    What a wonderful way to spend NYE! An outstanding dinner sitting poolside. The lamb shank special was out of this world delicious, as was the Tagliatelle! We started by sipping exquisite homemade limoncello and espresso martinis, and finished with a house made vanilla creme brulee. The ambience, staff, and service were top notch! Happy New Year and to a prosperous 2025!!

    No one ever totally satisfies the New Years eve meal experience because of the hectic demand. BUT MULINOS DID. They were on the button on every count. Beautiful ambiance, attentive service (Ben) and wonderful food. What more could you want. My wife also introduced them to the Toasted Almond Martini , to which they rose to the occasion. Terrific evening all around. Parking. although in high demand on the 31st, is a Major advantage.

    When you make a reservation in the winter it would be nice to be asked whether you prefer indoor or outdoor”outdoors.” Luckily it was 55 degrees and there outdoor tent provided some shelter but would have preferred to be inside the restaurant

    Our second time dining at Mulino and it was just as good as the first time. The quality of the food is exceptional and the flavors are so unique and addicting! The service is also top notch. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Our favorite Italian restaurant in Raleigh.

    This was our first time at Mulino Italian Kitchen and Bar, food and service was excellent. It is hard to find authentic Italian in Raleigh, and their pasta was amazing. Grant, our server, went above and beyond to help us celebrate our daughter’s birthday. They even sent us an email thanking us for choosing them for our night out. I highly recommend Mulino’s for a nice dinner.

    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.

    I felt like they squished us in a corner. There were plenty of other tables that set for 4 people and they had us by the hostess stand. We could’ve sat out by the fountain . I just felt like our service was OK. I felt like we were being rushed out, our server was actually the bartender. Just overall wasn’t a good customer service experience. The food and drinks were excellent, but service sucked
    Mulino Italian Kitchen & BarResponded on December 17, 2024
