    Scallops. Perfectly seared. Well seasoned.
    Winnie L.

    From the moment we walked in, everyone understood the assignment. The moment we sat down, water was being poured, snti pasti being served, coats being checked. As we were enjoying our starters the server came to give us the daily specials. All sounded so amazing. Decided on pappadelle pasta, my favorite. DD went with the lobster ravioli, her favorite. Hub went with rib eye and squid ink pasta to share as well as the scallops. Scallops were amazing. The sautéed spinach was nicely seasoned. All our entrees were prepared nicely. Piping hot and balanced in flavors. All the flavors were so pure and organic that it wasn't covered up with heavy cream or soaked in butter which I find many Italian restos do. But not I'll Mulino. It reminded me of old school Italian. No gimmicks or oversized portions. Their is passion in every dish prepared. The dessert was hard to choose so our server recommended the sampler. Tiramisu cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake with raspberry notes (my favorite). Thr whipped cream and berries helped balanced out the richness which I appreciated. Although we were so stuffed we had no problem polishing off on the dessert I was choosing between this place and Carbone having tried it in HK. Different vibe. More authentic natural flavors here. Highly recommend.

    Chicken Pollo Parmigiana

    The best chicken parm I've ever had: thin, crispy, dark meat, cheesy but not heavy, flavorful Intimate, cozy, and dimly lit with roses on the table. An amazing date night spot. Full bar and the complimentary garlic bread was so good!

    Enjoyed a Father's Day dinner with my daughter after a show at the Comedy Cellar. Picked this restaurant not only because it was close to the venue, but had visited their Las Vegas restaurant and had an amazing meal there. Il Mulino is small and quaint. Old styling inside but nothing that took away from the ambiance including linen tables. The service was first class, prompt and professional. My daughter enjoyed her angel hair pasta dish. I ordered the Veal Chop and was a little surprised it was served as flat as it was. I should have asked how it was prepared, my bad, but I had envisioned a thicker veal chop stuffed with mozzarella cheese. I enjoyed it but I could not taste the flavor of the meat as it was so thin. I will return again and sample another signature dish as I enjoy the quality and the service.

    This was the best meal of our trip! The type I will dream about and fly back to NYC for!! Incredible experience- from the old school charm, to the impeccable service, to the pasta tossed table side. Amazing! Started with the best martinis. Then all sorts of goodness came out to the table- a basket full of the most delish ciabatta, focaccia, breadsticks, salami and cheese, bruschetta, and killer zucchini soaked in olive oil and spices. What a way to start the meal. Next was the burrata appetizer- the burrata gushed out creamy goodness the moment it was pierced. The entrees are huge but they do offer half orders. The half order of squid ink pasta full of perfectly cooked scallops and shrimp in a spicy olive oil sauce was the perfect size. The pasta was perfectly al dente! The osso bucco was a large tender piece of meat served with rice and the bone with a fork for the marrow! The carbonara was made the way it should be- bacon, egg, cheese- that's it! The capellini il mulino was perfect with tomato and mushrooms. We were stuffed but able to enjoy the best dessert- light pillows of flaky pastry stacked between sweet layers of cream and fruit. I would give this place 20 stars if I could!

    The meal and service lends itself to being somewhat of a production, and it was all delicious. They bring out a nice bread basket and other little tastes to start you off. 1. The best tiramisu I have ever had. 2. Nothing about cheesecake intrigues me, despite how much I love desert, and this cheesecake was amazing. I would definitely order it again and recommend most people to try. 3. I especially liked the croutons in the ceasar.

    Ricotta Cheesecake

    Came here for the first time on a date night, and it's easily one of the best local Italian spots in the city. The service was top-notch.. friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance is super romantic and cozy, perfect for a date night. The food really blew us away. The meatballs were huge and absolutely bursting with flavor. The chicken parm was cheesy and comforting in all the right ways, and the garlic spinach was the perfect side. I think the highlight of the night was the ricotta cheesecake.. so light and creamy and hands down one of the best desserts I've had in a while. Can't wait to come back and try more!

    EXCEPTIONAL dining location. the level of service and quality of food is outstanding. the ambiance is very intimate and really adds to the dining experience. the lobster ravioli was phenomenal. the pasta is exceptional

    Homemade Napoleon.

    The place has amazing food and fantastic service. It is truly Italian from the greeting when you step-in the door, to ALL of the delicious authentic food, to the genuine waitstaff and personal attention from the manager. A wonderful, memorable meal!

    Gnocchi Pesto
    Hannah M.

