Amazing Italian family owned restaurant with a cozy vibe. Authentic and delectable menu. We had the (GF) salmon puttanesca with Parmesan risotto and classic Caesar salad. My husband had the spaghetti and clam sauce (too much to finish). The bartender was our server; and service didn't suffer; he was still attentive and knowledgeable. A+ read more

I'd been coming to HHI for years but never noticed this hidden gem located in a strip mall just beyond Moss Creek, "over the bridge" in Bluffton. I'd tried to get in here twice in the last month, so I recommend making reservations--you'll get turned away at the door for sure, and folks were queued up before the 5pm dinner opening. The interior is welcoming and there's ample space between some oversized high tops and traditional tables. Our server, Kylie, was an absolute peach. She was so friendly and sweet, and she really catered to our needs. There were 4-5 additional specials recited once we sat down. I do wish if servers are going to read specials, they should also include the prices. Since the entire menu was moderately priced (when you consider the area), I didn't think the veal ossobuco would be a $50 entree, but it was my fault for not asking outright. Delicious for sure, but if I were pinching pennies, I may have opted for several other dishes. But truthfully, I found my selections to be excellent. The bread service is unusual but awesome! Warm crusty Scali bread and all diners get their own individual saucers of dipping oil. My post-Covid self thinks this is the best idea ever and every restaurant should do this!! Everyone enjoyed their appetizer & entree choices, though my sister felt the chicken Marsala needed more Marsala flavor. The Caesar was outstanding and the wedding soup flavorful. The ossobuco was melt-in-your mouth tender. I loved the bone marrow garnish as well. My Bananas Foster cake was as if banana bread, caramel cake & pecan pie had a baby. I tasted the Tres Leche cake but it was a little underwhelming for me. I was surprised there was only one traditional Italian dessert (limoncello cake) offered among 3 types of cheesecakes and some chocolate options. No tiramisu, cannoli or spumoni here. But again, the food is delicious and I understand why you seriously need to make a reservation if you want to get in here. My first time but not my last! read more

One of the best vegetarian meals I've ever had. We came on a Friday evening when the restaurant was moderately full. When our server found out our group were all vegetarian, she offered to ask the chef to create something special for us that was not on the menu--a delicious mushroom ravioli in a creamy pesto sauce. So good! The warm bread was served with a wonderful garlicky olive oil spread, and the house salad was fresh and a generous portion. I tried rice balls for the first time--kind of like a vegetarian meatball made of rice and cheese, deep-fried and smothered in marinara sauce. The menu is slightly on the pricey side, but for the quality of the food, it's worth it. My only suggestion would be to bring a little more light into the restaurant. While romantic, it's a little too dark to see the food well. read more

We enjoyed great food & service for our special group dinner. They had a nice selection of entrees, and the salad was very good. They did a great job with everything! read more

Good food...Good service...nice atmosphere...reasonably priced. The only thing that bugs me is when you go to pay. Their billing system provides you with tip options that INCLUDES THE TAX. When did we start tipping Uncle Sam! There's no reason for it other than to take advantage of the customer. read more

Very efficient and welcoming service. The eggplant Parmesan and pasta was excellent. Friendly and attentive staff created the enjoyable ambience. read more

I was looking forward to experiencing MST. I've heard so many good things about this place. I went with a friend who raves about MST, he thinks it's the best Italian food in the area. So naturally I was expecting a real Italian meal. The ambiance is old school Italian restaurant. The service was good our waitress was attentive until the place got crowded and then she did the best she could. She took our drink order and came back with a basket of warm bread, pleasantly suprised as good bread in South Carolina is rare. The Italian Wedding Soup was just ok, and that's where the positives end. Anytime I go to a new Italian restaurant I order Chicken Parm, if that's good next time I try some else. Well the Chicken Parm was rubbery and the portion was on the small side which I was grateful for. The penne was also a small serving and the sauce might have been good but there wasn't enough to judge it also had some steamed vegetables. Nothing about the main course was memorable and wouldn't have me coming back for more. The dessert that was included was a lemon cake, another mini portion and possibly a Sam's bakery purchase. I try to be understand in situations like this and was waiting for our waitress to ask how everything was. She never did,she did ask if we wanted anything else but all I had the time to say was no and she was gone. I typically give a restaurant another chance if I have a bad meal. But considering the price and the small portions I'll pass. One and done. I'm giving them 3 stars because I can't give them 2 1/2. read more

