"Each of my three other friends, and myself, had been several times to this restaurant both for lunch and dinner. It was always convivial with great food and service.We were having a quick lunch because we all had other engagements. We only ordered appetizers. While we were waiting for our lunch the Maitre D' came to our table to chastize us for not ordering more. He was shockingly rude. If the restaurant has a policy that one must order an entree to sit at a table, that should be stated clearly on their menu and in any review that appears about them.It was 1:30 in the afternoon; the restaurant was half empty. The Maitre D' needs lessons in manners or needs to work in another line of business that does not deal with the public."

Great staff & accommodated my special request! The mushroom ravioli was so tasty!!!! We shared it as our first course. If you're doing a splurge night out put this on your list of must-do!"

"This dining hot spot has the Italian friendly service from the beginning to end. The tables are close together in a relatively small space and the crowd is loud. The food starts flowing the moment you are seated with bruscetta, parmesan cheese scooped from a large wheel tableside, assortment of breads and an order of garlic bread to boot. The grilled octopus had been perfectly prepared with all of the "suction cups" removed, like my wife's Italian grandmother used to do, and was excellent. My half-rack of lamb arrived slightly rarer than medium rare but was quickly handled with appologies from everyone. Four ribs was more than enough and it was very good. No room for desert. I would definitely go back next time I'm in NY!"

"The waiter talked bad about me to one of the busboy. It was incredibly rude. The food is barely better than Olive Garden and makes you feel like you just ate a tub of crisco. (soooo heavy) The jumbo shrimp my mom got were very tough. The chicken plate I got was bland and they decided to throw in a drumstick with a ton of gristle on it. GRISTLE FOR $30 A PLATE?!?! Nuff said... left a 5% tip"

"We've been to AC location several times and been very pleased so thought we'd try this one. Downtown original one is impossible to get into. Our expectations were exceeded in every way. Only drawback was we went early and after work bar crowd made it noisy. The service is flawless: professional, polished and just the right amt of warm and friendly. Great selection of wines by the glass but we ordered one of our fav Brunellos. We shared a caprese salad and special mango salad to start. Tomatoes were Jersey fresh tasting and mozzarella was certainly made that day. We skipped the specials and ordered the tried and true chicken parm and shrimp fra diablo. Again, loved every bite. Can't wait to return!"

"I'm more madly in love with the "next door" UES version of the famed NY Village original. I love having you in my neighborhood and would be there every night if I could. Pasta cooked perfectly, the freshest fish this side of the Adriatic, and a perpetual buzz that makes every visit a special occasion."

"My family has been going to this reaturant for years! I was so upset and and angered by my last dining experience there the manager was one of the rudest and Inconsiderate people I have ever met in my entire life, the rest of the staff was fine. If you are ever planning on having a special occasion dinner of celebrating a birthday -GO SOME WHERE ELSE! DO NOT EAT AT IL MULINO! I never thought I would say that because I have always loved il Mulino! And Im not the type of person who ever writes reviews but this time they ruined my birthday celebration so I am. When I called to let them know I was having a cake delivered they the women who answered immediately transferred me to another man who then proceeded to SCOLD me, HOW DARE YOU SCOLD ME."
