Il Mulino

4.5

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.

where do i begin..... – First it was impossible to get a reservation. Their phone line was eternally "busy." Then we waited 2 hours for our table with a reservation. The place was more crowded than the 4, 5 train on a snow day during rush hour. The food was OK but you can certainly expect to be seated promptly at other restaurants with similar food and ambience in New York. There is no way I will come back! PS if you must go, go during the week or in summer where you might get better service.

An Italian classic where the waiters are pros, the menu's a formality--and your wallet had better be fat. – The Scene Under a faded awning in the heart of the Village, one of New York's most esteemed Italian restaurants remains as if in a timewarp. It's blindingly dark in the dining room, yet tuxedoed career waiters manage to perform as many tableside theatrics as possible, from whisking Caesar salad dressing from scratch to ceremoniously tearing the foil from a whole bass. It's a loud room, full of portly regulars with loos... read more

A Shake Down of the Worst Sort – Our office Holiday Part was an absolute bust at this old-school rip-off over-rated establishment. The waiter are skilled at switching guests to high priced options of mediocre unimaginative food. It's time for people to take the sun glasses off and see this has been for what it is!

Holiday Masterpiece – My boyfriend and I took my parents there for Hanukkah and we had the most amazing time. Unfortunately we had to wait for our table with a reservation, but they gave us free appetizers at the bar, and a glass of wine with apologies. The staff, the food, incredible!!! I have been there with my boyfriend before, and we had the same exact experience. This has become my favorite restaurant treat! SO WORTH IT!!!

Not Outstanding – Went last night with friends, while the service and ambiance were great the food was not. In fact it was barely average for a restaurant of that caliber. And, if you consider the price of the entrees ($55) it was below average. I had a veal chop that, while large, was extremely bland. We ordered salads and the ceaser tasted like it had bottled dressing and the chopped salad didn't taste good at all. I'm glad I went but I won't ever go back. There is outstanding italian food at half the price all over this c... read more

long wait mulino – DO NOT try the new Manhasset location. You will have to wait one hour with a reservation and the maitre'd actually had the audacity to say "We can do whatever we want, Long Island people have no where else to go." Stick to the city restaurant if you want to wait an hour for your reservation!