Service was wonderful. Alissa first night but was charming!!! Young man serving water and bread was also engaging and attentive. As for food was not the best. Arancini over fried and flavor not what we expect to taste. Very familiar with Arancini Spaghetti served with minuscule amount of sauce. 2.00 up charge for angel hair. Seriously!! Over all I m sure others would like the meals but we are Italian and hard to please. read more

Since the pandemic started, my wife and I have eaten out less than a handful of times. We were encouraged by friends to check out Mulberry Street. If you didn't know it was there, you could easily pass it. First tip--- make a reservation in advance. The staff was very friendly and we were socially distance seated shortly after arrival. They have an excellent menu of Italian dishes to satisfy vegetarians and carnivores alike. Lissa was our server. I started with a Bombay Sapphire martini with blue cheese stuffed olives (extra charge for the stuffed olives). Fantastic!! My wife had their house Chianti. We opted not to have appetizers, but instead had the Caesar Salad. Mine is only authentic if it has anchovies. There were 3-4 nice anchovy filets on the salad (extra charge for anchovies). Dressing was excellent and perfectly done. My wife had the Penne Ala Vodka which was plentiful. It was so good, I believe she wasn't able to leave enough to take home. My favorite dish is Zuppe Di Pesce served over linguine. Nice large shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, calamari and fish in a great garlic based broth. Did I forget to mention the baked bread? I think it was sourdough and had a great flavor. We each also got a plate of olive oil for dipping along with shaved parmesan/romano and a tomato garlic pate on the side for dipping. Excellent service and awesome night out. Appreciated even more since I hardly eat out anymore with COVID around. We'll be back, though. Even if its just for the bread and martinis. read more

Missing NYC cuisine this place comes pretty close to good old fashioned Italian cuisine and much more!!!

This restaurant is probably one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The food is fantastic and for a very good price! This restaurant is so fancy and old fashioned. The only bad thing I can say bad about the restaurant is the music. The music is very old. The music is mostly Oprah.The service is amazing. read more

Food service atmosphere. All great. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the low country. It has been great for years.

Good waitress/server, great bread, down hill from there! The worst Carbonara I've ever had (see photo), should have been called Carbonara soup with so much broth. The Lasagna was mediocre, very comparable to Olive Garden. The Hostess (maybe owner?) wants you in and out, kept giving us the "stink eye" after we finished our entrees because we continued to set at the table. I guess she didn't realize we were waiting on dessert, which took 10 minutes to be brought to our table. If you love Italian food, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else read more

The service was so horrible I could not believe it. We made a reservation two weeks in advance. Got seated at 7. Didn't get our appetizers until 9:30. Owner didn't apologies and was a total jerk to us. His staff told us he's always this way and apologized for him. 2 hours after being seated, we asked to cancel our main courses since we had not even gotten appetizers yet. The owner scowled and said "somebody's gotta pay for this". I seldomly leave reviews but this place was so awful. Most of their reviews on google are fake. read more

We had a delicious, relaxing lunch here today!! We started out with wonderful Caesar and La Casa salads. Next was amazing lasagna and eggplant parm. The crusty bread for soaking up the sauce was sooo satisfying. And last but not least, homemade cannolis for my husband to take home!! Thanks to Casey for pampering us. We will see you again soon. read more

