Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar

I love the ambiance and feel of the outdoor patio. The plants, patio lights, and pool make Muliono a huge winner on vibes. That said, the food is average to slighty above average. Nothing I've had is straight up bad by any means! But there's a couple things that make the prices not worth it. Too much salt here, somewhat undercooked pasta there, etc. I did really enjoy the Tiramisu and cannoli though. To me, this is a great place to get a drink or dessert in nice weather.

An underrated and hidden gem! Don't skip out on this place, the staff and the atmosphere really made the restaurant. I recently visited for dinner with a friend and her family, and the staff was so accommodating and friendly. The food itself is also incredible and definitely a must-try place!

Had a great meal with some friends. Had the ribeye and shared a bottle of wine. Missed the mark a little bit on service. Our waiters were very friendly but it seemed like one was still training, and as a result missed a few minor things that also weren’t noticed by his trainer (filling water, a request for condiments, etc). Overall a great dinner!

Absolutely one of the nicest outdoor patios in Raleigh. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this. Our server was excellent and attentive. The food was very good, but maybe not the best given the premium prices.

I had the lasagna & was not disappointed.. we sat outside on a lonely evening. I think our server had too many tables, as we had to wait an unusually long time to ask for drink refills, condiments , napkins, desert..etc.

We went back in December of last year for my cousins birthday and the food was delicious! I got the spaghetti bolognese for my entree and was super full. The cannoli desert went super well with the espresso martini. Atmosphere was beautiful and the staff was super pleasant and kind to all of us. They even made my kid cousin a mocktail drink which was pretty.

I recently visited Mulino for the first time to celebrate a special occasion with a friend, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance, both inside and outside, is absolutely beautiful—perfect for a memorable celebration. Our server, Grant, truly went above and beyond to make the day special. He was so nice, kind, and paid great attention to every detail, ensuring that everything was just right.

Although there were only minors working in the kitchen, and we had to wait quite a while for our food, it was worth the wait. The dishes were absolutely delicious, and we enjoyed every bite. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

This place is awful. Over priced and bad cocktails. Bartenders are obnoxious and scream to talk to the host who scream back so you can always overhear there conversation when they talk poorly about the owners. Overall food was a solid 2/10 cocktails 1/10 staff was a 1/10 the prices were 1/100

5 stars across the board. Friendly, welcoming staff. The lasagna was the best lasagna I have ever had. I would recommend that to anyone who visits. About to order a tiramisu but felt a strong need to leave a review now!

Exquisite options of real Italian food and Italian wines! Service was impeccable and easy to reserve a table. We had several requests and all were accommodated. Will return again when in Raleigh.

It’s difficult to briefly describe how pleased we were with this restaurant! It can rightfully be called one of the best! At least that's the impression I got from the visit.

The first thing that catches your eye is how beautiful everything looks on the territory and inside the premises. Cozy courtyard, beautiful furniture. The outdoor area is simply wonderful! The halls inside are not inferior in comfort and beauty. We managed to sit in a separate room, completely empty and very unusual, at a time when the restaurant was full of people. For this, a special thank you to our waitress. Which means that the service here is also at the highest level!

We ordered cocktails and, of course, pizza. There are no words, everything is simply amazing. Rich taste of drinks and aromatic pizza with the thinnest dough.

I 100% recommend this establishment!

My friend and I had reservations Sunday 10/6 at 6:30pm. I had been before. She had not. We were both super excited and it was a beautiful evening! We sat outside near the pool feature. Everything was going great. Our waiter was nice and friendly. I had gotten lasagna there before. I recommended it. We both ordered it. It came out quickly and looked beautiful. Problem was, it was cold!!! Like straight out of the refrigerator cold. And, in the center, it was hard and cold. I flagged the waiter and he took it back. Shortly after, it was delivered to us again. Being lenient, I could say it was lukewarm. Definitely not warm at all, but no longer ice cold. The waiter checked on us and offered to take it back again or comp it. We said it would be ok and didn’t ask for anything to be done. But, how did this happen? Lasagna is usually served so hot you have to wait to eat it! It had a good taste but should have never been served TWICE so cold. I will have a hard time recommending this restaurant to someone. The bread and dessert were fantastic.
