"My bride and I celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary with a fabulous rack of lamb and Paglia E Fieno Alla Papalina that I swear was homemade. We ended our meal with one of our favorite desserts: Mascarpone and fresh berries. To add to the quality of the food was the excellent service we received: attentive, friendly and impeccable.
"We will be back," I told the Captain, and I, we, meant it. A great meal; a wonderful memory."

"You'll feel like time has stopped when you enter the simpatico but homely dining room. Prices have more than kept up to date though (in fact they are 2020 prices). Some of the classic pastas are executed well, and the baked sea bass under salt was delicately and perfectly cooked. Sadly,the appetizers, breads, and side dishes are swimming with oil and garlic and literally left a bad taste in my mouth. Service is attentive and personable."

"The food is very good here, but seriously overpriced. The service is very friendly, but there is a distinct 'production line' feel about it. The wine list is small but contains many good wines. However, the list is insulting to diners, with more bottles over $1,000 than under $100, and very few choices under $150. Tables are poorly placed. My chair was bumped into regularly by the staff during my meal. I have not had this problem at restaurants with much greater crowding of tables. We are not going back, as there are so many other truly excellent, not overpriced Italian dining options in Manhattan providing a more satisfying experience overall."

"A very good/excellent but pricey almost-hidden gem in the environs of NYU's Washington Square.
The black squid linguini was tasty and plentiful; the rack of lamb done perfectly. The service was also very good, if slightly over the top."

"We had been told to go to this restaurant and so glad we did--it was fabulous! The service was absolutely the best from our brief drink at the small bar through our meal to the moment we left. The food was "over-the-top" good! We would (and already have) recommend this to everyone we know! LOVE the flowering branches at the bar and wooden wine crates dividing the bar from the restaurant. Love all the "tastes" of food as we sat down."

"This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. The overabundance of waiters should have tipped me off that this is nothing but a clip joint. I'll cut to the chase. One of the numerous waiters came and rattled off a list of "specials" The gimmick is that they don't tell you the prices so when the bill comes you have no recourse but to blame yourself for being. such a sucker. The prices are so inflated that even at 1/2 the price it would still be over priced. Even if the food were spectacular it would be expensive but the food is mediocre at best. I don't know how they stay in business but I can only guess that they cater to a tourist crowd that thinks that being taken to the cleaners is a "Real New York Experience.""

"Il Mulino doesn't try to be anything except what it is, old school with exceptional food, and service. Granted I was there for lunch on a Monday, but I truly appreciate how welcome they make you feel. Not with words, but with action. Within a minute of sitting down we had water, a basket of bread, and a hunk of cheese. That was soon followed up with some delicious Italian meat, garlic bread, fried zuccini, and a chopped tomato and mussel dish.
My wife and I loved our meals, I had fresh pappardelle & sausage, she had halibut w/ broccili rabe.
One word of advice, you may want to ask how much the specials are. We ordered them and were surprised how much more they were vs. the menu."

"This place is off the charts. The food is unbelievable which is topped by the service. The cost of eating here is not for the weak of heart, but the free appetizers they throw your way from the second you sit down, definitely helps to soften the blow. No need to get appetizers, unless they're scallops wrapped in bacon, which I had to get and were awesome. The main courses were fantastic, as well as the wine selections. We will undoubtedly come here again. If you have a special occasion coming up and you still have some time, make the reservation now, and you'll be happy you did. Enjoy!!!"

They keep sending things to your table to eat before your dinner arrives - all good but TOO MUCH.

"I've been to Il Mulino many times and am so glad they are participating in Restaurant Week, even if it's only for lunch, it's a real treat to be able to have such a wonderful meal."

"Restaurant Week lunch ok. Some courses very greasy. Wine is overpriced: $16 for Pinot grigio or Sauvignon blanc? $5 for coffee? Really!"

"Went for restaurant week lunch. Service, portions, and the food were all excellent. One of the better meals we've had in our lives.
The veal was amazingly tender, not like what we get from the supermarket! Can't say enough good things about the original Il Mulino.

"Il Mulino is such a delight. It feels very comfortable and home-y in its atmosphere. It gives you the feeling that you could sit there all night. The food is fabulous the flavors, scents and freshness. You couldn't ask for anything more.
Also the menu does a great job of telling you enough about the dishes taste to give you a complete idea of that each dish will be. The product you receive matches the description +1 in taste!
I would recommend it to anyone.

"Il Mulino serves classic Italian food that is perfectly fine but nothing special. The cannelloni was bland. The gnocchi with bolognese had more flavor but was not anything to write home about. Honestly, I cook a lot of Italian food and can make better pasta at home."

"Had a wonderful restaurant-week lunch here with enough food to feed an army and tantalizingly delicious. Save up 5,000 calories before you have lunch here. You won't be wasting them."

"From start to finish it was a model of fine dining.
The maitre d' seating us
the serving of drinks
the presentation of the day's specials
the ordering of the meal with excellent guidance from our waiter
to the serving of each course
did I say the food was stellar
to our delicious desserts washed down with quality coffee.
yes, we shall come again.
Lovely, simply lovely..."

"I felt very rushed by the wait staff, which for me is a non-starter.
Restaurant week entree menu was generous as were the portions (veal was good), but the caesar salad was somewhat less than average.
I judge a restaurant by its attitude and offerings during Restaurant Week - I will NOT go back!
