Great experience on 12/20/24, especially with our server DeAngelo. He was attentive and fun. Very disappointed that the legacy kale Caesar salad is no longer on the menu—bring it back, please! Also would love to see a return of the bucatini all'amatriciana.

Mulino is a wonderful place for a meal! My son and I took my wife here to celebrate her birthday and we were not disappointed. The decor and ambiance in an old mill provided a great atmosphere. Our server JoElla was friendly and very knowledgeable of all the selections on the menu. My wife and son had the gnocci and I ate the Picci with scallops added. Everything was perfect! I would highly recommend Mulino to anyone.

Excellent experience. Each meal was perfect and served perfectly. Best pasta I have had in the Raleigh area. My husbands veal chop was a real tomahawk chop served exactly as ordered. The lentil side dish was very different and delicious as was the radicchio salad. Both were enough to share.
