked off (as I have when dining (everytime) at Nobu. The bartender was excellent. I felt that we were rushed at the table when almost done dining (which I wasn't). I don't think we'll be back.

awful service, decent food, cramped atmosphere – They kept us waiting for more than an hour WITH a reservation and WITHOUT an apology. Admittedly, they fed us some bread while we waited, but that's not an excuse. I'm a vegetarian, and after specifically asking for a vegetarian entree, they gave me an entree that contained seafood. Again, no apology - one of our several waiters simply blamed the others. When they brought grappa for the table, one waiter even commented sarcastically that he was pretty sure *this* was vegetaria... read more

Wonderful – The food was to die for and the service was wonderful. The decor is alright, their food portions is more than enough for two, however this place costs a pretty penny. A dinner for two with a bottle of wine would probably cost you close to $300!

Overated Has-Been - – Take it from a regular - It simply is not what it used to be! In the past it was outrageously expensive but great; a special occasion place to splurge. Now days, it is a dated overpriced shadow of its yonder years. The food is mediocre at best. The pasta is bland and you can get better at your grocery store. Their sauces are dissapointing. The canneloni, once famous, now is simply terrible. Their fish is OK as well as the meat entrees but not at their prices, you leave with the feeling someone just pick... read more

huge portions of good italian food – my bf & i came expecting to wait at least an hour (w/reservation), so we were pleasantly surprised to be seated 40 minutes after arrival. once seated, we were served a plethora of antipasti/breads (all tasty, with an especially good spicy crispy zucchini bread). as appetizers, we ordered the zucchini flowers (rich & savory) & escargot-topped mushroom caps (mediocre). we split the porcini ravioli for the 2nd course. it was the best ravioli ever plump, al dente, stuffed with mushrooms and d... read more

Amazing!!! – This is my favorite restuarant in nyc. The service can be a little chaotic at times, but the "experience" is unmatched. Go when you have time. Once seated, there is a continuous flow of antipasti, and wine, menus are not even handed to you for 20 minutes, giving plenty of time to sample. We sat for 4 hours. The food is wonderful, and it keeps coming and coming. Portions are huge, you'll need to take home the leftovers. I did this last night, and there were no funny looks or arrogant sneers. In fact, I may have g... read more

Worth the wait? – It's true...you might have made a reservation, but you will end up waiting for about an hour anyway, so hopefully you'll get a seat at the bar and won't have to stand around. I've been here twice and had to wait an hour each time. Still, after all the fuss, the food makes you forget about the wait. The food is incredible here...hands down, the best Italian food in the city. Not to mention, my table was next to John Ridder and Joyce DeWitt's table ...always nice to sit next to a star in a small restaurant.
