    Such a nice place with awful chairs!! Uncomfortable and ugly, I wanted to be pit of there just because it was so hard to keep seated in a comfortable manner. Not coming back!! Doesn’t worth the price.

    I’m hoping the slow service was just due to the influx of people downtown this past weekend. It took over an hour and fifteen minutes to receive our food, which were two pasta dishes. Unfortunately, the food arrived cold and crusted over, as it seemed to have been sitting for a while. We also ordered bread service twice throughout our dining experience, but both servings were noticeably different. Despite this, I would be willing to give it another chance because the ambiance was great.
    Mulino Italian Kitchen & BarResponded on March 20, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. It sounds like your experience wasn’t up to our usual five-star standards, and we apologize for the wait and the inconsistencies with your meal. We’re glad you enjoyed the ambiance, and we’d love the opportunity to make your next visit much better. Cheers!

    Dined here with group of 10 to celebrate a couple birthdays. The service was awesome and the food was very good. Everyone had a great time. Two concerns: one is that there was a cake fee of $2.50 per person in our group. I think that's excessive and unnecessary. We will likely dine there again, just won't bring cake, it's not favorable for another birthday celebration where we traditionally order generously with appetizers, entrees and drinks. Second concern was Pinot Grigio was only offered by the bottle, that pushed us to order a bottle when we would have preferred to do otherwise and let attendees order what they want.

    Thank you for choosing Mulino to celebrate, Janine! We're so glad your group had a great time and enjoyed the cuisine and the service. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with our team. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Cheers!
