Il Mulino

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.

You must be kidding – Over-priced, long waits (even with reservations), heavily garlicked southern Italian food is passé.
So Over Hyped – I went to Il Mulino for the first time last night and yes we had to wait 45 min for our table and I made the reservation two months ago. The atmosphere is nothing special and they sure do pack people in. The food is good, but nothing extraordinary. I had spaghetti bolognese and caprese salad to start and both were good, but very very salty!! The prices are over the top and for what? If you want a similar experience, but much better food, service and ambiance go to Scalinatella. This place is definitely somewh... read more
Il Mulino, sort it out – There are many restaurants in NYC that you expect to wait for a table. River Cafe, Daniel, Le Bernardin and Union Square Cafe would not be in that list. So why does Il Mulino charge the same prices and think that it is fine to keep you hanging on for 2 hours for a reservation. I have to eat out a lot for work and have been to most of the top restaurants in the major cities in the US - the Maitre d' at Il Mulino is the worst I have come across. Arrogant, rude, clueless - not worth the effort. Not so m... read more
Il Mulino – The service was WONDERFUL!!! The personality of the servers (there were probably 4 just for us) was superb!!!! They treated us like we were the only folks in the restaurant----and I like that. My mother, sister and I were in NYC for a long weekend and this place was HIGHLY recommended. It was worth every dime! We got pictures with our "waiter" or whatever he was called.
Il Mediocre – The size of our disappointment at formerly dependable Il Moulino was only exceeded by the size of the check. They crammed 8 of us into a tiny corner meant for 6 and then made sure to bump our heads with their unapologetic elbows at least every 4 minutes. Little Italy-style hambone performances by the waiters (actually saying "fugettaboutit" 4 times during specials) was embarassing and did nothing to hide the fact of of being charged for 4 bottles of wine when we only ordered 3. Twenty dollar desserts? They're w... read more
An experience - but you pay for it. – Il Mulino waiters hover over you from the second you walk in - over one shoulder comes the brushetta, the other the pepperoni, and more and more. Its fun from the get-go. The risotto was top notch but beware of the specials - this place ran over $600 at lunch for a party of 4. Talk about sticker shock. Go on the company or go elsewhere.
One of a Kind – No better Italian restaurant in NY. Expensive, but worth it.
Why wast your time – After waiting over a month for weekend reservations, I would of rather gone to IL Baggato. Food was good but overall I would never return. Not worth the time or money. With a reservation we waited over an hour and ahalf. Then after needing a translator for the menu which is too hard to read and to dark to see. Not my idea of a great night.I guess you can't win them all.
Noisy and overcrowded! – The food was quite good and very plentiful, and the service was attentive and excellent. However, it is markedly overpriced. My party of three found the restaurant to be too dark, overcrowded, and unpleasantly noisy. We felt like we were eating in a packed subway car going through a tunnel at rush hour, with strangers talking loudly in our ears and jostling us from all sides. An unpleasant dining experience for all of us. Afterwards, we were relieved to escape to the peace and quiet of the New York s... read more