We've been to this restaurant before and the food and service was good. This evening was completely different. we were seated at 7:00PM. our appetizer and drinks came out promptly and the mussels were very good. our entrees, however, did not arrive until 8:30. We were the last ones in the room to get our food. we watched people finish their meals that were seated well after us. the veal was like shoe leather and the risotto was so salty that it was inedible. we were offered a free dessert as an apology. This was one of the worst meals we have had in years. read more

What a dump of a place. Attitude sucks, they never know what's going on. Last 3 times of called, they don't know if they will be serving the public today is what she said on the phone, and that They're not actually open. lol just read the rest of the reviews. Incompetent read more

This place is amazing! Delicious dinners, great service! Small, but not crowded in. I recommend it for anyone wanting a true Italian dish, with perfect flavor, and fresh pasta. Compared to some of the Italian restaurants on the island, this surpasses them. You will be impressed by a Mulberry Street Trattoria's dinner. read more

Made a reservation and was out in the bar in a tiny table space. Decided to sit at bar and enjoyed the banter with the bartender. Food was mediocre. Owner who is hostess as well could be a little more welcoming. read more

The first time I went here I didn't have a great experience. HOWEVER, I went again about a year later and had a great experience. I got the calamari, Caesar salad and penne ala vodka. The food was fantastic. Everything was fresh and well cooked. Fast Forward to now, I was on the island so I ate there and got the same thing at another restaurant, and I was immediately upset with myself for not driving over the bridge to here. The quality of food, service and setting is such a great place at Mulberry Street. read more

Poor ambiance, run down walls, trim, flooring. Half of what you go out for is ambiance. We had a reservation for a great table (so we were told) and it was awful. It was freezing outside and 1 seet faced 45 degree angle facing the door and blocked servers crossing to the bar. Two patrons suggested we leave as that table would only lend to a even worse experience; we listened. So disappointing. Especially because we had d9ne their wine tasting event and after both of us gett8ng sick with GI issues for the next day we thought we would give it one more try. We will pass it on that this is a has been and no more. read more

We love this place because it's small enough not to be loud and big enough to support a loyal staff! The owners are on site and usually cooking while the hostess is a real Italian Mamamia! She's to the point but very professional and nice to you if you're nice, which everyone should be, right? She helps keep things on point in the dining room:)! Their vibe is one of expected good service and carefully prepared good Italian food. They have great chocolate martinis and many good deserts too! read more

Food was mostly good but not outstanding. Service was terribly slow but decent once they got the food. they seemed badly short staffed the owner was bussing tables! ordered appetizers arrived after main course and were wrong they forgot ordered soup. Chicken Parm was good but chicken Marsala was awful we had to send it back Not sure I would go back too many other great choices in the area Prices are fair read more

Ate at the restaurant and the experience was underwhelming. Burnt scallops, meh chicken piccata and weird salmon with marinara dish. However they showed up at a barbecue cook off and their ribs and pulled pork butt was excellent. I'll give them another shot! read more

I dined at Mulberry Street Trattoria last night. Let me start by saying that the food was fine. That said, a few things were not fine. - Caesar salad was a very large portion of fresh lettuce with a few pieces of pecorino. Dressing was listed on the menu, but not included on the salad. - Penne a la Vodka tasted OK. I had shrimp added to the entre. At a price of $8 for 4 shrimp, I would ask that next time they be served without the tails. The heavy pink sauce made the tails very difficult to see and hard to remove. - We were seated next to the open kitchen allowing a clear view of the back of the house. I watched the staff for the entire 1.5 hours we were there and never saw anyone that was touching the food wearing gloves or wash their hands. Again, the food was fine. 3 of the 4 of us thought our food tasted OK. However, due to the things listed above and the extremely slow service, I don't think we will be going back. read more

Great Italian food and wonderful staff!! I have recommended to so many people and they all thank me.