    The best dining experience I've ever had. The wait staff was amazing. They are always checking to make sure you have everything you need. The pasta is extremely fresh. It melted in my mouth. They serve you as soon as you walk in with all sorts of delicacies. Definitely recommend this place.

    Fried calamari, nothing special so save your stomach space, but worth it if you're a calamari lover.
    Christy H.

    Il Mulino might be my new favorite Italian restaurant in NYC (or one of my favorites, at least)! Started with a bunch of complimentary small bites- amazing tomato bruschetta, fried zucchini, flavorful foccaccia (and other breads), and cheese with cured pork. My Aperol spritz was perfect, which is for some reason a rare thing nowadays (the ratios can be hard to get right). We then got fried calamari, which we definitely didn't need and was just OK. However, even lackluster calamari can't bring down this high score. For entrées, I got the red snapper livornese, and it was so awesome that I did indeed eat that entire huge slab of lightly pan fried snapper covered in tomatoes, capers, and olives. I couldn't find a pic of this in advance but I'm so, so glad I got it. My fiancé got the veal parm, and despite his best efforts, could only finish half. Very thinly pounded veal, not the best he's ever had but definitely up there. We split a side of spaghetti pomodoro, and it actually made me wish I got pasta as my entrée, it was THAT good. Perfectly cooked and the tomato sauce had chunks of fresh tomato and basil. An old school vibe staffed by older Italian men. No dress code, or so it seemed, but you probably wouldn't feel comfortable just wearing a t shirt and shorts inside. Entrées are a bit pricey but I highly recommend! The only downside was the massive stomachache I had after (and garlic breath).

Even if we wouldn't have gotten a window table and it wasn't Christmas, the vibes and interior of this place would have still been great. We went in December night of 2024 so some aspects of the menu have changed however, most of the dishes still appear to be on their menu as of now, June 2026. It appears most changes comes to the type of pasta used in a dish, aspects around a dishes main focus and gelato/dessert flavors. Everything we ordered was an 8 or above out of 10. The beet salad (BARBABIETOLE) is easily 10/10 and a top 3 salad we have ever had. The chocolate cake with gelato (TORTINO DI CIOCCOLATO) was 10/10 and the best dessert we had at Da Andrea. We ordered 3 total, including the ricotta cheesecake and tiramisu. Tuna Tartare, gorgonzola pasta and bolognese are 9's. The fritto misto, the other pasta we ordered and the other 2 desserts are 8's. If you're in New York make reservations and go. My Wife found this place and made reservations. Only thing I regret after looking at additional photos is not ordering the grilled pork chop.

The pasta was al dente perfection and most importantly there were generous sauce portions. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and personable. I dined with a friend and we ordered 3 pastas instead of an appetizer (fantastic choice). We tried the following dishes: *Garganelli Mushroom Ragu and Ricotta Salata. This was by far our favorite dish. It was bursting with flavor, had tons of sauce and cheese and was perfectly cooked. If you enjoy mushroom you MUST order this!! *Tagliatelle Bolognese Bianco (Chicken, Veal, Pork) and Parmigiano. Which was so delicious and has plenty of meat and sauce. The tagliatelle was amazing and tasted to fresh. *Bucatini with Pancetta, Tomato, Chilies and Pecorino. We thought this was good but our least favorite dish of the 3.

We finished with the famous olive oil cake, which we loved for its subtly sweet, moist and tender bite. Served with lightly whipped cream and raisins, the combination was surprisingly delicious. We were also touched by the complimentary anniversary scoop of ice cream. The interior seating is a bit snug, but the decor is beautiful--elegant yet homey. The service was good as well. Overall, we highly recommend L'Artusi for a special night out!

Second the waiter who took our order was polite and on point with specials and knowledge of the menu. He (just never caught his name) suggested the Rigatoni which chicken and sausage. I am not really a pasta eater but baby that dish could change that; it was DELICIOUS. I even liked the anchovy dressing on my Caesar Salad and I dislike anchovies. All the dishes ordered (chicken parm, mussels chicken paillard etc.) everyone enjoyed them immensely. The only negative was when the Chicken Paiikard arrived it was supposed to a shared dish by the elderly couple and they asked for regular dinner plates from one of the servers. It took the gentleman who took our order to step in and said sure, lucky their food was still hot. Common Sense is not so common for all. But this will not lower my rating as it was taken care of swiftly. The portions were the perfect size and I was not stuffed but pleasantly satified. We told them the time of our show, food was out quickly, nicely presented, still hot and very tasty. The restaurant was not noisy and had space between the tables. It also had an elevator for those who could not manage stairs. Trattoria Trecolori you will be added to my must go again list! Thank for a wonderful experience!
