Il Mulino?

What's going on with Il Mulino? Don't hear very much about it. How is it and how are they and how are they doing. Wonder if they get a lot of business.

We dined there in May and it was ok. It wasn't bad, but for what we expected based on the reputation and price, we were disappointed.

Kevin did a review of this restaruant a while back on the pod cast, I believe it was the June 12th edition. His experience seemed similar to mine.

I'd be interested in anyone's thoughts as well. We liked Palio and will be giving Il Mulino a try here very very soon : )

We dined there this past month. We were seated in a smaller room, which was nice because it cut down on the noise level from the bar. The food and service was excellent. It is a New York Style Trattoria-with New York prices. Our server was attentive and when we were cleary ready to have our order taken-one of the other servers in the area came and took them. I really like that team dynamic instead of sitting impatiently while he explained the menu to the other table, someone jumped in and took care of us.

My mom tried a caesar salad, dad had an antipasto and I had the minestrone. All were delicious. For dinner my mom had the carbonara, dad the canneloni and I had the gnocci bolongnese. The carbonara was in a lighter egg cream sauce than what I am used to, but you could definetely eat more. The pancetta, egg and cheese sauce tasted great. My dad's cannelloni was stuffed with a fine ground beef and spinach mixture. The flavor was spot on and the seasoning was perfect. My gnocci portion was huge! I could have eaten two or three dinners from that plate. The gnocci were large about as wide around as a Lifesaver candy and were tasty. The bolognese sauce was chunky and rich filling me up quickly.

Overall we had a great dining experience and plan to go again next year. The meat entrees are served a la carte so you need to order pasta as a side dish, much like Maggiano's restaurant. The prices are higher like in a big city, our dinner ran about 25-35$ per person, plus a bottle of wine. The meat dishes will cost more, but I really wanted pasta at dinner, I would eat meat at another dinner. This is a busy, hoping place, especially if you are there during a convention. However we ate around 7:00 PM so the drinking crowd had rolled in. The restaurant validates your parking as well. Hope this gives you some good insight.