We love this hidden gem. it's a romantic little place with excellent fresh food. it's fun to be able to watch the chefs in the kitchen if your viewpoint allows. The desserts are phenomenal and the wait staff are professionals. Pricing is reasonable given the quality. Be sure to make reservations as Mama can be a little cranky about the seating. read more

5 stars - Food 1 star - Service (due to hostess - I'll explain below. This does not apply to the waitress... the waitress was perfect at 5 stars) Business dinner. I am hosting 3 healthcare providers. I arrive 4:55 PM, walk in and was "greeted" by the hostess (turns out is the owner) and she asked "can I HELP you?!" I was asked to go outside as they were not yet open (5 PM), even though it was very cold. I did so, but 2 mins later (~4:58pm) a couple walks up and she seated them directly. She doesn't come get me, so I walk in at 5:02 PM. The restaurant is nearly empty and I'm seated at the only table in front of the kitchen. I ask if I can order an app because I am not permitted to eat (must remain masked) with clients due to my company's strict COVID policy. She begins to argue with me for about 10 mins. She expressed that she thinks this is a crazy policy (because I must stay masked with my guests) and says "I don't think I would do business with your company". Which I thought was an odd statement to make. This continues for a bit and ultimately I never get to order/eat until the end of dinner. As I left, she did not express and thanks or hospitality when I left. I just found the whole thing very odd. Especially as I was hosting a business dinner and looking for more in the future. This was by far the most odd experience I've ever had. I was really disappointed that this happened, especially since everything else was good. Won't be back. If you go, get the Salmon - it was excellent. Good luck Mulberry - very good food - I hope your owner/hostess can take a lesson in manners soon. read more

Welcome to NYC! Fabulous restaurant. Our new favorite. The Italian wife with NY roots is very pleased!

Very nice restaurant, which stayed busy while we were dining. The food was excellent, and the service was exceptional. I would recommend this for a nice evening or special event date night. read more

I don't remember the actual name of it, but I got the angel hair pasta with tomatoes, roasted red peppers (no pistachios) with garlic and olive oil. I was a little scared when it came out because it didn't look like a decent serving. But I have to say it was amazing!! And i was completely stuffed by the time I was done. The gentleman was very attentive and friendly. Had a 3 layer desert too, fantastic! I'll definitely be back here when I come to Bluffton again. read more

Fool me twice , shame on me. Rude. Rude. Rude. We first went here on Xmas eve, food was good Italian (for the area) , despite the Hostess telling us as we sat " don't even attempt to order any substitutions off the menu bc it's not happening tonight, also you have to be up in 75 min or we are going to package your food up" this was after she was just rude altogether when we first came in and the person behind us didn't shut the door tight enough , she yelled at them " were not heating the whole town" , our meal was mediocre-good, the appetizers were amazing and our server was nice so I decided to give it another try. Hoping the Hostess Nazi wouldn't be working. So my friend and I tried walking into the bar part ( to the right as you attempt to walk in ) All of a sudden we hear screaming " get out! That's reserved , you can't go in there! Get out" it was so obnoxious that many people started staring and laughing at her. I'm sure which enraged her more , I just said " oh we were just going to the bar , not a table" she looked at me and said " I said get out , it's reserved for guests who made reservations m, not you" as she shook her bobble head and her eyes were bulging out, now at a NORMAL place where reservations are mandatory for even the bar seats , I would assume the commentary would be something like " I'm sorry, unfortunately we are all booked for tonight" I have never dealt with someone so rude working at a restaurant, and I am from the NJ. I don't even want to give this one star but I have to in order to post. I will now be telling everyone to Boycott this place bc of the awful gatekeeper crazy pants hostess who has zero manners. I should have listened to the other reviews as her reputation proceeds her. Go elsewhere where you are treated like a human being. read more

Enjoyed another delicious dinner at Mulberry St last night. Tables we're socially distant for safety. Two of us had the Carbonara...... Absolutely superb. Our server was a pro! Let's support our local restaurants, they do a great take business as well read more

Good food and service but extremely noisy. Maybe just bad acoustics but couldn't hold conversation.
